5.00Theo was an excellent guide - very friendly and knowledgeable. Good pace for the hike with rest breaks. He also took us down an alternate path down which was a lot of fun. Transport was easy and straightforward. Would highly recommend!

5.00Theo, our guide, did a terrific job getting us up and down the mountain. He was helpful, friendly and entertaining! The thing for everyone to understand is that the hike may not be moderate for you as some descriptions say. Like many things in life the older you are the more difficult things can be. My wife and I around 70 and the hike was not moderate for us, it was hard! Theo was patient and considerate in helping us with the journey. We exercise quite a bit and are generally healthy. While the younger folks were scampering up and down the mountain, we and the other older people in our group, were not. It’s a special experience, just be careful! Thanks Theo!!
Great views and friendly guide

5.00The walk is a bit more challenging than I expected. I knew the length and that there were steps, but most of the hike is on very uneven rocks so you must watch every step. Do not attempt without a hiking stick and expect wet shoes.
