Day of excursion: trip company was really good communicating prior to arrival that am. Hike/excursion was awesome - would not have been able to do this without them. Pablo and Sebastian shared a lot of information about the area, tips on how to navigate challenging spots on the hike that I can totally see myself applying to other hikes in the future. Lunch and the wine after were great. Days before excursion: definitely take the advice of what to bring on the hike - long pants, windbreaker or long sleeve shirt, hat, etc. We needed all of that. It was hard to get in touch with the trip company prior to the day of travel; I tried email and Get Your Guide and found it easiest to get someone local to touch base with them for me and get me in contact with them via WhatsApp. The issue I had prior to the trip was that I could not select my hotel for pick up on Get your guide and needed to confirm if they could pick us up at the hotel (they could).
