The tour was all inclusive which made it very nice. The drinks, bathrooms, lunch and entrance fees were all included. Our guides Josef and Adam were very knowledgeable regarding the history of the country and the rock formations, plants etc. It was a very enjoyable day. The hikes are all on paths — no rock scrambles. But the paths are steep at times. So if you are in fairly good physical condition you will be fine. I brought trekking poles to take the strain off my knees while going down the hill. And I wore hiking shoes, but you can do this hike with trainers.
