“The same routes by train and guesthouse”
Overnight trains, guesthouses and no private cars. Slower and a fraction of the price, and the trains are half the point.
Long wait before our slot with nowhere to sit. The activity itself was fine. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.
Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

Thank you. We've taken the point about the transfer and are reviewing it.
Short, but the safety brief was thorough and the crew were completely unhurried. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Solid operator.
Worth it for the view alone. Everything ran to time. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Would book with them again.
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you on another trip.
I was very nervous and the team were patient about it. Would do again. Would book with them again.
Worth it for the view alone. Everything ran to time. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones. Would send friends their way.

Because flying is a weather event. Billing needs the wind coming up the slope, under about fifteen knots, with reasonable visibility — and a day that looks fine in Bir can be unflyable at the launch. A single-window trip sends people home without flying.
