    Great guide. I knew it was a long hike, but I told the guide that I was not in very good physical condition and he accompanied me all the way. He made sure I understood the history and didn't overwhelm me on the hike.

    The weather was good for walking. We shared a good time with the group and everyone was very attentive, the guide promoted the integration of the group. He asked questions so that we all interacted and had a very enriching experience.
