We had an incredible experience with my family in the mountain, with incredible view. Our stay wont have been so amazing without the extensive knowledge of the guide Mr Karel Tomastik who speaks English, French, Arabic , Czech and maybe more. Thank you Mr Karel for the time.

I really enjoyed this tour. The waterfall and pools were truly stunning and being able to swim with the fish was very special. The other sites were all really beautiful and a wide variety of sites. I recommend hiking down to the bottom of the sinkhole.
