“An absolute must for anyone thinking about doing it! An early start but well worth it ! It was by far the best thing we did on the holiday. Tip- more down the registration of the van that picks you up because you have to find it after the first breakfast (and it’s pitch black)”

“really great, amazing experience and very well organised only constructive feedback would be that our first communication was late in the afternoon before the flight - a message a bit earlier, maybe a day before, saying when to expect to know the pickup time would be helpful to put minds at ease highly recommend!”
