“My hiking experience with Min was really nice! I would definitely recommend hiking shoes for this hike though cause it is slippery no matter how great the weather is that day. But all in all it was great, I was the only person that day so she really adapted the tour to me. My stomach wasn’t that great that day so we decided to eat somewhere else in the city and get something that was easy on my stomach. She was even so sweet to take me on a sunset hike a few days later and showed me a few places with great food! I highly recommend it!”
