Hard work at 56 with moderate fitness but worth it.

5.00Irvin, our guide, had excellent English and gave an interesting and quirky commentary on the way up. The hike was challlenging for me (56 and not particularly fit) and I did not do the last part. The views were beautiful regardless and I sat in the restaurant while everyone else went up. Suggest walking Charlie Chaplin on the way down - the shingles are very slippy. Greaf day though. Great value and worthwhile. Thanks Irvin and Mohammed.
Great trip would recommend

5.00We had a great time with Ervin, the tour guide. The hike is amazing. It’s definitely a work out ! But we managed to finish it with a 6 year old. The views make it so worth it! Thanks to Ervin again :)

5.00Such a great tour! Ervin was a great tour guide! Made us laugh a lot. The sights are amazing! I cannot believe the value for the price. The hike up there is short but if you’re scared of heights it might be challenging. Highly recommend
Amazing trip! Worth every penny

5.00Our tour guide was Ervin, he was amazing! Really informative and funny. The tour itself is definitely not the most challenging but you do need good footwear and be able to walk up a steep hill and climb over rock and stuff. The views are amazing!! Would highly recommend
