Andrew J was our guide and he was fantastic and knowledgeable.The van was super comfy with just 2 more families. The places were breathtaking and amazingly beautiful. We had a 4 yo kid and our parents 65+ yo. All of them enjoyed the trip and were super happy. Though foyers falls was not the suitable place for our parents as it requires quite a bit of trekking so they stayed in the van. Our kid went down with us and enjoyed the trek. Harry Potter train was an eye candy. Andrew made sure we stopped at enough places for the photos, refreshments and incredible views. He gave us enough time to enjoy at each spot! I think we did not go to the Dores beach and our 12 hrs trip ended by 6 pm. But we all enjoyed a lot and I would definitely recommend this comfortable trip with Andrew J. Thank you so much from all of us for the lovely time.
