Most Inspirational Moment
Kyoto, the ninja temple in Kanazawa, the Onsens, tips for food from guide, having breakfast looking at Mount Fuji, the kimono museum.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Taka was great! Setting up a WhatsApp group at the start of the trip, keeping in touch with me when I was delayed, recommending places to eat, joining the group for meals etc, good humoured, tailored suggestions to group members eg she knew I would love Don Quixote???? A strong 10 out of 10!
I very much enjoyed the trip. The scenery was fantastic as well as the weather (most days). I really enjoyed the camaraderie which developed within the group over the two weeks and the camping was well organised with good meals and good fun. Our group leader was exceptional.
Most Inspirational Moment
Ascending numerous passes - particularly Col Feret with its amazing views.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Tim was fantastic - really knowledgeable. He managed a group of wide ranging walking abilities very well and had great knowledge of the local flora and fauna. His photographs shared with the group were very much appreciated. Albert, the camp manager was equally fantastic - an excellent cook and always very friendly and helpful.
Advice for Potential Travellers
This is a really rewarding experience but it can be very challenging (regular 1000m ascents/descents and walking up to 8 hours per day). You need to test yourself with some back-to-back days of big climb walking before embarking on this trip.
This is one of a kind trip which combines physical challenges, wild camping and the opportunity to understand the unique lifestyle of this amazing country. Although I have travelled extensively around the world, this trip has shown that there is so much more to explore out there. I have not done wild camping previously but I enjoyed the experience so much. Biking was at time challenging but also very rewarding. The scenery and the serenity of the landscape made us feel like we were living in biblical times. The team is outstanding, fun and able to deal with any unforeseen circumstances.
Most Inspirational Moment
One evening, 3 kids came on a motor bike to offer us curd. The entire group was moved beyond words.
Thoughts on Group Leader
One word - outstanding. Bata understand both western and Mongolian cultures and has a unique ability to manage what it is a fairly complex to organize trip.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Don't miss the opportunity to be part of this adventure before the country will eventually change.
Returned last week from this amazing trek with a wonderful group of people. The scenery was spectacular and was so healing to be surrounded by nature and beautiful views.

Severio was a wonderful tour guide. Every experience far exceeded our expectations. Very helpful staff. We loved it!
Most Inspirational Moment
We loved Ravello and Capri. Also appreciated different modes of transportation (boat, van, open air bus)
Thoughts on Group Leader
Severio was amazing! So full of knowledge and had a wonderful way of connecting with each and every group member. From my nephew who had just turned 18 to the eldest members who were retired, Severio used his humor and personal stories to create relationships with all.
Loved the whole trip, the hikes were amazing, people were lovely.
Most Inspirational Moment
The hikes were all amazing, if I had to choose one it would be the gondola and the lake hike.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Chris was fantastic, great sense of humour, set the hikes at right pace, timed water breaks. Joined us for dinner and really helped the group to bond. Great knowledge of the area and talked about his own experiences which was very interesting. Helped get the World Cup on the TV, came out for a birthday drink. Happily answered all our questions
Had a great experience seeing the highlights of Mont Blanc. Accommodations exceeded my expectations, the hosts went above & beyond. Our guide Chris was knowledgeable and was accommodating to all hikers abilities. We had a great week learned so much about the region and will be recommending to friends & family.
Most Inspirational Moment
Accommodations were wonderful and itinerary was well thought out and accommodating to everyone’s ability

Thoughts on Group Leader
Ab was an amazing guide who was always there and ready to help. His English was very clear and exceptional meaning I was able to understand the entire trip very easily. He was always eager to answer any questions from the group with expert knowledge and was a pleasure to enjoy a week with!
Memorable experience, smooth operation and fantastic guide.
Most Inspirational Moment
The beauty of Madeira, was captured in the 8 day itinerary wonderfully. The best hike was Day 2 Walk to Ponta de Sao Lourenco and Day 3 coastal walk to Porto da Cruz.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Bruno was PERFECT. At the very first day, he set the right tone which was to enjoy the journey, and admire the surrounding views, in a relaxed pace. Bruno allowed everyone to hike at their own comfortable level while always keeping a close eye on the group. He moved from front to back ensuring all were safe and chatted with each person. Besides lunch stop, there were plenty of breaks where we could rest, and admire lovely views. It all felt very unhurried.
