The tour was good, few more people than we expected, the knowledge was excellent, and answered all my strange questions. The early morning tour meant the staff were still getting ready, so knowing where to go needed asking, but staff were friendly and happy to answer.

The cost was 8EU more than my friends booked. The staff at the venue were difficult when a QR code didn't work for our friends.

The mountain itself and the surroundings are wonderful. Unfortunately, the cable car didn't work, which meant we had to queue for over 2 hours. The extra €8 we paid per person didn't help at all and was completely unnecessary as we didn't get anything in return. First everyone was taken up by bus, then only the cable car ran. At the top we would have had to pay again to get further. None of this was clear when we booked. We didn't even see the information stand. Too bad about the €32 we paid too much. A cable car ticket alone would have been enough.
