I took the tour with high expectations but my God, Jeremy surpassed them all! This was my friends' first walking tour and he was truly amazed. The route was genius, and Jeremy literally answered all our questions (which were many): he is very knowledgeable and has a joyful way of explaining everything about the park: its evolution and current state.
5/5 could not recommend more. Probably one of the highlights of my vacation.
