Traveler reviews
We arrived at Aguilar de...
We arrived at Aguilar de midi and they didn't give me 48 they gave me 54 and it was 2 hours before I went up . Could not do the second part of tour . Can I get reimbursed for that? Drivers and staff were excellent
we paid a handsome price...
we paid a handsome price for this tour and had to travel in overpacked buses and also the entire ride back there was no a/c in the bus.. asked the bus driver and he simply said it’s broken .. and that entire 2 hour ride was in baking heat ..
great tour a must for those loving nature
wonderful trip and with the guide Chris who was fantastic and informative to say the least , was a pleasure.
Bad weather no problem
Wonderful despite the weather making visability difficult. Still plenty to do and see. The caves were great
Fabulous mountain adventure
This was a brilliant trip ! Read some very poor reviews before we went and we were concerned as it is an expensive day. Our day was excellent. Arrived at the office as requested, very organised set off. Great guide for the day in Etoinne. Each part of the experience was explained- where to be when etc. the problem is people don’t turn up on time and on a scheduled day you just can’t be late ! The guide did leave 5-10 minutes after the agreed timings and stragglers had to catch up even on our trip but I totally agree you need to keep to schedule and we had to play our part; this is where some of the poor reviews came from I think. This whole experience was fabulous and I would thoroughly recommend. Enough time to do your own thing and scheduled bits like the cable car ride and train ride that were amazing to experience. Thank you - well worth the money.
