We informed him about the heart disease of my partner and he always asked if she/we are okay, adjusted the speed accordingly and was a really friendly and helpful friend along the trek. The hike was quite challenging, but doable for us even though we are not experienced hikers. The communication beforehand was a breeze and the transport was excellent. The accommodation and the included food was good as well and vegetarian options were available.”
