Such an amazing day! Luciano was absolutely wonderful! My mom (79) was with us and he made sure she was doing well the entire time. He even took extra time with us to make sure we saw everything as well as giving us recommendations for the rest of our time here. Highly recommend this tour and Luciano!

Super friendly guides, all in all a great experience. The one star deduction is for changing in the middle of the meadow or after the tour behind the car. Otherwise we were super happy and had fun

Pick up very punctually, relaxed drive with interesting travel tips from Michael, great view on the mountain. The ice cave is fascinating and well worth seeing.

Amazing tour! Would highly recommend the rafting for anyone. Our tour guide Luke was incredible and kept us laughing thr whole time.

Everything was fine but we were were waiting a bit to much.
