Dumb expensive. Find another comp that wont rob your wallet. Mayb if they lower prices, they might get considered. Found a better comp, lesser expense and more fulfilling. Good luck to whoever books here.

We had a wonderful experience touring with MY XO Adventures. Our guide was knowledgeable about the area and took us off the beaten path, which we thoroughly enjoyed. We had no stress, his time was our time. He attended to the individual needs of each of us and took these into consideration. He even took photos that he shared with us at the end of our tours. We would definitely use XO Adventures again!
