Beautiful! - A great day out overall! Started at Butterfly Valley which was in 2 sections but we didn't really have the time to do both sections. We were warned there would be no butterflies which was fine but climbed to the top of this beautiful place. Make sure you wear sensible shoes, there are steps and uneven surfaces. There was a cafe at the top and some toilets which were not so great. The toilets on ground level are fine. Once we got back down to the entrance, we did not really have time to do the bottom section but will go back another day and next time will make sure I take some bug spray! I gotten bitten quite a bit and still have the bites a week later.
We then went on to 7 Springs. Again you need sensible footwear. Started off OK, got to the area where the restaurant was and just beyond that started to get a little difficult to climb so we turned back. Glad I did not walk the tunnel - I suffer from claustrophobia. Saw some male and female peacocks which was amazing. Sat and had an ice cold drink in the cafe and then it was time to return to the bus.
Overall there is not enough time to do it all.

Great tour and sights - We were the first excursion to butterfly valley and seven springs with a lovely lady tour guide, they picked up up from the hotel and dropped us back, the lady explained to us about history of each area and despite the rainy weather she kept everyone’s spirits up, we made a extra stop at the “ghost town” where the old hospital and school was back in the war.
I would 100% recommend this company and tour.

Perfect 👌🏻 - The valley of the Butterflies is amazing, incredible trees and rivers. We had the honor to carry us by Manos (Owners) who was pleasant and speaking throughout the journey. He took care of us with the above, giving us information and of course he did us many favors and the most important was to save us a lot of travel and time.

Seven Springs Valley - should come with a health warning - Should come with a health warning
This place should come with a health warning.
Tends to be included as part of tour packages. However, what they don’t tell you is how dangerous this place is, nor that it isn’t suitable for those with mobility concerns.
We went as part of a wider trip and were told we had an hour before we had be back on the bus.
There were 3 coaches there when we arrived…and this is where the problem started.
You are told that it’s an approx 6 min walk up an incline to the middle point. The walk starts off on a gravel path but then it quickly turns into walking over rocky outcrops and the path narrows. Not too bad, you may think! However, factor in 3 coach tours having to wak in single file up the path, which isn’t signposted and the path just gets narrower and narrower, with rocky outcrops underfoot getting worse.
In places the path is only 3-4 foot wide AND there are no rails, so feasible to slip and fall down the side (approx 8 feet) below. Very dangerous. To add to this there are people coming down the other way!!!
Half way up there is a cafe gift shop, which was a welcome respite stop.
We tried to carry on to the top…we were told another 6-7 min walk up. The climb just got steeper and steeper and had to literally climb up rocks. GAVE UP and never got to the top, as wouldn’t have gotten back down in time.
Definitely not recommended for those with mobility concerns and those with young children and if you decide to venture up…wear sensible shoes, trainers and don’t wear flip flops (ps - I did wear sensible shoes).
