Why to walk with a guide? Walking with a local guide has many advantages than walking on your own, such as:
• You will see places that you would never find on your own. Many paths are difficult to find and not shown on maps or described in guide books

• Nice atmosphere of the group. Often at the end of the walk you eat and drink something altogether.
