There was more hiking accross the islands than I expected. Some in our group struggled. Our tour leader, Benji, was great with lots of background info. Buddhist monistary was a nice surprise.”

While waiting for our bus, we overheard 2 entitled girls mistreat the staff and tell them how they couldn't do their job, only to find out they had booked the tour for the wrong date...and even then, Johnny Tours made it work for them and had them join our tour, all served with a smile. We got to speak to Johnny himself and you can tell this is something he really loves doing. The Jeep tour, fairy stream, and sand dunes were all so fun! We had a great time!”
