Customer reviews & ratings
An amazing trip that took us to little known places. The whole week was fabulous including the hikes, the views, the history, the places we saw, and the attentive guide and driver. I would recommend to anyone fit/able enough to do a challenging week of hiking. A well designed and organised tour
Carol Oct, 2025 VerifiedBrilliant. Just a comment about the pacing list though - should include the need to bring along a sleeping liner to avoid the need to hire one. Not made aware of this in advance and it would have been good to know as our own liners are more adequate than the hired ones. Great from start to finish. The hike routes, accommodation, transfers and the guide.
