Get ready to see amazing landscapes from amazing people - This experience was wonderful. I saw things I had never seen before and learned a lot about our stops and bodies of water. The landscape is off this planet. The guides were excellent! And Guillermo our driver was super attentive, friendly, we made several stops for photos and always willing! Loved it.

Comprehensive overview - Good content information from Jenny.
The driver drove safely and responsibly.
Better: the vehicle was rather unsuitable for a sightseeing tour. The windows are very dark and very low.
In order to see something, you have to bend over constantly, it gets on your back at some point.
Medical advice would be good in advance: it goes very high at over 4000m.

Very good tour if you visit Manizales - Please note:
The agency subcontracts the guides or people who will carry out the transportation, therefore, they are not part of the agency itself.
Positive:
+ The guide subcontracted by the agency (in our case, Mauritius) excellent. Very good explanations, friendly and clarified doubts we had during the tour. I stress that the guide is NOT part of the agency.
Negative:
- The price (relatively high)
The agency informed us of the wrong license plate and guide. This can lead to awkward moments, as happened to us by ignoring Mauritius for a few minutes before resolving the misunderstanding.
The agency was unaware that the Fall Thermals were closed, and we had to go to the Earth Living Thermals (which are cheaper). Still, there was no discount on the price.
Generates:
Very good tour, very interesting and if you are lucky with the guide, excellent. Agency mistakes, while minor, are best taken into account.

One of a kind experience at 4500 meters! - One of a kind experience: going to this height is challenging, but you only walk a few hundred meters. It seems too little, but trust me, you will faint hard! Nice view, volcanic ashes and panorama as well. The hot spring is not very fancy, but not crowded. We were late and the guide accepted to wait us for the time needed. Big thumbs up for them!

BEWARE! - Tour very interesting ! Good guide ! Chances to see the summit are slim ! Fog and rain at the highest level! BEWARE! I booked my tour the day before ! When I talked to other people I realized that I paid twice as much with trip advisor!

Wasn't what we expected. - Guide don't speak basic english and don't give a lot of unknown information.
You don't hike at the mountain.
