We booked this tour and it’s really an easy tour as a one day instead of the entire trip which can be stressful and also rush. Our tour guide is a wonderful lady and very patient and sweet. She speaks English rather well and kept reminding us to walk slowly and be mindful of the slippery icy roads. Highly recommended! We went as a family of 5 (3 children)
