    Tesi the guide was good. The only criticism I have is that she gave us too many options: when some people took one option and others another, arrangements became complex. I suggest that the approach should be 'This is what we're going to do. If anybody would like to do something else, let me know'. There should not have been a big hike on the first day, when many people were still suffering from the effects of travel. Although the driver was very helpful, the air-conditioning on the bus did not work well, and the bus was very slow on the last day.
