I could not have had a better time. Yes, it was physically exhausting, yes it was tiring, yes it was the hardest thing I have ever done. BUT – the guides and cooks made it seem like a breeze. They were supportive and always concerned that I was enjoying my time. The scenery is breath-taking, the history and culture is amazing and the overall experience is second to none. I looked at lots of groups and this one seemed like a fair price – it turned out to be a great value. We had better camping sites than others on the trail and many of our entrance fees were included when I heard that others were not. I would recommend this tour and this group to anyone looking to step outside of their comfort zone and enjoy this wonder of the world.
