A nice experience in a beautiful place. However, it was a shame that only 1 guide spoke English, the other guides could not give any tips or guidance, which was a shame as a beginner. Overall, little explanation or guidance was given.

Had a great experience with Adam, Stefan, Wean, and Air. Instructors were very helpful and knowledgeable. We all felt safe and they took our level of climbing experience into account with how they supported the climbs.

This was such a great tour. Lots of different climbs of varying difficulties. The tour was well organised and the staff are fantastic. Our guide was great at getting to know our names, helping and encouraging us with our climbs, and adding some humour!

Although the Tuktuk missed out the first day because lacking of communication with traveling agency, the whole climbing experience with them was really great. And fortunately we had another day so that we got the chance to climb with them. When we arrived, the group set the route carefully and taught beginners basic knowledge in details to make sure safety. They set routes with different grades and all players can enjoy. There was an adorable doggy joined us the day we when climbed.
