Traveler reviews
Paula J
★★★★★2 months agoAn amazing experience! I am scared of heights and there was nothing scary about it. I also have mobility issues but going at my own pace was no problem. We were lucky it was just the 2 of us and our brilliant guide José. He was friendly, knowledgeable and interested in what we said. I couldn't recommend this more highly.

★★★★★3 months agoFun activity climbing to the centre of the bridge span with a surprise treat at the top. Lovely river views. Doesn't seem to get as much publicity as it deserves
