Very professional - Very professional service.
The only drawback was the very different paces of the hikers. I reached the meeting place at the end shortly after 12pm (admittedly, I should have walked at a slower pace), while the guide and stragglers didn’t arrive until 2pm, just as the bus was preparing to leave. This meant I had lunch and then sat on my hands for more than an hour. There’s nothing to do at the endpoint, except hang around the taverna. My advice would be to time yourself when walking to avoid arriving too early at the endpoint. Contemplate the flowers.
That said, this was a very well organised and reliable day trip that I would absolutely recommend. The bus arrived and left exactly on time. There was even time for a (glorious) swim at Hora Sfakion.
