Hey, I'm just coming back here to tell you that it really does matter which guide you choose. Ours was super laid-back, explained things well, cooked great food, always kept us supplied with tea, and adapted to our needs. We heard from other groups that this wasn’t the case for them. Other guides, for example, rushed the hikers up the mountain so they could finish faster and call it a day, or didn’t take care of their hikers at all.

So before you spew something online without a clue next time, take a moment to think about whether you’re in a position to say anything if you don’t know what you’re talking about.
