Great tour with Ben, our very knowledgeable and friendly guide, i can only recommend. I was let down by another tour company 5min before it started and Ben and the team were leaving from the same location. They took me in and saved the morning. Great service, well organised, and again, super friendly team!

Stunning views. Highly recommend trip for those who do not wish to or can’t hike. Our guide was a former ranger and very knowledgeable. Well done!
