Engaged this tour package and was assigned a driver cum tour guide, Mr Sanju, who was very experienced and brought us around. He showed us some of the other spots during the tour as well. Had a great time with him as a guide! Thank you!

too many people, hiking in the column can be organized well alone and for half the price!

Excellent day. Guide was great. Would recommend this trip
