5.00I joined the frozen waterfall tour with JB and Pierre and had such a great time. The scenery was stunning, and JB made the hike even more interesting by sharing lots of insightful and engaging information along the way. Everything felt very well organized, and the vibe was relaxed and friendly. The barbecue at the end was a really lovely and cozy finish to the whole experience. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip - highly recommend!
Brilliant tour, stunning views and great company!

5.00I loved every moment of the tour! Thank you, Will and Hugo, for being the best guides :) The small group size allowed us all to socialise more, which I really enjoyed. Will had plenty of interesting facts about the fauna, flora, and the history of the canyon. It made the experience even better seeing how passionate he is about what he does. He’s also an excellent photographer! The hike is not very challenging, but it can be slippery at times due to ice (depending on the weather). The frozen waterfalls were stunning and change a lot throughout the season. After the hike, we had barbecued sausages (vegan/vegetarian options are available upon request too). Thank you so much for an amazing tour! ❤️
Great
