Our experiences with Guillermo was very nice and fun! He was entertaining and informed us of everything we needed to know about this experience. I enjoyed it quite a bit; the food was also very good—both breakfast and lunch. I highly recommend it.
Very nice experience. The guide was excellent, professional and caring.
Unforgettable experience. Thank you Guilhermo for all help and support. I'll be back.
I really liked it! It was not difficult, you feel the height but carrying good pace and breathing all right. Ronald the most! Really what super friendly and set aside some great photos:)
Very complete and well organized tour. Thanks to our guide Ronald for joining us and being attentive to the group at all times (in addition to making the best photos lol) highly recommended!!
One of the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen. It's an exhausting journey but it's worth it! Ronald the guide was excellent, very friendly, attentive and concerned about the condition of all the members of the group.
We had a wonderful day, Ronaldo was everything we can expect from a guide: interesting, took care of everyone in the group paying attention to his reaction to altitude. The driver was perfect considering we had a drive of few hours.
We had a great tour with our guide Ronald, he was very nice and attentive. He was watching out for every member of the group and supplying medicine against altitude sickness if needed Can definitely recommend :)
