This weekend trip was very easily arranged with Derek, who took care of the planning, including lots of activity but, in such a way that we never felt rushed. Derek was an excellent and knowledgeable host, who kept us informed yet allowing us space to enjoy and discover for ourselves also. Derek had lots of great recommendations and spots to enjoy as we travelled. Would definitely use Derek's services again. My partner and I even managed to fit in successfully getting engaged!
