John S. was an excellent driver and tour guide. We enjoyed every explanations and stories of places and of remarkable people. Additional with the beautiful sceneries, John S made the drive more interesting, fun and really lovely. The Mountain Goats team was very approachable as well, you can truly reach out to them if you have any queries or confusion especially with the meeting point (road works at their previous meeting location). My partner and I really had an amazing and fun day tour. Kudos to the team, would love to come back someday!
