“Best people and best places i've been to!”: The guides are kind and welcoming, they make you not just see the place but also feel its magic and beauty! Their prices are very affordibale and worth the trip. (Byan from Israel in 2018)
"amazingly beautiful and quiet" The landscapes as well as the forests we've been through are amazingly beautiful and quiet. It is a real rest for urban souls. The staff, which are young locals, were very keen to make the best of our afternoon. They speak a very good english, smile without commercial purposes and speak without prefabricated sentences but, what is the most important, they really love their place and enjoy sharing it. We have spent a lovely time there. An highly recommend tour. (Matthieu from Belgium, 2019)

Istvan was a very nice guide, he took us on amazing places, we had a sandwich made by him in top of mountain, the view was astonishing. After that, my husband had his first experience at via ferrata, Istvan took good care of his back. I would highly recommend his tour, we are hoping to have more activities with him. Thank you, Istvan! (Elena from Romania in 2019)
It doesn't get any better: for a rating it is always helpful if you can say what could be optimized. However, I actually have nothing to do with it. ... Our trip was adjusted to the conditions such as weather, personal wishes, transfer, so that an optimal experience was possible and each of us could find his personal highlight. (Kerstin from Germany, 2019)
