Gary far exceeded our expectations from snacks, drinks and being patient with traveling with our mom. If you are hesitant don’t be. He is the Grand Tour Guide on the Island. Also super knowledgeable on the islands, coffee, plants and history. When it comes to where to go with the time we have available he kept us going and on schedule. Thank you Gary”
