Peanut was absolutely incredible — hands down one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. From start to finish, they brought such a fun, calm, and welcoming vibe to the group. They kept us so well informed every day, updating the group chat with the plan so clearly that there was never any confusion about what was happening or where we needed to be. They were unbelievably organised but also so much fun — constantly making us laugh and creating such a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. It honestly felt like travelling with a really good friend. If anyone needed anything, whether it was help finding something, feeling unwell, or just needing a bit of extra support, Peanut always knew exactly what to do or where to go. The itinerary itself was brilliant, but it was Peanut who made it all so special. I truly couldn’t fault a single thing. If you get the chance to tour with them — take it. You’re in the best hands!!
