"Our guide arrived to pick us up in an immaculate van and explained the whole trip as we drove to falls. He pointed out some very interesting facts, landmarks and fauna along the way. Was probably the best tour guide we have had in decades. He ensured everyone was safe and walking at a comfortable pace and had answers to our questions along the path. We recommend Nature and You as your go to tour guides!!!"
