"This is the company to go with! I have toured with Golden Mountain Guides since October 2016 and have now been on a total of 6 trips with them. On these kinds of adventures, it's always important to feel confident that your guide knows what they are doing and that their knowledge will not only teach you things, but keep you safe. Can't wait for my next adventure!"
