We booked our TMB trip with Salamander after researching several tour companies online, and are convinced we made the right choice. We toured in July 2016, with Simon as our guide and 12 other people in our group. Simon was an outstanding, personable, skilled and knowledgeable guide, a real pleasure to hike with. The lodging was sometimes rustic, but always clean and pleasant. The hiking was fantastic, the scenery amazing, and the picnic lunches were wonderful. The trip exceeded all our expectations. We highly recommend Salamander, and especially Simon. Best Trip Ever! Rob & Joan (USA)
