I appreciated that it was a small, intimate tour, only around 20 people, on a very pleasant smaller bus
with large windows for great views. Our driver, John, was knowledgable, informative, and entertaining.
But I was especially impressed by the efficiency of your organization: We had an incident of our bus
breaking down, only 6 miles before we reached Volcanoes National Park (fan broke, and cut a radiator hose,
apparently). While we had to wait on the side of the road for a while, John got on the phone, and within a
short time a solution was arranged. One of your other tour buses was just finishing at Volcanoes, so he
drove down to his next stop, just behind us, left his tour group, and returned to transport us to our lunch
stop at the Volcano House. And while we ate, a replacement bus was sent for us to continue our tour.
So despite the breakdown, we didnt miss a single part of our tour. I was extremely impressed with how
calmly and efficiently an unfortunate matter was dealt with.
I had a great time, and will definitely book tours with you in the future.

The bus driver/tour guide was wonderful. His knowledge, story telling ability and people skills made the trip worth every penny and minute. We debated just driving to the sites ourselves but thought it would be much more interesting if a guide narrated the trip. We made the right decision, he made the difference. I could do without the stops at the stores but my wife would have been disappointed. I think a few more minutes at the lava tube (and have some flashlights on the bus) to explore the unlit portion of the tube would have made the trip more interesting. The tube was one of the highlights for me. If you have to cut some time out of the nut factory shopping stop, that would be OK, we were there for quite a while.
