Go for it

Wonderful trip. Our guide Monika was superb. She took great care in explaining the trip and maintaining time. The view on the road was great. The cost is unbelievably low. We had free meals. I would say may be an air conditioned minibus would have been welcome even at the expense of higher fare.

Excellent, responsible, safe

Congratulations to the guide Yoel for his hospitality, the clarity of his information, and the way—relaxed but responsible—in which he leads groups of almost 20 people on the excursions we took with him. The whole team deserves recognition!
