Overall everything was very good. Only disappointment was we did not get to hike along the upper ridge after we had made the strenuous climb up to the top. Although it was quite windy, we should have been able to hike along the ridge for for for awhile for a while. At least a few others expressed the same sentiment. The guide (HBO) did not offer us the option to continue as planned.

Booking a bus is your only affordable option in a group <3 people. I liked this bus company because they had a fixed schedule. So you knew when you were leaving and arriving. The other major bus companies I hear wait until filled to a certain amount before they leave. So maybe more frequent, but maybe not. Bus was comfortable with chargers and good space. Also not too crowded. Not too complicated with the transfer to the hotel micro bus. Very smooth!

Just be aware, because you are booked with one company does not mean that is the bus you will travel on...also be aware if you need to get to a hotel in the city, you need to pay more for additional bus to take you to a bus stop..after 33hrs of flights it was not ideal waiting outside in the cold to get on while the bus is locked.
