The Luray Caverns were beautiful, but very full of people who have not appreciated this natural wonder. Also the skyline drive is definitely worth a visit, but I would have liked it if the tour guide had also given us some background information.
Moreover our tour guide Gerry wasn't well organizied. At the beginning of the tour, he does not give really instructions about our day plan and besides, his English wasn't necessarily the best. Moreover, he didn't tell the whole group the departure time after the caverns, which had the effect that we had to wait about 30 minutes in the van until the last persons came out of the caverns. In addition he doesn't show us a really good hiking path. It was just a way up and down with nothing to see.

The caverns are truly a treasure and we had a perfect amount of time there. Following that, our guide took us on a great tour of the Shenandoah National Park, with many stops to view the scenery and experience a hike. The day was wonderful and I recommend the tour. Our guide, Gary, was kind and took many pictures of us on our phones—he’s an exceptional photographer so they turned out great. One hitch was that a couple returned 35 minutes late to the bus at one stop—Gary made sure we didn’t lose any tour time, which I very much appreciated (so we got back to DC a bit later than planned).

Great day tour expertly guided by the lovely Emi who kept us in high spirits despite the not so comfortable rental van she and we were unfortunately stuck with. The park and the cavern were beautiful sights.

I feel the trip is overpriced. The tour guide Emi was a great person provided info and took care of everyone on the trip.
This trip did not cover the entire Skyline Drive rather it just covered 4 overlooks out of 75. It did not cover costs of water bottles and lunch (I have traveled with Viator prior to this and they cover lunch, breakfast and water bottle costs)
The tour guide was good but the trip was overpriced
