Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. Would book with them again.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones. Would send friends their way.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Good value for what's included.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Recommended.
