The trip was excellent. The guide was very helpful and took lots of amazing photos. He also knew the best spots. He also was very helpful with helping me hike down the mountain since the trail is very slippery. The only thing I would comment is that he kept repeatedly asking for a tip throughout the trip. I think he could have just mentioned it once and we would have understood.
