Highlighted reviews from other travelers
It was really great experience! Would recommend to everyone. You don’t need to pay the most expensive one to have the best time, I suggest you bring good gloves and the guide will offer you a beanie, a jacket, a headlamp if you need (they do offer gloves but they are not really warm). It does get cold and very windy on the top
It was the most difficult thing I have ever done. But at the end of the day, I didn’t give up and that’s all that matters. It was worth getting to the top and seeing the beautiful views.
