Some really epic views of volcanic landscapes. - Some really epic views of volcanic landscapes. Really enjoyable and the walk can be made easier or harder depending on your fitness. The one criticism I would have is that the digital voiceover for the commentary is a bit grating.

Enjoyable solo trip - Went there as a solo and there were other people there that was solo as well, so the group I was with we all chatted together and enjoyed our time as saw a lot of beautiful scenery. Dinesh our driver was a star, he had so many stories to tell and was really funny. He was very hospitable to me and the rest of group and made sure we had a good time but also for us to understand everything that’s going on and giving information out clearly. Would definitely recommend my friends to do this trip if they ever come down.

Disrespectful guests - The provider deserves a medal! He did everything he could to make our tour enjoyable. Such pity that that some of the guests did thrir best to ruin it be being late for pickup snd two not arriving at all while we waited. This meant we missed time specific events. Dinesh deserves a medal.
