5.00The trip to Lake Bovilla was a nice, calm journey and the driver was very chill. The tour guide always waited for people to catch up if they were a little far behind. Lots of needed information was shared on this trip such as how much spare time we had to explore and when we needed to get back. When any of the fellow travelers looked a little tired Lola would hang back to have a little chat which boosted up the positivity in the general area. Along both journeys our guide talked to us through a microphone and was surprisingly funny. If I wasn’t leaving on Friday morning I would love travel with this company again and go on many more exhilarating trips. Reviewed by ‘E’ aged 11

5.00it was a great experience with Lola (the guide). She was very kind and had a good humour.

5.00Awesome experience. Beautiful views. The hike itself is not very long but it’s not super easy. If you are new to hiking, this might not be the best way to learn. Or if you are afraid of heights. But my husband was able to do it and he’s not the most athletic. Just be careful! Make sure you dress appropriately.
