Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Would send friends their way.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Simple food, well made, and enough of it.

Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Would book with them again.

Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. Would send friends their way.

Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.
