My family of 6 (2 adults and kids ages: 15, 12, 11 and 8) really enjoyed the zip lining tour. It was super fun and the guides made it even more exciting with their funny jokes and activities. The guides were excellent - very knowledgable, helpful, patient and super funny. The timing (half day) was perfect (not too long not too short). They also offered a funny tour of the area while we drove to the sight. I highly recommend. If you are there say hi to Austin, Tina, Dylan and Kyle (best guides ever!)

We had a great tour! The weather was perfect and we could see for miles. This trip wasn't as expensive as the train. My friends took the train and were actually wishing they had joined us because we could see more and we were able to get out and take photos.

This tour was well worth the money. Our guide, Brian, regaled us with fascinating historical, personal and local information and stories. The drive around the town and up the historic mountain pass was more flexible and offered more photographic moments than the more expensive train ride. The weather was rainy and foggy, but the experience was still the highlight of our trip.
