The tour worthes every little penny/cent you pay. The organization, the confort, the views and landscapes are terrific and above all the top of the mountains is amazing. The meal we had was so great, but without any doubt what it really standed this tour out was its guide Shamil (hope i write it correctly). He was supernice to us, kind and attentive and made sure all time we were fine and having fun as well as complying our expectative. Full info provided by him at all times by the way. 5 out of 5 stars for him. I would defenitely reccommend this tour with this company to anyone who wants to live this experience.
