Amazing, do it.
"Ascend was great. Super easy to work with. Booking process was so easy, all done from my phone. Communication was really good. Cost was great. The group was very experienced. Ended up just being solo coincidentally. Spoke with my guide, Ola, who was awesome. Super informative and friendly. It felt like we talked about everything under the sun. I took the 6 day Machame route and the weather was great despite being on our way into the rainy season. The cook, Max, and porters Amadeus, Tobias, Ismael, and Paolo were all very friendly. I ate with them for a couple of lunches but otherwise was eating in my tent. Amadeus was also the waitet and was really attentive and did everything he could to make the trip go well. Max's cooking was great. I was a little stunned to get fresh fruit and vegetables. Those guys work hard! Landscapes were awesome - from the cultivation zone to rainforest, moorland, Arctic desert, and Arctic zone - each had its own appeal. Really beautiful, to say the least. Overall, it was well organized, safe, friendly, and fun."
