First of all, whatever bad review you see, I genuinely have no idea why they are up and live. Second of all, the way these people were accommodating to us, has no limits. They were extremely friendly, super helpful in ANYTHING and EVERYTHING we needed. My partner had a foot injury and they made sure that all the activities were tailored to her pace. We did not feel rushed, we did not feel any inconvenience because of them whatsoever. Canyoning was super super cool. The zipline was so much fun. The rafting was a show on its own. The guys were hilarious, we all had a wonderful time together. The price was so worth everything. I am simply grateful for these people for giving us an amazing time, accommodating us with all our needs, and all in all an unforgettable experience.” - Reviewed on 2025-02-04
