Reviews by our Fraser Tours customers

Thomas Schlegel, 15 Dec 24
The tour + camp site is very well thought through + organized. Ratio of 33 guests on 1 guide is a bit high. 21 of 33 guests were participants of a longer East coast tour + had their own group dynamic, their guide used his authority to push his interests. No head restraints on middle seat of last row
