Es war eine wunderschöne Wanderung. Der Guide war sehr Aufmerksam, hat viel erklärt und auf Gefahren hingewiesen. Hat viel Spaß gemacht. Würde ich so auch noch mal buchen.
Very well organised right from the pick up to the drop off. Super helpful and knowledgeable guide. Was was quite long, but nice and cool in the shade of the trees. Recommended.
La guía, Susana, es excelente y el servicio de 10
What a great trip! Thank you Susanna and Alan. Was quite an eventful trip and Susanna handled it very well so thank you.
We had three fantastic walks with Elton, who was a fabulous guide, and the staff that helped us book were brilliant too. Defn would recommend the company, the staff, and the walks, and looking forward to returning and doing more walks with them :D
We really recommend that you wear practical walking shoes or boots (no flip-flops :) and bring along a bottle of water and a waterproof. The weather can change quickly. For full day walks we also recommend bringing a snack or picnic. We would also suggest bringing a jacket.
