Long wait before our slot with nowhere to sit. The activity itself was fine. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.

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.

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.
