They were knowledgable , tought me a lot us of the trail about the inka history and culture . The equipment was great too very conforttable . Overall , a great one in a lifetime experience they were laid back and had humor lots of laughs !! . They showed good kaduship as well , very organized and comunicated clearly too .
