Had a wonderful experience with Salvador our tour guide. Pickup from our accomodation in San Pedro was right on time, he took the time to explain the hike and allowed us to control the pace on the way up, and we were treated to the not only a fantastic sunrise but also great information about the surrounding volcanos, towns, etc. After the sun had risen we were taken to San Juan for a delicious local breakfast before returning to San Pedro.
The hike itself does get tough (especially the last 500meters or so), as it is mostly stairs to reach the summit. But with a few breaks along the way it's relatively easy, and definitely worth it!
