Friend trip to Leavenworth
Lindsey was an amazing guide for our excursion into Leavenworth. He was knowledgeable about the area, but also just a ton of fun as a companion for the day. It felt like hanging out with a new friend, and he even picked up a pair of lederhosen along the way so he could match our excessively German style for the day.

Awesome snowy Christmas experience!
The whole tour was awesome. Our guide Karen had so much local knowledge and took the time to allow us to stop and see the snow - a novelty for us Aussies. Leavenworth was everything we hoped with snow on the ground and everything. Thankyou Karen for being such an awesome guide and the gluten free snacks were very appreciated and delicious!! As was the hot coffee and tea on the hike!!!
