We had an amazing tour. We rented horses at the starting point of the hike and this helped us to climb the very steep road. Weather was perfect but we would have appreciated to be offered a vegan option for the meals. We asked for a vegan option but we were offered vegetarian and this was a bit annoying. I recommend this company. They speak very good English and always helpful to solve enquiries.
I had a very nice experience with the agency , well organized tour to this amazing place, good food and even the price was better then what you can normally negotiate in the center.
