Guide Alex was incredible, followed his instructions and everything went perfectly! Great views of the Matterhorn and we pulled some tricks when it was time to land. Unforgettable experience!! Also, shoutout to the person running their WhatsApp, answered my logistics questions with the warmer weather and meeting point promptly!”
