From pickup to drop off this was a dream excursion. Our guide was incredible and shared such wonderful history. The view from the top is too hard to describe in words, you have to experience it for yourself. I got to see endless stars, shooting stars, satellites and the most incredible sunrise.

Guide was very knowledgeable and was engaged with our group, he was so funny and laidback! He stopped a many places for us to take pictures and pick up lunch and souvenirs Definitely would recommend this company and this tour guide!

Very relaxing not having to do the driving. Prompt pickup and personable bus driver. Accommodating to food / restroom needs. Beautiful sunset with beautiful scenery

Amazing especially when the tour guides sang at sunrise! Very cold so bring warm clothe for this one.

This is a must do! Very nice and informative. The jackets were essential and appreciated.
