Both the driver Babu and our guide Matthew were very nice and accommodating. The driver explained a lot to us on the way and showed us animals. The guide completely adapted to our expectations in terms of the duration and difficulty of the hike through the tea plantation. We stopped at good restaurants for both breakfast and lunch, which were reasonably priced and the food was of good quality. On the way back we were free to stop at a chocolate factory and spice shop. However, you should be able to handle a lot of curves, as half of the way up the mountains is very curvy. All in all, definitely not a cheap tour, but it was definitely worth it!
