He took care of the whole group and checked on everyone repeatedly to ensure that no one is falling behind. He even carried an older lady downhill where it was too complicated for her to walk further! This said, please pay attention that the speed you'll be walking with is a speed of the slowest in the group, so enjoy the more relaxing walk:)”

“We had a great experience on this tour! Our tour guide Bebe was very well informed on the vulcanic landscape and the eruption of 2021. She told us a lot of interesting facts and explained them in a clear way, with a bit of humor. It was very special to walk in an area that is restricted for general walking and we were able to see the vulcanic craters from fairly up close. The landscape constantly felt surreal, so it was nice that we regularly took a little break to look around and take some photos. I would say the tour is very doable for fairly fit people and that…”
