Fantastic hike - This hike was amazing. The scenery was great and walking through Chelva was like stepping back in time. Our guide, Howard, was a wealth of knowledge and so fun to talk to. You do need to really be prepared to hike - I think it was about 9 miles! Would absolutely book a tour with them again.

A Sunday with Nature and History - I have been on a handful of hikes with Howard and this one is special. It is a perfect blend of history, nature, waterfalls/streams for summer and includes walking through Chelva, a beautiful town.
The aqueduct has survived close to 20 centuries and the fact that you can literally walk on it is amazing. The tunnels cut through the rocks are fascinating and takes my respectg for the historic humans to another level.
I doubt if the trip would have been the same if it wasn't for Howard, who is very knowledgeable, friendly and organised.
A big thumbs up from me!
