Their involvement, positive attitude, and great sense of humor created a relaxed and fun atmosphere, even during the more challenging parts of the climbs. They knew exactly how to motivate the group, give clear explanations, and make everyone feel comfortable. The group itself was also a big highlight.

Je moet een beetje fit zijn en langere stukken kunnen lopen. Verder spreken niet alle drivers goed Engels dus je moet soms je vragen bewaren voor de gids die Engels spreekt. Verder is de vulkaan een beetje ingestort dus je gaat geen lava zien.”
