Care and Resilience: Mundicontact's Guide to Exceptional Adventures! - Mundicontact's guide and driver were absolutely thoughtful, courteous, and responsible throughout the entire journey. They consistently adjusted the tour based on weather and road conditions to ensure an ideal trip. When a friend fell victim to altitude sickness, they were taken care of every step of the way, receiving local remedies and engaging in less strenuous activities without compromising others' experiences. Impressively, when our vehicle broke down at 4700m, Mundicontact stepped up and arranged contingencies, allowing us to make our flight connection on a very tight schedule. Not to mention the very cool suggestions for taking interesting photos. Highly recommended.
