The team of professionals that managed the trip and took care of the guest were extremely knowledgeable; kind; had great senses of humor; and had great enthusiasm for what they do. It was refreshing to be in their presence! Thank you to the guide who allowed me to wear his jacket and shared his love of flora as well as for the Ox. We appreciated learning how plant, animal, and land, correlated with each other. This was such an enriching experience! My adult son and I will cherish this moment for life!”
