The weather was dreadful with heavy rain from a passing typhoon but our guide, Leon, was the perfect host. He accompanied us on most of our walks, helped us all (6) buy backup raincoats, took photos and generally made the trip as pleasant as possible. Would love to come back some time and visit these amazing sights on a nice day. Thank you Leon.
