I´ve been on guided snowmobile tours before, so I have a few to compare this to. Leon was the most informative and professional guide I´ve had the pleasure of working with. He was very thorough and was very attentive to our comfort and safety. My bride of four years had never been on a snowmobile, even as a passenger. I was worried that she might be a little overwhelmed by it all. However by the time the tour was over, she was wanting more. I´ve never seen her so happy. Thanks Leon!
