Nous avons été surpris d'apprendre que nous ne serions que les deux personnes bénéficiant de la visite. C'était presque une visite privée.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and was friendly. The time of day was perfect as it was a little cooler. The walk was slightly strenuous, but not overly so. Important to wear suitable footwear, as, in some places, ground quite uneven. Would recommend.
