Jess best guide ever - The guide was truly exceptional! Jess speaks French perfectly, but above all he is incredibly kind, cheerful, and full of energy. As for the excursion, we particularly enjoyed the gospel service, and everything was well organized. Another big plus was the ability to book this excursion using the Explorer Pass. Thank you to you and to Jess!

Very disappointing - The guide was a young Brazilian who had lived in New York for 5 years. And the tour was in French! He was reciting the visit and it was very difficult to follow the thread and understand how the elements connected. He could not answer my questions. And the worst was gospell. There were only tourists. Altogether can be 15 locals. And the group of singers was 4. I had spent some time choosing this tour hoping it would not be commercial. It was a failure. This is the only tour of the trip that disappointed us. I don't recommend it.
