Our driver Izz was kind, puntual and really kept us busy with great activities throughout the tour. I liked the way he reads the people who are on tour and adjusts accordingly. Gary and I are retired and need to take a bit of slower pace. I would suggest more information on the hikes prior to their beginning as to difficulty as my partner struggled a bit with footing on some of them. Thanks Izz for taking such good care of Gary and I.
