I thoroughly recommend this tour with Outshine Adventure. The tour guide Santos was fantastic - friendly, professional and caring. The trek was beautiful through villages and mountains going at my own pace. The accommodation was good. The company are honest, fair and professional in meeting all of your needs.
I had a really great time! They made the trip super enjoyable and overall a great experience. Would definitely do this again. I even had issues with altitude sickness and they where able to efficiently help me get down and get treated! Happy I chose this tour group.
