Absolutely top marks for the people taking care of me: the hotel staff, drivers, mountain guide, ... They were friendly, accommodating, competent and extremely well-organized. From that point of view, it's five stars. However, there is one detail that I recommend everyone to inquire about before the booking, so you are not disappointed like I was. For any trip, there is a maximum number of people given, 10 in this case, and when I checked for the date that I wanted, it said 5 places left on that trip. That meant 5 people were already booked, right? No such luck, it turned out I was the only participant. Later I realized that this is a default setting, just like the slogan "Filling fast" beside every upcoming start date. Wrong again. This kind of company policy is misleading at best.Show more

Thank you so much for your five-star praise for our guides, drivers, and hotel partners! We are thrilled that the team on the ground made such a positive impression with their organization and friendliness. Regarding the group size, we sincerely apologize for the confusion. The 'filling fast' labels and availability counters are often automated features of the booking platform to show total capacity, rather than a reflection of our specific company policy. We genuinely appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as we want our guests to have clear expectations. We are glad that being the sole traveler allowed for a highly personalized experience with our mountain guide, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
