Dave and Clayton were top notch! Clayton provided so many interesting facts about everything we were seeing but did it in a fun way. They love what they do and the area where they live and it shows.

David is a fantastic tour guide — knowledgeable about history, agriculture and, in my case, nature. He knows great spots for birdwatching, and I had a few truly breathtaking "David Attenborough" moments.
