It was on my bucket list to hike the Alamfi Coast and Tour Rader helped me forfil that dream. There were three of us that went on this adventure. Before we left Tour Radar sent me an itinerary with step by step instructions including pick up times, tickets, and emergency numbers. Yvonne was are contact and if we had a question she would answer immediately. Our hotel accommodation were spectacular. Nice roo.s with views. Our private minivans were beautiful vehicles and our drivers were top notch. Enzo and Angelo did fantastic jobs. Our private hiking guide Roberto was wonderful. He did a wonderful job guiding us on the trails and explaining everything regarding our locations of each Tour. Everyone was friendly and own time and we felt like we were treated like Royalty. Thank you Tour Radar. I would highly recommend you.Show more
