    Awesome cave and lake tour

    Seeing the caves and the lake tour was wonderful. The only downside of the day was that the tour description of what we were going to see did not match what we did see. The original description included two sites which were omitted. The guide was wonderful, knowledgeable, and very accommodating.

    Fabulous Day with Mike

    Mike was so gracious and gave us great information before and after each attraction. He made sure to give each guest special attention. He made access to each attraction so easy and seamless. We are global travelers but this is one of the best tours we have done. Such a variety of unique things to see all in one day. He was flexible and worked in extra things when we didn't need as much time as others. We would highly recommend booking with Mike.
