The tour was really great!! We had perfect weather and our guide accompanied us to the top really well! The path up wasn't easy, you had to climb a bit, but it was definitely worth it! We would have liked to have been up there a little earlier though, we could only see the red sky before the sun rose while climbing. All in all, a perfect hike!
