“Our tour guide was Lucas, a friendly big guy with long beard. He boasted himself as one of the best guides worldwide and I thought he was absolutely worth the compliments! Tailored hotel pick up was great. The bus was warm and cozy. He was talkative and knowledgeable, introducing the volcano and explained about tectonic movements along the way and answering questions patiently. He also planned our trip according to the season and weather. We took a few rides with him and learned a lot from his words. Besides, the scenery was beautiful and it was definitely a unique experience hiking on snowy trails. Strongly recommended for travelers to Mt.…”
