“It was great! from the beginning! It was a small group tour and our guide, Jeff was very friendly. He gave us an opportunity to introduce ourselves before we got on the bus. So we warmed up to each other quickly. :) The national park was nice and peaceful, no other tourists! and we had a lovely walk while Jeff was teaching us many things including wild mushrooms. :) Although the smoke sauna was pretty hot! I enjoyed so much! Talking to the locals, feeling the heat & sweat in the sauna and dipping in the lake! So refreshing! I Loved it! Only negative thing was … not enough time.…”
