“Great experience with Octavia as our guide and driver. It’s a long day but we got to see all of the sights and bears along the way. We’d have a couple of providers cancel on us because it would be “too busy” being a Sunday in August but with Octavia we head straight for the lake and only sat in a very small amount of traffic waiting to exit the tunnel. It was brilliant, Octavia was really informative and a great driver too. Definitely recommend!”
