    The driver was very kind to pick us up exactly were we had the accommodation. The drive took a hour and half to get to hell's kitchen. There we took an excursion with a guide of the organization. He was nice and quite knowledgeable about the place. Then we waited for the sunset there and it was wonderful. We recommend this tour even if it's a bit expensive.
