The tour was exactly as described.
The tour guide Irene was very friendly and gave us plenty of information.
We reached the park and we are able to take pictures easily.
The only reason I don't give 5 starts are the following:
1) the bus was too big to get up to the parking lot. It was a city traveling bus and not suited for that sort of road. The driver did his best but it felt a bit unsafe sometimes, because of the heavy shaking.

The female guide is downright rude. I had only slept 2 hours and had nearly started allergy medication. I’ve done many high altitude hikes all over the world without any issues. Due to 2 hours sleep because this company texted and woke me up at 11 pm. Could not sleep after they woke me up I had difficulty hiking. This guide I think her name was Andrea was absolutely rude. Refused to help me.
Rude selfish lady.
The hike was a waste of time as it was overcast. You can see the mountain better driving on the highway. This trip isn’t worth it. And if you’ve seen the Himalayas and other parts of the world there isn’t a wow factor.
