Very satisfied. Steffi was very good and knowledgeable, got to the top, along with our 8 year old. Timings were precise for pick up and plenty of time for photos - would recommend

Robin – United States

Our guide was wonderful in every way and there is no higher recommendation than climbing to the highest volcano, still so simmering hot you can’t put your hand over a vent! 10 stars all around!
