Testomonial: Hi Andy and Daniela...just a quick
note to send our thanks for a tremendous hikking trip along
the West Coast Trail. I know you both wanted Gontran to guide
us, and he was spectacular in helping to accommodate our needs,
and be sure to balance them with the needs of the group. Both
he and Chris skillfully guided us along this arduous trip with
a great sense of humor, and clearly, a lot of professionalism.
It was tough, but fun, and so rewarding. On behalf of our crew,
cheers, and thanks. ~
