The tour guide was excellent and made the experience a lot of fun. The only downside was that the trip to the location took over an hour, and the air conditioning on the bus wasn’t working properly. Other than that, it was a very enjoyable experience and definitely worth recommending.

The organization was excellent from the lively send off at the pension with a brass band feel, to scenic stops along the bus ride accompanied by music echoing through the valleys. Once we arrived, everything was incredibly well managed. Activities were well coordinated, and the guides were outstanding. Bring two pairs of shoes and be prepared to fall in love with both the locals and the breathtaking landscapes. This was the best activity I’ve ever experienced.

The tour itself was enjoyable, but the beginning was quite chaotic with long waiting times and a lack of clear communication, as several different tours were handled at the same time. It's also worth noting that the required neoprene suit and shoes for rafting come at an extra cost.

We were fortunate with our hotel’s location last to be picked up and first to be dropped off. The driver took us to the rafting base, where we transferred to jeeps. The drive up to the canyon was fantastic, accompanied by music and a refreshing breeze. The views were truly incredible.
