This was a lovely day trip. We've experienced MANY tour directors over the years. Amanda with NEAM is right up there with the best. Enthusiastic, pleasant, organized, concise. Provided just the right mix of information and leadership. And...she stayed with us for the tours and lectures. She even told us when she learned something new - no tour director has ever done that. We'll definitely book with NEAM again!
