Driver was much needed and very flexible! Great tour guide! The volcano is not as exciting as one would expect however it was also the hottest day of the year, intense hike up but great view!!!

The price / quality ratio was not balanced ... we were picked up by a decrepit minivan who had to take us to the entrance. Along the way we were stopped by the police because the papers of the car apparently were not in order. We had to wait a long time for a replacement van. At the entrance it turned out not to be a private tour, but we just had to join the standard groups. Far too expensive for what you get ...
