It consisted of 5 separate zips with each a bit longer and higher than the previous one. Some were thru the trees and others over canton areas and water. I guess the site was a former limestone quarry now inactive and the "canyons" were created by digging out the rock. All necessary equipment is provided, including helmets, harnesses, and leather gloves. The guides who accompany each group were well informed and safety conscious. Everyone's harness is checked before each run. The full tour consist of 9 separate runs.
Overall I'd give it two thumbs up.
Thanks for the info.
We will probably try the express tour.
