Highlighted reviews from other travelers
Melinda was awesome. As someone who's studied geology, she is knowledgeable and able to explain in a lot of details. There were only 2 of us (my husband and I), so she brought us to one of the harder routes (apparently). I'm quite afraid of dark and small places, but somehow all that sliding, climbing and squeezing into tight spaces were fine! You'll get used to it in no time! She taught us the tips and tricks to pass through all of them. It was definitely the highlight of our trip! It does requires one to be fit, and I suggest anyone who's joining this tour to wear sports clothing and a shoe you don't mind getting dirty - I wore my sparkly white shoes and safe to say, it's no longer white after 😂
We had a brilliant time. Our guide was super patient with ny friend and I and extremely helpful!
