Katri was able to cater to the participants' needs and manage expectations based on how the trip unfolded. During the excursion, she shared interesting facts about nature and the national park. The trail snacks were delicious! The trip was a cheerful experience from start to finish, and my child really enjoyed meeting new people!"
