Gabrielle is very friendly and knowledgeable. She has a likable kindness and sense of humor. She genuinely cares that her guests have a great experience. I wasn't feeling well in the morning because of lack of sleep and she noticed and offered some liquid IV. It helped so much! The tour was so helpful in getting to the best sights to see without having to wander around wondering what would be the best thing to see in such a short amount of time. She also answered all of our questions and gave us things to notice and understand while we were on tour. Sometimes when you go somewhere on your own it is easy to just walk by things and not notice. On tour, we were able to see and notice a lot more than we would have on our own, which made the experience that much better.

I really liked walking up the infernal cone. That was a very unique experience. Hiking in various places of this preserve was really fascinating. Going as a tour group made the experience even more enjoyable.

Gabriella is one of the best tour guides I have had. She is fun, energetic, safety conscious, educational and provided us an experience of a life time. She was able to provide the path for the boys were are avid hikers so they could go on ahead of the group, while taking the time with the rest of the group. She was encouraging to us on the hike to take it slow and keep going. If you have Gabriella as your tour guide you will enjoy the Craters of the Moon tour and have a fabulous time.
