Our amazing guides (Michel and Alberto) were clearly experts of the route and guiding people up it. Our group was of varying abilities and our guides made sure everyone was comfortable and still had a great day in the area. All the way to summit, I felt great about how our guide kept the group motivated and safe the entire way. Our guides did more than just get us from point A and point B– they also were great conversationalists and teachers. Highly recommend! For people looking to book around the same time of year as us (mid-November), there was no snow. We may have lucked out with the perfect weather on our day (low-winds, ~40-50F). We also had little issues with traffic entering the park despite going on a Saturday.

Best experience ever! Our guides were friendly, attentive, professional, & attentive. I felt welcome since the moment I got to the meeting point, they make sure we had the appropriate gear before leaving. They took care of all of us while hiking. We took several breaks to make sure we were ok with the altitude. Overall it was a great experience and I’m so looking forward to go on another hiking adventure with them.

Michel and Allen are the best with professional knowledge and active mind. Also feel lucky to meet my teammate Chris and Yoyo that we finally make it to the summit together. The view at the summit are definitely worthy the effort. (Plus I would appreciate it if the company upgrade the van which is too old hahaha , but still the tour is flawless)

Wonderful experience! The guides were very experienced and knowledgeable. They covered for everything, from transportation to hiking equipment, snacks, lunch and dinner. The hike and climb to the summit was tougher than I expected but the views were definitely worth it!

We had a great time with our guide, Alan. He was friendly and patient as we tried to get our 6 year old to the summit. My son told me repeatedly how happy he was that we had Alan as a guide. The pick up and drop off for the tour were really easy and convenient.
