Eight of us visited The Cranleigh, Bournemouth, on 20/11/24, at lunchtime for a Christmas dinner. The food and service were excellent, and very reasonably priced

The tour was taken care of end to end. The guides managed everything with precision. We started the trip as 12 am at night and then went to Antigua for the gear and transfer to 4x4. We started the hike at 1 am and it was beautiful. The guide who climbed with us was very nice and understanding. It is not an easy hike, we wanted to give up mid way but our guide pushed us (glad he did!) and the sunrise was beautiful! When we came back, they gave us pancakes. My only complain would be the driver for the 4x4 (nice overall) started taking calls while driving. We we already up the whole night and the non stop talking gave a headache.

Very well organized, knowledgeable, and communicative company, driver, and guide. Mother nature you cannot control and almost threw us a curveball, but it cleared just in time and had an unforgettable experience with above the cloud increadible views, wildflowers of all colors, and the highlight an eruption of Volcan Fuego next door @ summit. Highly recommended, tough hike with altitude but doable for most decently in shape.
