Great tour!
Our tour guide, Sedick, was very friendly, knowledgeable and upbeat! We were fortunate to see several animals in their natural habitat. I would highly recommend this tour.

Great half day peninsula tour!
Great half day tour seeing the main sights of the peninsula. Sedick was an engaging guide who kept us to schedule and on time. Saw quite a lot in half a day, although maybe could have done with a little more time at each stop to fully soak in the atmosphere of each place. All in all would recommend it to other travellers!

Perfect tour to see the region
The tour was really well planned, and we had enough time at each stop. I rarely participate in full-day tours since I often travel by car myself. But I had enough time. Our group was not too large and consisted of 7 guests plus Mr. Jeff, our guide. Mr. Jeff was very warm-hearted and laughed with us. He could tell us a lot about the different areas.
