1.00poor experience, we paid for this excursion/tour at 6:45 pm. They changed to 3:30 pm. They deny refunding our money. Please don't do bussines with this unprofessional and irresponsible tour operator. We are frustrated and disappointed.

5.00Great guide and very knowledgeable and fun. Unfortunately our group needed to split up as the summit ride had temporarily closed but we spent the rest of the trip exploring, having a bite to eat on the first level and burning many calories in the process. Not for the faint hearted if you want to climb.
