Summary:
Excellent experience from the very beginning and beyond its end.
From the moment we set contact with Aron via email to plan our trip we got the support and information we needed. He responds quickly, is very professional and knowledgeable. He was able to adapt and tailor the trip according to our needs, keeping enough flexibility to make changes “on the road” if needed. He works tirelessly to fulfill any wishes. He can only recommend him 100%
Once on tour with him and Elias (a great driver!) you feel like you are family, not just “visiting” but experiencing culture firsthand.
We left with two friends in Jinka, who we hope to see again!
