Mt Toubkal 5* - Sahara 1*
The Mt Toubkal trek was one of the best things I’ve done and will be recommending it to everyone. Our group really gelled and we were well looked after. Our guide Mohammad was so attentive and made sure we all made it to the top and back down safely even when some of our group felt the altitude and suffered from bad altitude sickness. The food was really good too. It does require a good level of fitness and summit day is long but the views are so worth it.
Don’t do the Sahara part of the trip.
Myself and my friend were put in situations we shouldn’t have been put in on this part of the trip and did not enjoy it. The driver we had was unsafe and it’s long days of nothing but driving (which we knew going into it) but none of it felt authentic and we didn’t feel safe at all. That being said, when our concerns were raised Lahouceine, our head guide in Imlil, was excellent and did all he could to make sure our concerns were addressed. Him and Mustafa, his driver, went out of their way to pick us up early and it made a difference and they reassured us. They were excellent and made sure we didn’t finish our trip with a sour taste.

Fantastic experience. Extremely well organised and will definitely use Skyhook again. The accommodation at Imlil was very cosy and comfortable. The people were very friendly and welcoming. The guides were amazing. They were so in tune with the needs of the group and adapted the pace to suit the needs of everyone. They kept a close eye on us as we pushed for the summit and they really made it a very enjoyable experience.
Thank you.

Due to a postponement from a group, I ended up as the only guest on this tour, which wasn't ideal for me or the the organiser. However they didnt cut any corners and looked after me very well.
The accommodation for the first and third nights was very welcoming and for 1 person outstanding! Normally there would be 4 in my room with a shared ensuite. The food very good too, thanks Lahoucine for making an extra lunch when I came arrived earlier than expected on day 3. Delicious.
For the refuge on day 2, bring ear plugs and a blindfold and make sure nobody closes the window unless it is ridiculously cold! You won't sleep much and the downhill hike on day 2 is long and slippy.
Amazing landscape, so glad I did it. It isnt a walk in the park and some steepish up and down training would be recommended.

It was brilliant! Our guides (OA and Woo - no idea how they were spelt! 🤣) were fantastic. Food was memorable too - OA even dug out some bamboo worms for one of our party to try!!!! (He loved them!!) Very good communication in advance and during the trip. Highly recommend the Tuk Tuk Club.
Travelled on: Chiang Mai Tuk Tuk Adventure
Amazing, fantastic, would thoroughly recommend this trip! I suggested this trip to a few friends over a year ago as it was on my list of things to do, and after a little research settled on this one. After booking the flights I confess to having put no extra thought into it until the last minute, but I didn't need to as our guides took care of us all and ensured we had a blast. The guides are super nice guys who took on a bunch of 6 middle aged misfits from the UK and let us have fun. We loved every moment of this trip, from the initial training, to driving the tuk tuks, feeding the elephants, riding on the bamboo rafts, and more. Our accommodation was superb, with the second one overlooking beautiful rice fields, and all of the food was excellent, including the bugs they sourced for us!
Overall this was an amazing trip, we're sold on the beauty and friendliness of northern Thailand, as well as the Tuk Tuk Club who did an amazing job. If you go with these guys you're sure to have an excellent and fun holiday.

This was an amazing experience and very well organised and managed.
Our guide, Lucen, was great and looked after our group very professionally. He made sure we kept together and walked at a slow enough pace for all of us.
The food was also amazing and plenty for everyone.
The summit day was tough and I was feeling quite tired just before we reached the top. It was then a long hike back down to Imlil.
Luckily the weather was fine, not too cold, no wind or snow. I'd recommend good gloves, though, as my fingers got cold in the morning.
The refuge (the French one) was OK, with (scalding) hot showers and good food. Didn't get much sleep though!
All in all, I'd highly recommend this tour. I'm 70 years old: if I can do it, then you can too!

Booked a trip of 16 to climb Mt Toubkal in October 2025. It was genuinely one of the best (and hardest) experience of my life. We all said the same. As a group of oddballs everyone made it to the top. Ages ranged from 22 to 64, varying fitness levels and weight levels even me suffering treatment for prostate cancer. Skyhook and there in country reps and guides were brilliant from first contact to saying good bye. This trip is not for the faint hearted but if you can complete it will stay with you for life. Thanks again to Skyhook and crew.

What an incredible journey I had! Definitely the experience of a lifetime. Everything was very well organised from the beginning to my last day in Nepal. Local providers Freedom Adventures team did everything to make sure we all had best experience possible
Rosan Rai - our leader guide. Incredibly positive and a strong leader, he did absolutely everything to make sure we all feel Comfortable, Safe and Happy. Very knowledgeable about Himalayas, culture and wildlife as well. I will be always be grateful for your greatest leadership and for looking after me with all your kindness and love
Nabin Rai - assistant guide. Another incredible positive and always smiley personality. Will always remember your laugh, smiley face and beautiful singing. Thank you very much for looking after us so well, everyday 24 hours. I am sure you will be a great lead guide in your future
And last but not least, supporting staff - Santosh Xettri and Ashish Rai - our strongest Nepali BOYS, Didn't have a chance to know you better but will remember you as working incredibly hard but always positive and with smiles. We all know without you we wouldn't be able to make EBC trek possible. Will be always grateful for you for carrying those crazy heavy bags
Without a doubt Everest Base camp is an incredibly beautiful and breathtaking trek but leader Rosan Rai with his amazing team made this challenging trek an incredible Journey to us - I will be always grateful and will miss you always. Thank you!
As well big shout out to Himal from Freedom Adventures and Alison from Skyhook for all support before the trip. Thank you!

A once in a lifetime experience made possible by a group of seasoned team members-- Rosan, Nobin, Santosh. They prioritize safety for everyone in the group. The trek was a bit strenuous and difficult in some areas, but rest assured the local guides are always there to provide help, and pace at your speed (slowly, slowly). Definitely, recommend Skyhook for anyone wanting to successfully trek EBC.

What an amazing trip!
Rosan Rai, the lead guide was an amazing leader, his knowledge of the region, his commitment to safety and his commitment to making a great trip really stood out and was really appreciated! He’s also quite the good card player and kept us entertained with his magic tricks! Overall, couldn’t have asked for a better leader!
Nabin Rai, the assistant guide was a legend, he lead the pack, keeping us at a really good manageable pace, allowing us to reach base camp successfully without any problems! Nabins personality also shown through, he was able up for a laugh and was brilliant fun!
The Supporting staff Santosh xettri and Ashish rai were brilliant too. They carried our heavy bags with skill and were always punctual! They are a testament to the poster trade and I highly appreciate their hard work, dedication and friendliness throughout the trek!
Travelled on: Everest Base Camp Trek
I completed the trip in Oct 2025, The trip over all was amazing, the guides were great, thank you all so much for looking after us and the food from the cooks was amazing, never eaten so much on a hike like this. I loved meeting the rest of the guys on the trip and hopefully we will keep in touch. what a great bunch of people. The Hike up to the Base Camp was nice and steady, giving us plenty of time to talk and get to know each other, the Base camp it self was very busy but the guides sort everything out and keep us feed and watered well. The night before the walk was interesting, sharing a bunk room with about 30 people, we was up at 2:45 so it made it interesting to try and get ready quietly. my only moan about the whole trip was the ladders getting up to the top bunks, not great!. Set of for the summit at 3:15am, great to feel so close to the stars and kept company by the dog. its was great to be at the top in time for the sun rise, even thou it was very busy. then the descent, back to base camp for lunch and sort out kit for the mules, then the long walk back to Imlil, anyone doing this trip with just the 1 night stay at base camp be ready for a 12/14 hours summit day. But still wow, what great views and my first time for me above 4000m. the path from the summit to the Base Camp can be a bit slippery but the guides are great and help all the way. The trip was amazing and would definitely recommend using Skyhook as everything was sorted and the transfer even sorted out an extra taxi for me back to my Hotel. Thank you again to the Guides and skyhook for an amazing trip.

We were a group of 8 friends all in our 50s. We had the most incredible time with Lahoucen and his team. Our guides Lhcen and Lhcen were attentive, kind and encouraging. They paced us perfectly to ensure we all reached the summit giving extra support to those of us who needed it. We would thoroughly recommend this trip. You need to be reasonably fit and to remember to bring ear plugs for the refuge!

A place to certainly return too. Faultless from start to finish, a great mix of activities all well organised with great guides. Special mention to Alma, Zamo, Erind and Jimmy who made us feel so welcome and are very proud to show you there beautiful country. Berat is a beautiful place but for me the glamping pods where the icing on the cake , I would have loved more time there. It felt so special to go places that are still authentic. Would highly recommend, 5 stars

I cannot recommend this trek until Skyhook/Ashante Tours addresses life-threatening safety failures, poor equipment, and unacceptable catering.
Critical Failures & Safety Risks
Life-Threatening Safety Deficiencies: Our group was split into three on summit day, yet we were provided with only one oxygen cylinder and zero communication between guides. This led to a direct failure: a group member needed oxygen but could not receive it because the single cylinder was elsewhere. This level of risk is reckless and far below industry standards.
Unacceptable Food and Nutrition: The food was abysmal in both quality and quantity. For multiple days, portions were so small (estimated under 1000 kcal per day) we had to ration spoonfuls so everyone received something. Meals often consisted of basic pasta/vegetables cooked with low-quality sauce (ketchup). Breakfast was watery porridge and a fraction of an egg. The post-climb meal was also a disaster, running out before our entire group could eat.
Defective Equipment: All accommodation was damaged and leaking. Sleeping tents were patched with gaffer tape, had broken zips, and leaked profusely. The mess tent was also leaking and falling apart.
Positive Note
The porters and guides were universally excellent and worked tirelessly to support us despite the systemic failures of the equipment and provisioning provided by the tour company. Their effort was the only positive aspect of the trip.
Conclusion
It is unacceptable that these same critical issues were flagged in public reviews six months ago, and nothing has been done to improve safety or basic service. My entire group is submitting a formal complaint and requesting a partial refund. Do not book until Skyhook confirms demonstrable, verifiable improvements have been made to Ashante Tours’ operations.
Travelled on: Kilimanjaro Lemosho (8 Day Route)
Overall fantastic trip , hotel was good, guides and porters amazing , Tanzanian people so so welcoming
Criticism, tents were so dated and really need upgrading. Stand up tents at least in porch area of tent would be so much better
Travelled on: Kilimanjaro Lemosho (8 Day Route)
I have just returned from Kilimanjaro just over a week ago and I have to say I feel very let down by skyhook. I completed the 8 day lemosho route with 11 friends. Our guide company was Ahshante tours. Before I go on I just want to say how amazing the guides and porters were, they went above and beyond to help and look after us on our trek.
However, I found there to be many negatives on our experience:
1. The tents we stayed were very dated, for someone who has camped my whole life and is used to camping, I woke every morning feeling cold and damp. The zip on our tent kept breaking, as well as the toilet and mess tent!
2. Again for someone who is used to camping and has been on previous expeditions, I felt the food we were given was not enough for our party of 12 people. We had to ration our portions so that everyone had enough, also I feel we did not have enough calories given to us and for that I really did not have much energy on summit night. We were a group of 12 people all who had appetites and on such expeditions where we are climbing to over 5000m we need to be consuming a high amount of calories every day!
3. On summit night our group was split into 3, this to me I found very emotional as coming down I passed two members of my group who did not look well (these two members were split separately and both could have benefited from oxygen) and between these groups there was only 1 oxygen cyclinder!!! One was needed close to the summit and the oxygen cylinder was almost back as base camp by this point. Communication failed in this incident and we felt very let down with regards to safety at this point. I remember when I got back down to base camp I could not rest as I knew members of my group were still on the mountain.
I feel very let down here, for such a huge trip I expected my group to feel safe and looked after and not got through such emotional and traumatic stress when trying to complete such an achievement.
Once again I could never fault our guides and porters, they worked so hard and we ensured our group gave a generous tip at the end of the trek. My worry was that these amazing guides and porters would not even see half of the money.

Travelled on: Kilimanjaro Lemosho (8 Day Route)
Our Kilimanjaro climb was a frustrating mix of hard work by the local guides and porters, and poor organisation by Ashante Tours, the operator contracted by Skyhook. The porters and guides were incredible — they carried huge loads, kept camp running, and did their best to keep everyone motivated. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience didn’t live up to what we paid for.
The tents were old and often damp, food was repetitive and inadequate for the altitude, and the oxygen system wasn’t properly managed when needed — which felt unsafe. For the price (about $2,700 per person), it was upsetting to see how little of that money reached the team doing the real work.
Even with a generous tip pool of over $3,000 from our group, the porters received around $90 each — roughly the equivalent of a month’s Tanzanian wage — while the company clearly kept the majority. Skyhook should take responsibility for the conditions their subcontractors provide and ensure fair pay, safe equipment, and proper nutrition for climbers and crew alike.

I booked the 24-hour Three Peaks Challenge with Skyhook Adventures for last Friday. Unfortunately, I injured my back a few days before and couldn’t attend. I tried to contact them several times in advance—phoning on multiple occasions and sending an email—just to ask if I could change the date. I never got a response then, and I still haven’t had a reply now. Very disappointing communication and customer service. I’ll be booking with a different agency in the future. £475 was the price too. Did manage to contact the tour guide Simon himself and told him I couldn't attend.
Reply by Mountaineerin Ltd:
Hi AJ, Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re very sorry to hear about your injury just before the challenge.
We’ve checked our records and can confirm that we received your cancellation query on 24 September and responded to it within an hour. We’re very sorry if you missed that reply.
As your cancellation came only a couple of days before the trip, we weren’t able to offer a date change at that late stage. This is in line with our booking terms, which we do need to apply consistently to all guests.
We completely understand how disappointing it must have been to miss out after preparing for the challenge, and we do hope you’ll be able to rebook and take on the Three Peaks with us in the future when you’re feeling fit again.
Please feel free to reach out to us if you still have questions.
Kind regards,
The Skyhook Team

A proper adventure! DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THIS MOUNTAIN!! Every step and every meter is earned on Mount Toubkal.
The company was 1st class, friendly and very well run. The accommodation in Imlil was lovely and hosted by friendly staff.
The route to Base Camp was impressive, stunning views and challenging sections. Lots of places to stop for refreshments and supplies if required.
Base Camp.... it is what it is - that's all I'll say. It does the job. However you are rewarded with stunning views of our Milky Way Galaxy if you set your phone up properly. Absolutely stunning!!
The route to the Summit was paced correctly and we got to see the sun rise. An experience I'll forever be grateful for.
We as a group had some slight confusion over the way 'tips' are handled between the Mule Staff / Cooks and our Guide. The etiquette had to be explained to us as we only thought we had to tip our guide. I believe some friction was encountered between them. I have been assured that this was an internal political issue between the staff and nothing to do with how much we had given as a tip.
It would have been good to have had a proper introduction to ALL of the team who were joining us on the trek. It would have given us a chance to bond with the Muleteers / Cooks a little more.
The staff were brilliant and it was an excellent experience. Thank you.

Had an absolutely amazing time kayaking and camping in the fjords.

There was only two of us in our group, but that seemed to benefit us, we were able to get things done more efficiently, and felt very natural. We saw seals on the first day kayaking, and it's not something I'll forget. Would recommend 100%

She is a truly remarkable host and this is a trip I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit South Africa.

This was an unforgettable experience! The landscapes were breathtaking, and the itinerary was very well structured. Our guide, Javier, was truly excellent – flexible, experienced, very knowledgable and always attentive to the group’s needs. Accommodation and food were also great throughout the journey.
The only downside was the vehicle. Given the steep roads we had to cross, a proper 4x4 with stronger engine power is necessary for safety and comfort. I really hope the company improves this part of the experience, as everything else was top-notch.

We had an amazing trip, even though the weather meant some changes to our plans. Day 1 was too wet for hiking but Tom our guide was brilliant and we visited caves, a castle, a choc shop then natural thermal pools. On day 2 we finally got into the mountains, the scenery was stunning- the landscape reminded me of Canada. Day 3 more rain but Tom adapted & took us to a beautiful waterfall. This was still a great experience & Tom was always so helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The food & the rooms at the accommodation was excellent, even had a jacuzzi in the place! and our group was such a joy - so many laughs and great company!

The itinerary was very well organized, and every step in the trip was well executed, from airport pickup to the trekking days, wild camping, and the hotel/hut stays at the end of the trip. I ended up being the only person int he team, and I was very well taken care of by Motaz Zghoul. He is very informative about the region we trekked, from its ecological landscape to history. And his enthusiasm in sharing that knowledge about his country, made the trek and later the visit to Petra, all the more fun. Eid and his wife managed the wild camping very well, and Uday the local bedouin guide brought that very authentic touch to the whole experience. The trip was a great mix of sport/adventure, and historical/archeological sightseeing. And it has definitely left me with wanting to come back again, to see more of Jordan!

Travelled on: Tour du Mont Blanc Highlights
What an amazing adventure. I arrived in Kathmandu in the middle of civil unrest. The remainder of my trekking group flights were cancelled, so I was here alone. Freedom Adventures picked me up at the airport and we met for a pre trek discussion. As I was the only one now on the trek they arranged for their photographer to join me for company. What transpired was one of the best adventures I have had. My guide Kevin, and our photographer Ethan, and..... me.
We laughed, and chatted, and trekked our way up to Everest Base Camp. The cloud did not lift the entire way up, so views of the peaks was almost non existent. As the altitude increased, the trek definitely got more challenging. I underestimated just what an impact even 4000-5000m has on the body, but continued and made it to Base Camp.....well almost. Treks do not actually go to Base Camp anymore. They go to a rock pile and look down at Base Camp. A minor disappointment in an otherwise amazing trek.
The clouds cleared the next day and I was presented with the most incredible views for the next 4 days heading down.
Skyhook process was easy. Freedom Adventures, and their team was amazing. Highly recommend both companies, and I will certainly be trekking with them again.

We had an amazing trip and saw stunning, scenery of the Alpine peaks. Our guides Mark and then later Tom were fantastic. The routes were challenging but everyone in the group managed to do them. Highly recommend the tour. The food at the hostels could be better and don’t expect luxury but overall the experience was memorable and so rewarding. Definitely recommend it.

Amazing trip! The transport was efficient to and from the airport. The route had some amazing views - we trekked in mid-September where the route was quiet and the weather was still reasonably warm and not too cloudy. Would highly recommended to anyone who is reasonably fit and looking for a challenge. Shout out to Mark who was a great guide and very supportive throughout the trip!

This was my second kayaking/wild camping experience and it was excellent. So well organised with airport transfers, equipment and knowledgeable guides, it was great to just turn up and enjoy the adventure. As someone with severe food allergies, I felt very reassured that the food was allergen safe and diverse. The hike to Pulpit Rock on day 3 was great to break up was a fun addition to kayaking with stunning views down the Fjord. 4 days was the perfect amount of time to get in enough kayaking, camping and scenery. Would recommend!

First part of trip was amazing. Quite challenging but worth the hard work. Had a great group of people and the guides were brilliant and very supportive and knowledgeable.
Unfortunately the second part was not as enjoyable. lots of time in the minibus which was made clear at time of booking but guessed there may be more input from the guide. Also some of the places we were taken were just buffet lunches. One in particular was absolutely shocking. tables dirty, no cutlery to eat with and very few choices. The restaurant staff become very upset when we bought a bag in with crisps etc and demanded to see what was inside it.
I personally wouldn't do the Sahara part of the trip again however the Toubkal summit part was well worth the money and the experience will stay with me for a long time.

What a trip! We are 4 reasonably fit people in our late 50s and we loved every minute of this trip. From initial contact with Malduk, the team in Omis, right the way through the trip, the communication was excellent! The activities were well planned and exciting and
the scenery was incredible. Our
accomodation in the Old Town was gorgeous and our host, Marko, could not have been more attentive. Meals were arranged in a local restaurant where staff and food were perfect. We met people from all over and our particular group comprised of people of a similar age, looking for some adventure and to push our boundaries! Amazing experience?

Fantastic trip made even better by two amazing guides, Geoff and Chris, who were outstanding and made the entire experience so enjoyable. A great group of fellow adventurers, most of whom were travelling solo like me, but by the end, we felt like one big family. If you're unsure about doing it, I'd say absolutely go for it! You won’t regret it. As for the wild camping, the first time you wake up and open your tent to a misty loch view with mountains in the background, you'll be hooked. I’d definitely do something like this again.

I have had this trip on my bucket list for many years and I am so o pleased to tick it off and so pleased to have done it with a guided group. Geoff and Chris were knowledgeable and extraordinarily competent. They did everything they could to make sure that everyone had a great time. The equipment that we used for paddling and for camping was first class. This was a fantastic trip which will live long in the memory. Thank you. Shame you only have 5 stars. I would happily give you more.

This was a fabulous trek 👌!
Roberto was a brilliant guide.
The group was great fun with a good mix of genders, ages and nationalties / cultures.
The climbs and descents were quite challenging as described especially with our rugsacks but I enjoyed it.
The views were fantastic. The food and drink in the huts were good especially last one (Epee). The only negative was the lunches were dry sandwiches!
I would highly recommend it!
Thanks Michael

Roberto was a superstar! This is my fourth trip in the alps and he was by far the best guide I have been on tour with. He was knowledgable, cared a lot about safety but still made it fun. He was easy to get along with and I can't thank him enough for all he did. Hopefully I will get to hike with him again in the future.

This was an incredible experience, real, genuine challenge. I knew i had achieved something special at the end. The intense beauty of the scenary is breathtaking (so is the altitude). But the freshness of the air and surrounding fragrances lead to a zen like mental clarity. Roberto was excellent, professional, easy going and not without a keen sense of humour. He kept us safe and sane.. this is not the last time we meet him. Thanks all for a wonderful experience
Travelled on: Gran Paradiso Circuit Trek
Very poor value for money,feel robbed to be honest. I'll break it down as the itinerary should do- day one stay in a hostel in bled, you dont need a day one, this could easily be stay anywhere you want in bled and let the guides know where to pick you up for day one. Day two-guide picks you up drives you to a car park where you begin the hike, hike up an easy well marked out track that you dont need a guide for (as thousands of other people do). We got to the hut in about 4 hours, the guide was about 30 minutes behind us. It was about 12 in the afternoon, the guide wouldn't let you summit and threatenedto call the police if you do, sit around all day watching hundreds of other people summit and return, pay for your own food and drinks except an evening meal. Day 3 summit, takes about an hour from the hut but a lot longer when your tied together like dogs on a lead, embarrassing when everyone else is flying past you going their own pace. Come back down have a bit of scrambled egg and bread at the hut and hike back to the car. In short you dont need a guide if you've any experience at all hiking and scrambling, theres hundreds of people up there making their own way and a lot quicker and more enjoyably. It's 70 euro for the night in the hut and they rent out helmets and harnesses up there. Just book a flight,rent a car and come here alone you'll have a much better and cheaper time. Very poor value for money and ill never use skyhook again as a result.
Reply by Kofler Sport:
We’re really sorry to hear that this adventure didn’t meet your expectations. We completely understand that you would have preferred to move at your own pace, but it’s important for anyone considering this trip to know that it is very clearly sold as a 3-day guided group trek, with the summit planned for Day 3. This allows flexibility for changing mountain conditions and gives all group members the best chance of reaching the summit safely. In this case, the weather on Day 3 was fantastic, and the whole group summited.
The via ferrata section near the top of Triglav is a more technical alpine route, and following the guide’s procedures — including use of ropes — is not optional. This is the standard and safest practice on Triglav.
We’re sorry if the guide’s firm stance felt frustrating at the time, but their responsibility is to keep every member of the group safe. For this reason, it would not have been possible to allow you to head off solo while still part of the group and using the host company’s equipment.
We do appreciate your feedback, and we’d like to reassure future guests that the trip followed the advertised itinerary and standard safety practices throughout. From your comments, it seems there may have been a mismatch in expectations — this is a group trek designed for those without prior mountaineering experience, and so the approach and safety measures may feel restrictive to those seeking a more independent or faster-paced climb.
Travelled on: Summit Mt Triglav (2,863m)
Well organised and great trip for those seeking multi day walking activities. (definitely suggest you practice walking +500m ascents over 10k with back to back days as part of your training to get the most out of the trip) Good food in the huts but remember to bring your ear plugs and be prepared to sleep close to others. Great knowledgeable guide and spectacular scenery and views, very different to the alps.

A fantastic trip - very well organised, a super guide Ian (who kept us safe and happy, answered all our questions, always showing great patience and humour) and a really great group of fellow hikers. The scenery was marvellous. It’s a more difficult (and longer) trek than the Tour of Mont Blanc, in case this is helpful. In summary, 100% recommended.
Travelled on: Hut to Hut Hiking in the Pyrenees Mountains
A fabulous experience, hiking in some unbelievable scenery with a good group of people. Our guide (Ian - RiskoGuides) was great!
The terrain was rocky and steep in places, but nothing too difficult so long as you have a decent pair of boots and are reasonably fit. At the end of the week, my knees didn't hurt as much as I had expected. Make sure that you take hiking poles and know how to use them!
The food at the huts did the job! Plenty of it and we generally sat with the group to socialise at the end of the day.
In the huts, the showers and toilets were clean, but not always enough of them for the number of guests, so you may need to wait in line. The dormitory rooms were full, and light sleepers should take some kind of ear plugs as you don't know if you will be sharing with snorers.
Logistics for the trip were great. We met up in Barcelona before the taxi to Espot, which was a good way to meet up with the other participants, and the hotel and meal on the final day were a perfect end to the trip. All in all, a very enjoyable experience. Thanks.

What an experience. Vert Lodge accommodation was good and the Rocky Pop was a fantastic hotel. Guides for the mountains were excellent Ben and Paul.
Gran Paradiso did not disappoint. Great mountain to climb for first alpinist climb over 4,000 metres.
Mont Blanc is an experience I will never forget. Tough but what a climb. Loved it from start to finish.

Ben the leader from Alps Adventures were great and the hiking .. while quite demanding at times .. was really varied with interesting terrain and great views. The only down side was that the first two huts were a bit chaotic .. eg a late breakfast and cold showers. I’m coeliac (GF) and while the evening meals were spot on I really needed the bread and snacks I took, as two of the huts didn’t really cater well at breakfast and for packed lunches.
Travelled on: Matterhorn Highlights
Although I could not finish the trip,because of physical discomfort,the days I have spent within the team were splendid.
Ben and his wife Sandy were always checking if everybody was OK and offered their assistance/help in case needed.
Especially in my case Ben was so kind even to take my backpack in order for me to continue the hike to next hut.
So all in all ,very well organized.
Thanks all for this.

This trip was incredible, and one I’ll remember for life!
We were blessed with amazing weather, so we had beautifully still and serene fjords and lovely temperatures to be out in. We saw seals and porpoise within the first hour of being out on the water. The hike was beautiful and organised with good timing, as it was very crowded by the time we were on our way down.
Rasmus was a fantastic guide, he organised the group well yet had a very chilled and calm energy. He cooked awesome campsite meals as well :)
I was lucky to have a group of kind and likeminded people who I hope to see again in the future!
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this trip or Nordic Paddling/Skyhook :)

Completed the Pyrenees hut-to-hut hike in August with Ian as our guide (Risko Guides). The terrain can be challenging in parts, but it makes the hike extremely rewarding. Beautiful scenery and a great opportunity to switch off in nature. Thanks to Ian for his local knowledge and guidance on the hike. Met a lovely group of people to spend the week with and had great chats along the way. Highly recommend!
Travelled on: Hut to Hut Hiking in the Pyrenees Mountains
Hereby my great appreciation re. the recent 'Skyhook' booked 5 days /6 nights trek undertaken with 6 fellow hikers in the Spanish Pyrénées mountains, namely consisting in a large chunk of the so called 'Carros de Foc' hut to hut route in the Aïguestortes National Park of Catalunya, under the very able and responsible leadership of Ian, our headman from local 'Riskø Guides'.
Ian proved to be a great professional, and human, at all times, accompanying us from dusk to dawn across the wonderful landscapes and often challenging pathways, providing technical guidance, contextual knowledge, high group spirit and good humor, during the long day hikes, steep ascents to passes across stones and boulders, no less testing descents, as well as more gentle walks along an extraordinary succession of Estanys (lakes) and streams. Ian was always watchful and responsive to everyone's needs, and a great team builder.
Really enjoyed the warm atmosphere of huts where our guide helped us getting organized from crowded backpack storages to common meal tables, dorms and other available amenities.
Worth to mention the wonderful companionship developed among previously unrelated fellow hikers from varied walks of life and ages, that was undoubtedly one of the trip's highs, largely compensating the occasional hardships provoked by unstable and changing weather conditions.
Looking forward for other similar challenging, fun and adventurous experiences.

Travelled on: Summit Mt Triglav (2,863m)
An amazing experience on Mount Triglav! The final 350m technical climb to the summit was fantastic, and our guide Igor Kremser made everything feel safe and well-organised. We started at 980m and hiked to Triglavski hut in Kredarica which took us 5.5hours to reach 2,515m. We rested 1.5hrs and then continued with technical climb to the summit 2,864m which we reached in 1hr 45mins. We descended the next morning and took us 3.5 hours. The food at the Triglavski hut could be better. Be prepared with good stamina — it’s demanding but so worth it!
Travelled on: Summit Mt Triglav (2,863m)
The Kayaking and hike were amazing and I would give both experiences 5 stars.
The only downfall were a few issues. During the booking process we were told throughout to pack 4 to 4 15/20kg dry bags to accommodate our belongings. When we arrived at the cabin we were told that were were only allowed to take 1 dry bag each with our belongings. This was nowhere near enough space to bring the required list of belongings that we were advised to bring, which meant most of us only had the clothes we had on for the duration of the camping.
We were also informed that we had to pack up everything for the campsite in our kayaks ( probably why we told we had to down size our own belongings) this put quite a lot of added weight to the kayak.
I think a loyalty if our group assumed that the campsite would already have been set up for our arrival, it isn't so be prepared to pitch your own tents and go and find wood suitable for the fire which also needs to be lit by you. There wasn't much substantial bits of wood to last the whole weekend so we had to improvise and source wood elsewhere. I do think that the wood for the fire should be one of the things that is provided, as there are many factors that may prevent future campers being able to keep themselves warm.
The food provided at the camp was good, but there just wasn't enough to keep the hunger away. You will be provided the ingredients to make your breakfast and lunch sandwiches which will contain the same ingredients each day. We all chipped in to help prepare and cook the meals and also the washing up, so if you are expecting to have your meals served to you whilst you relax after the kayaking or hiking then think again.
The hike up.to Pulpit Rock is absolutely stunning and was the highlight of our trip.
We had a fantastic group of people in our camp which helped massively with high spirits.
If I were to suggest a few changes for the company it would be to maybe have the camp set up, more food and basic rations and that the guides maybe take on more of a role at providing a service, as we dis think towards the end that we paid for a self service trip, which left alot of us baffled.
When leaving the camp there is no option for a shower before being dropped off at the airport for your flight home, this is something that could be added to the end of the trip seeing the HQ was within walking distance to the camp and an outdoor shower facility could maybe be looked into.
The views and surrounding areas were breath taking and it was 100% and experience that allows you to switch off from the daily stresses of life.
My feedback is not to take away from.the experience because like I said I had an amazing group.of people and we laughed from start to finish and have definatley made friends to stay in contact with. I just wanted to highlight the areas we weren't prepared for so other can.prepare properly.
Reply by Nordic Paddling:
Hi Mairead,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re really pleased to hear that you enjoyed both the kayaking and the hike — and especially that Pulpit Rock was a highlight. At the same time, we’re very sorry to hear about the frustrations you experienced along the way.
I’ve spoken with the guide from your trip, and it seems there were a few miscommunications that caused confusion. In particular, around the dry bags — the intention was that each guest could bring one IKEA-sized bag (which fits several dry bags inside), but this wasn’t clearly explained at the time. That’s absolutely on us to communicate better, and we’ve already spoken to our team about ensuring this is made clear during the pre-trip briefing.
On the food side, we’re sorry that you felt it wasn’t quite enough or that expectations weren't met, we are reviewing the catering plan to make sure nothing was overlooked. These expeditions are designed to be self-supported wilderness experiences, where guests can help with camp life — like preparing meals and gathering firewood — but we also want this to feel enjoyable and not like a chore. In this case, it seems the balance wasn’t quite right, and we’ve shared your feedback with the guide so that they can set clearer expectations and create more of the “team spirit” we usually see on these trips.
Your suggestions are very valuable, and we’ll be reviewing how we can build these into future departures. Regarding your point about showers — unfortunately there are no facilities at the site itself, and the only nearby showers are at the guide’s private accommodations, which understandably cannot be made available to guests. We’ll explore whether there are any alternatives we can recommend for future groups before onward travel.
We’re glad that despite the challenges, you still found the trip memorable and rewarding, and that the group dynamic made it special. Our aim is for every guest to leave feeling they’ve had both an adventure and the right level of support, and your feedback will help us continue to improve.

I feel so lucky to have shared this journey with such a lovely group of people — professional, warm, and genuinely friendly. Although we had just met, it felt like we’d known each other for ages. The camaraderie, the shared laughs, and the uplifting spirit of the group made the adventure even more special.

This is a great trip, I have wanted to do the national 3 peaks for 40 years, from when I was old enough to know about mountains.
However it does go against my belief to treat mountains with respect, but our trip had amazing weather views and sunsets and sunrises as advertised. It is definitely a challenge and the guide had to make tough decisions on every mountain, to keep the challenge on target and the group manageable.

Booked through Skyhook but the operator was Nordic Paddling - not clear on booking.
Skyhook were superb in keeping in touch throughout the process after confirming our booking and up to departure. Detail was really good.
The immediate problem was that the experience was not as we expected and the package was a lot more basic than we had envisaged.
Nordic Paddlers provided an exceptional instructor / leader who could not be criticised but the whole trip was poorly resourced. Pickup from arrival good. First night accommodation appalling - damp and cold cabin - no attempt to make the initial impression comfortable, unwashed linen on beds, poor food.
Expedition Kit provided was damp from previous users and there were limited numbers of sizes - my kit didn’t fit me as I got what was left in the shake out. Really bad start.
On trip - campsite very basic - we had to establish camp and de camp totally - no shelter provided until we established it - no wood for fire on site. Food really poor in quality and volume throughout the trip - felt sorry for the two young guys who were hungry all the time. Tents were very good.
The location was enjoyable. Future guests need to know that this is not easy Kayakking - the Fjord is wide, busy with traffic and the weather is strong. Not for those who are not physically fairly strong.
Some of our group really enjoyed the experience but the majority were unhappy overall -this was clear during discussion at various stages of the trip. Nordic Paddlers really need to up their game and I find it hard to trust Skyhook again if this is the level they partner with.
Reply by Nordic Paddling:
Hi Ken,
Thank you for taking the time to provide this detailed feedback. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience, as it gives us valuable insight into areas where we can improve. I am very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, and I want to apologise for the issues you encountered.
We take all guest feedback seriously, and I have already shared your comments with our team. We've taken note of your points regarding the cabin, the condition of the gear, and the camp setup. This is not the standard we aim for, and we will be reviewing our procedures to ensure our equipment is dry and ready for each trip, and that our campsites are as welcoming as possible, especially in less-than-ideal weather.
Regarding the logistics of the trip, such as carrying your own gear and food, we understand this can be challenging. Our trips are designed to be self-supported expeditions where guests carry their own essentials, which is a core part of the authentic wilderness experience we aim to provide. We will, however, review our trip descriptions to ensure this is communicated more clearly during the booking process so that guests know exactly what to expect.
We also appreciate your feedback on the group's dynamic. It's a fine balance to manage different paces and expectations within a group, and we will use your comments to help our guides better navigate these situations in the future. I'm glad to hear that you liked Rebecka, and I can assure you that we will work with her to further develop her skills in this area.
Thank you again for your honesty. We hope you'll consider joining us on another adventure in the future, giving us the opportunity to provide you with the exceptional experience we are known for.

Excellent service from the Atlas Vertical guiding team in Imlil. We booked a private trek and they arranged all of our transfers to and from Imlil, which all ran very smoothly.
Our guide Hassan was very good and even took over when our son had a nosebleed on the walk up to the refuge. The food prepared by the cook/ mule driver was amazing, and there was always far too much for us to finish.
The hotel staff where we stayed in Imlil were very friendly. One small negative point was the first hotel we stayed in, which was very noisy (not really what you need just before a trek), but the accommodation we stayed in after the hotel made up for this.

Just returned from a memorable trip, this was my second time and it didn’t disappoint. Met some great people who all bonded straight away, we had one bad day of weather but it was mostly sunny. Geoff and Marty were superb guides and explained everything so well and their cooking and good natured banter kept us all in good spirits. This trip is hard work at times and not a walk in the park but anyone who signs up will for sure have a wonderful experience.

This was a brilliant 4-day trek with great scenery and views of the mountains. I met a great group of people & it was an enjoyable experience staying in the mountain refuges. The trek was challenging during some of the climbs, but our guide Min supported each of the group and was knowledgeable about the area throughout the trip.

A fantastic trip made even better by our brilliant guide, Min. The walk was challenging at times but Min kept everyone's spirits high and looked after the group. The trip description is accurate and our group was fully supported throughout the trip. Top tip, pack as light as you possibly can to make the walk (especially the steep climbs) more comfortable. Would recommend this trip and if you're lucky enough to have Min as your guide then you're in for a brilliant adventure.

This was a really great trip, well organised and some tremendous scenery to explore.
Our group gelled really well but a lot of this was down to the trip leader Min, who was a really great guide. She was interesting, informative and was able to bring the group together. A credit to the company.
A super trip that I’d recommend! There were some challenging climbs so you do need to be prepared!

I loved this adventure in every way possible. The scenery, the hut experience, the food, the challenge of the hikes and the friends you make along the trail all made this a lifetime highlight! Mark, our guide, was a total star, making sure we were well looked after and got the most out of the time. The tour itself is physically challenging but in the best way possible - you feel like you push yourself but want to get up the next day and do it all again, I’m about to fly home with heavy legs but a happy heart! Thank you Skyhook team!

My 16 year old son and I have just returned from this weekend an are still raving about it. We got to experience paddleboarding, canoeing, gorge walking abseiling and an activity that is 'the most fun that you can have in the Lake District'. It was! Great companionship forged from shared experiences, a lovely campsite and, in Chucky, one of the most enthusiastic, knowledgeable and effervescent guides that you could hope for. We've had two fantastic experiences with Good2Go Adventures (having also canoed the Great Glen Canoe Trail last summer) and aim to return for more and, almost certainly, a repeat of this weekend.

I had a superb time on this trip and would absolutely recommend it. Our guide Noah was fantastic- friendly, kind, helpful, knowledgeable and fun. The kayaking was wonderful and the fjords are so beautiful. The camping was brilliant- it was such an experience to wake up right next to the water. The group was lovely and felt like a real community - as a solo traveller I made lovely friends. I would definitely recommend going for a swim in the fjord too!

Just got back from doing the Machame Route with Ahsante. Was absolutely amazing and we could not have asked for a better experience. Our lead guide Sebastian and assistant guide Calvin were brilliant and we will be forever grateful to them and the whole team (you all were amazing) for getting us all to the summit. There were often times were we thought we could not go on but they were great at encouraging us and getting us there. Thank you all again. Was great from the moment we were collected from the airport to the moment we were dropped off.

Our Canoe Across Scotland trip was planned as an adventure holiday, an excursion to push us out of our comfort zone and do something that perhaps the traditional tourist might not attempt. But it turned into so much more than that.
Picturesque views, a thrilling journey and exciting wild camping was made possible by Good2Go Adventures but especially Geoff Potts, our guide. He was unbelievably experienced, knowledgeable, kind, funny and patient. And just a generally all-round good guy. We felt supported at all times, but had the freedom to experience for ourselves. It felt like our adventure. He kept us safe (even in an amber weather warning!) and included us in decision making where possible to make sure we got to the finish line. And I will never forget the taste of his food after a long day paddling. I would do this trip again in a heartbeat, but I think we’d have to insist on Geoff.
Also, a huge shout-out and thank you to Mac, our second guide. Another outdoor expert, good egg and gentleman. He made our trip with his help, his storm shelter and his funny stories.
Thank you both for the journey of a lifetime. It’s now firmly been cemented as a Core Memory and an adventure I will never forget. Can we go for round two?

What can i say? Miro, oh Miro! What a fantastic person to have as a guide. Always smiling, always calm, always extremely pleasant company. Happy to share his wonderfully colourful life stories.
A real living hero. An ultra trail runner in his spare time. He is living his own dream. Doing what he wants, doing what he is best at.
A man born in the mountains, raised in the mountains, built by the mountains, at one with the mountains. The one person you need with you in the mountains.
His knowledge and strength provide all the reassurance you will ever need.
It was an honour to have shared an unforgettable experience with such a wonderful human being.

The guide left us in Triente and told us to make our own way back to Chamonix. We had no map and had to ask other guides to help us. Our guide was rude, unprofessional and drunk two out of the three nights we were on the tour. The walk and views were amazing but the accommodation on the second night was dire and I would not recommend this trip with Alp Adventures
Travelled on: Tour du Mont Blanc Highlights
It was definitely a weekend I will never forget, our guides Stuart and Tobias were amazing! Whilst Stuart was up ahead with all the regular kayakers, Tobias made sure that those at the back lagging like me a first timer, were good and safe. He never rushed us or tried to make us feel bad about catching up. I really appreciated it! They were both great fun and had lots of knowledge of the area, I felt very safe with the both of them and thoroughly enjoyed the kayaking! The campsite was great, clean with nice hot showers, a tea and coffee room with marshmallows for the fire. There's a little bridge to walk over and a field to get to town (we stumbled upon some cows, a little shetland pony and a billy goat). The steam train can be seen from camp and the glorious Corfe castle was visible too. The stars at night and sunrises were amazing, and was well worth getting up for. The salt pig cafe was delicious, I'm gluten free and my breakfast/lunch was absolutely lovely. I wasn't hungry at all throughout the day. The group we had were great fun too! I would definitely book again everything across the board was brilliant. Thank you boys!

I recently hiked with Alps Adventures on the Matterhorn highlights trip! Over the four days we had great fun with a fab group of people. Our guide Tom G was excellent, he was a fab guide sharing his knowledge well with our group pointing out lots of interesting facts about the mountains, environment and wildlife. The pace of our group was well balanced and we enjoyed every hike. The huts were lovely and the food tasty. The Matterhorn decided to hide for the first part of our hike but when it emerged we were treated to a beautiful a clear view and some stunning reflections on the lake. We were always given ample time and opportunities for photos. I'd recommend this hike to anyone wishing to enjoy the beautiful Swiss mountains.
Travelled on: Matterhorn Highlights
I was inspired to do this trip as it was my grandmother‘s winter playground, she was born in Bern and she was fortunate enough to have skied in Zermatt every winter.
I have always had a love of mountains, but I have never experienced an overnight backpacking hike in the mountains and sharing a dorm hut with people I did not know. I wanted this kind of experience at least once in my lifetime, hence the reason I chose the Matterhorn 4 day 3 night hike as it was a great combination of everything I wanted to experience. I was travelling solo and could not have wished for a better tour guide than Tom Goldstein and the wonderful group of other hikers who soon became like long lost friends, we all gelled instantly and we were all there for each other. Tom was such a caring observant guide who helped when help was needed, subtly guiding those with fears along the way, and helping them to overcome their fears of certain points ie the suspension bridge or a fear of narrow pathways at height. Because of his quiet and calm manner of dealing with these issues instead of hikers feeling fear he filled them with a great sense of achievement and pride, that is not a skill learnt but a natural ability of his. I have none of these fears but found it admirable to observe how he looked after everybody.
The whole of this trip was a learning curve for me which I will treasure always, thanks to my wonderful companions and guide. Making new ‘like-minded’ friends, swimming in the ice-cold but exhilarating mountain lakes, I absolutely loved that experience, and having the most magnificent views of the wondrous Matterhorn in all if its natural glory and glowing like a beacon at its very best. Memories I will carry for my lifetime. Thank you. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat I definitely would.

Christel made this trip fun and memorable, by sharing with us her experience on the mountain and setting a good pace.
She tried her best to get us the best food available at each accommodation despite limited options. The accommodation itself could have been better (especially the cold showers). Perhaps a version of this trip with better accommodation but not necessarily 5 star hotels would be a good mid point in terms of price and quality that people would pay for.

It was a very enjoyable trip, and overall a good experience however there were some points that could be improved. It is important that the equipment should be checked prior to issue and is in good working order, my helmet was broken and used duck tape to hold it in place, which did not work and only noticed when used. I recommend bringing your own equipment for your own security, I wish I had taken my own. Also when a member of the group decided not to continue the hike as was feeling unwell, he was expected to walk himself back to the refuge which did not seem right and was only when the group said they didn’t feel comfortable with him going alone a guide then went with him.
The route was great and the scramble was good fun, was a shame there was not much information about the history of Mt Olympus and feel this would add a lot to the experience.
I think there are lots of other companies that supply this trip and feel others may tip this one with the points raised, but still had a very enjoyable time despite some of the things mentioned above.

I have just completed the Tour du Mont Blanc four day hike with Alps Adventures (via Skyhook).
This was my first guided hike as I am usually solo up the mountains/long hikes so I was concerned in the lead-up to the trip that I may hold everyone up (I was one of the oldest, not used to hot weather/high altitude plus I am very slow on descents due to dodgy eye).
However, due to the vast knowledge and support from our guide, Grigor Wallace, I got through it! Without making me feel like a hindrance, he ensured that I did not feel rushed on some tricky areas and was always offering his hand if he felt I may need it. His passion for what he does is palpable and he is an asset to Alps Adventures.
We were in safe hands with a good driver!
The tour is very well organised and Grigor would regularly update us with weather alerts, the route, terrain and gradient as well as share his knowledge about the Alps, its history/famous climbers, the flora and local delicacies. Great sense of humour too!
The refuges were comfortable and welcoming but do not expect hot water if arriving late to a couple of them. A small sacrifice for an adventure though.
I enjoyed all of the food and you did not go to bed hungry. One of our team was gluten free and I noticed that each refuge accommodated this no problem.
We experienced all weathers ranging from intense heat to freezing rain and gales so do listen to the advice and ensure that you are prepared for rapidly changing conditions.
It is an intense four days and, for me, challenging, but with a good guide, a great group of fellow hikers (some of whom will now be friends for life), spectacular views which literally take your breath away, I would say it was the best adventure I have ever had.
Thank you so very much to Alps Adventures and to Grigor Wallace – and thank you to Skyhook for popping up on my Facebook page last October and planting the Mont Blanc seed!
Go book it – you won’t regret it!

We have just finished a great trip up Mt Kenya with Savage Wilderness through Skyhooks. Our guide John was great, helping us make it through and giving us lots of background about the area too. The porters were great too - really friendly, and always smiling. We packed some snacks, but never touched them as the chef's food was really good and plentiful. One thing I would advise anyone taking this trip is to spend the night before in Nairobi (altitude 1600m) to help with acclimatisation, because the altitude change on the trip is rapid.

A fabulous few days canoeing with a small group, just four of us plus our guide, Robbo. The first two days were amazing, we had beautiful weather and wonderful views. Paddling up Loch Ness with a strong head wind was challenging and we all had to work very hard. The wild campsites were great and I swam in every location. Robbo made sure we were all fed and watered with delicious food and a great selection of snacks.
I’d recommend this trip for folk who are physically fit - it’s not for beginners, unless the weather is guaranteed to be calm.

I thoroughly enjoyed the trip with Skyhook. The guide took good care of us, teaching us how to handle the boats and making sure we had good meals. I had never paddled in a canoe before but had experience of endurance sport which definitely helped. I recommend this trip to all who love activities in good company out in nature. Now that I have had a taste of this I will be doing another canoe trip with Skyhook.
