Judy was by far the BEST guide I could have asked for. Very knowledgeable, friendly, patient and genuinely interested in making sure I had a great experience. Easy to understand, a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond often to provide a memorable experience. She even offered to take my photo at all of the sites throughout the day to help me capture our time together. Highly recommended!
