Ray Haakonsen was an exceptional tour guide. From our initial email connection he listened carefully, proposed a tour, flexed when I wanted to add in some extras and then fully delivered. From the airport pick up to his informative anecdotes he was exceptional. Ray could answer questions from history to geology and had interesting funny legends that he passed on. He was early each day, kept us on track and had us back to head to the pool when he said he would. The tours were relaxed and yet we covered so much. He showed us the peninsula, the wine route and the city - our group would go with him again in a heartbeat, and are already recommending him to friends.
