The tour was amazing and well organised. They picked us up from our hotel and drop us to a meeting point because we had another tour about to start, where the others were dropped back to their hotels. Tour was very responsive with all our enquiries, especially in my case I got a hotel change last minute, and still they could accommodate our pickup. We went in mid February, it was freeeezing cold. Wear plenty of layers please Might come back to bring family to enjoy the beautiful view in warmer season. :)

It was a wonderful ride. Our guide is very experienced and professional. He speaks very good English and takes care of us well, helps taking our pictures. I will highly recommend the ATV ride with him.

All excellent apart from the almost two hours of waiting before the opening (you told us that they opened at 9.30 and instead they opened at 10.45 !!!!)
