we had the best time! QimQim was so lively and crazy funny, he kept us alive and entertained even in the middle of the night! Malik had an answer to every question and was so patient with us, just like Sofie who looked out for all of us and made sure we were safe and happy. Raffi was just as sweet and helpful when it came to slightly more difficult terrain. an amazing experience we can only recommend, beautiful nature and insanely competent local guides!!
