Day Trip with Joel - So let me start by saying this company has exceeded m expectations. Their communication skills is second to none, they kept us informed from start to finish. Now let me get to our day trip to Lake Materuni and the hot spring , Joel our guide was very prompt in picking us up from our hotel. His consumer service went above and beyond . As soon as we got in the car we were provided with the WiFi so that we could keep in contact with our loved ones. Refreshment was also provided . When we got to the tour, he was very patient with us. He even stayed behind with one of our friends until she was rescued by the TUK TUK 😉 At one point he was our personal photographer, taking pics from all angles (who doesn’t like this 😂) . We then ate lunch together before doing the coffee tour and throughout the entire time he was patient and I could see that his actions were all genuine. In the evening we made our way to the hot spring and in spite of receiving African massage, he took his time navigating the rough roads. Again at the springs he was our photographer and didn’t rush us at all. We ended the night by getting chicken barbecue and chapati. 10/10 would recommend this company and remember to ask for Joel by name .

Excellent hike and coffee tour! - This trip was absolutely amazing. Our guide Joel was on time and super attentive throughout the journey. He made sure we were all fine on the hike and was our personal professional photographer. The coffee tour was also an informative experience: from the stages to brewing it and having a relaxing cup of coffee. On to the hot springs tour on our African massage trail, a lovely way to end the evening. At the end of our trip, we grabbed some delicious street food so we could retire to our beds with filled bellies after a long but enjoyable day! Thank you Joel. You were absolutely wonderful.

Incredible one day your - It was an amazing experience, and it was even better because of our guide Joel, he was helpful, he explained things, any question we asked he'd answered very good, he is funny and really cares about the tourists....would definitely ask for him when I come back. All 3 places are incredible, the small hike to the waterfall with all the scenery is beautiful, watching the process of.making coffe in such an artisan way and of course enjoying a cup of it. And finally to put a cherry on top, the hot springs are so good to swim, the water is not hot but like 20-23 Celcius but it is so nice swimming and refreshing there.

Don't miss it! - At first, I would like to express that the people provide the experiences. Joel was treating me so well and we had a blast! Respectful, thoughtful and wanted me to have a great experience all day. Joel had though of everything, the car was very clean, communication was awesome as he is a fluent speaker in English, he had wifi free of charge and he was a great photographer . All in one! The tour was so carefully planned and all the people were a delight. Don't miss it!

Nice tour! - The tour is fantastic and well organized. There’s only me in the tour today and my tour guide Joel is kind enough to wait for me. Although we started almost 2 hours late. Joel didn’t rush it and I had a good time. They provide roast beef for lunch and it hit the spot, especially after the hike. This tour is suitable for everyone who loves nature especially if you like to get into the water! Would definitely come back soon!
