5Wow what an experience. ...
Wow what an experience. We had sunshine and snowfall during November. Beautiful part of the world. Highly recommended.
5Great day trip for solo traveller
The day ran very smoothly. It covered the big ticket destinations. Unfortunately the stop at Dove Lake was not long enough to do the loop around the lake. Commentary was fantastic.
