The organization was excellent from the lively send off at the pension with a brass band feel, to scenic stops along the bus ride accompanied by music echoing through the valleys. Once we arrived, everything was incredibly well managed. Activities were well coordinated, and the guides were outstanding. Bring two pairs of shoes and be prepared to fall in love with both the locals and the breathtaking landscapes. This was the best activity I’ve ever experienced.
