Highly recommend this trip. Four amazing days trekking with excellent views and company. Accommodation and food was spot on. Strenuous trek but if your fit enough, then it’s perfect. A massive thank you to our guide, Roberto who is a great guy and guide. Looking for the next adventure through skyhook 😀

Great trip, Great group, Great guide, many thanks Roberto!
Amazing to summit at 3,335mtrs, look forward to the next trip.
Waterfalls and lakes were amazing, views and weather outstanding! Not for the faint hearted, or unfit, by the way!
As for the accommodation got better each day (basic, but good, clean, and welcoming)

HI All,
This was an epic trip. Charles was great, very insightful across the tour and with his meditation values touched a lot of the participants on the tour. there was one instance where Charles deflected away from the planned route without everyone's agreement, which i feel should not happened. Apart from that perfect. The group itself, go on really well and helped each other out across the difficult periods.
Overall very happy and glad to give a 5 star review.
Great tour

Very informative and always happy to answer any questions. Great places to stay and eat! Make sure you ask for the tiramisu on the last lunch 🙌 thanks you for an awesome experience looking forward to choosing my next trip!

Fabulous trip! The scenery was stunning and Elisabetta was a great guide, making sure we all had a great time. The last hut was great with substantial food portions. Would recommend training before as the treks were tough but made the beer at the end of each day well deserved! Plenty of opportunities for wild swimming too!

An incredible adventure with a lovely group and thanks to our amazing guide – Elisabetta! The trip was well organised with the right amount of flexibilty. The trails weren't crowded, the views were absolutely stunning, and every day brought something special. The mountain huts were cozy, the food was great (the ice cream up there was very delicious), and the weather was kind to us too. Grateful for such a memorable experience!
Travelled on: Monte Rosa Hut to Hut Adventure
This was my first hut-to-hut hike and I had such a wonderful experience! The trip was really well-organised, thanks to our amazing guide Elisabetta — super knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. The views were incredible: glaciers, mountains, and that classic Alpine scenery.
The hike definitely isn’t easy, so I’d recommend doing some training and bringing (sweet) snacks to keep your energy up. But it’s 100% worth it — you’ll be rewarded with views that leave you in awe and feeling like it’s all a little surreal, just like I did!

Travelled on: Tour du Mont Blanc Highlights
Our Kilimanjaro trek was an unforgettable experience, made truly special by the incredible team that supported us every step of the way. The porters were absolutely amazing, always smiling, full of energy, and incredibly hardworking. They were the heart of the trek, and we were constantly impressed by how quickly they responded to any issues we had. Whether it was fixing broken zips, helping with bags, or just offering encouragement, they were always there. The guides Abdullah, Innocent 1, Innocent 2, and Donald were equally outstanding. Their leadership, knowledge, and support were key to our success, especially during summit night. Without them and the summit night porters, we wouldn’t have made it to the top. The camp manager also deserves a huge thank you, he worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure camp was always set up before we arrived, no matter how tough the day had been. It was honestly a mystery how they managed it so efficiently every single time. The waiter was also fantastic, he boiled water for us whenever we needed it, even though it clearly wasn’t an easy task at altitude and in those conditions.
That said, there are a few areas where the experience could be improved. Some trekkers didn’t receive the airport transfers that were clearly advertised on the website, and one person who tried to arrange theirs was ignored, which led to them having to pay out of pocket. The tents, especially the communal and sleeping tents, were quite worn out, zips frequently broke, and while the porters and camp manager were quick to fix them, it’s clear they’re working with equipment that needs replacing. During one misty night, the communal tent became damp within minutes, which made us question how the tents would hold up in even light rain, we were lucky not to have much. The food was so tasty, but there were times when there simply wasn’t enough, and many of us had to rely on our own snacks. Vegetarians were occasionally left without a proper protein source when only chicken was served. We were also charged $160 per toilet (x2) instead of the advertised $150, and only after someone raised the issue were we refunded $20.
The tipping process was confusing and rushed, we were told before the trip that the recommended tipping range was $200–$350, but once we arrived, we were told it was $250–$450, which caused confusion and stress. On top of that, the tipping guide was only shown to us after the trek, when we were tired and back at the hotel. It would have been much better to receive this information at the start so we could plan accordingly and understand how tips were distributed. On the final day, we stopped for lunch, but the porters had to wait outside while we ate, which didn’t feel right. If there’s an option for them to join us or eat nearby, it would be good to know in advance so we can make a more inclusive choice.
Overall, the trek was an incredible experience thanks to the amazing team on the ground. However, the company should consider investing in better equipment, improving communication, and updating the information on the Skyhook website to reflect the actual experience. For the price paid, we expected more reliable gear, consistent food portions, and clearer organisation. With a few changes, this could easily go from a great trip to a perfect one.

Hi Shaista, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us — both the highlights and the areas where things could be improved.
We're so glad to hear that your Kilimanjaro trek was such a memorable adventure. The mountain team are truly the heart of the operation and we're glad to hear that the warmth, energy, and dedication of the guides and porters made such a lasting impression.
We also appreciate your thoughtful suggestions on where improvements are needed. There are some important points there and we take this feedback very seriously.
We are actively looking into some of these issues raised, as they do not meet our general standards of operation. Please rest assured that we are working to address these concerns. This includes updating equipment, improving the clarity of pre-trip information (particularly around tipping, airport transfers, and optional extras), and refining the food logistics.
We're also working to ensure that tipping procedures are communicated clearly and handled more thoughtfully as part of the team’s ongoing KPAP (Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project) assessment.
Your feedback has been invaluable in helping us identify areas for meaningful improvement. Our goal is always to ensure that the incredible work of our on-the-ground teams is matched by smooth logistics and clear communication throughout.
Thanks again for your candid review and congratulations on reaching the summit — an incredible achievement!

An amazing adventure. This is an extremely challenging event. Don't book unless you are prepared to train for it. We did and struggled but enjoyed the experience and fortunately did manage to summit Snowden within 24hr hours. Others on our trip unfortunately didn't manage to finish all 3 mountains. Definitely recommend it.

A fantastic four-day trek – highlights of the Tour du Mont Blanc
We’ve just completed this incredible 4 day trek, covering some of the absolute highlights of the Tour du Mont Blanc, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. I did the trek with my husband and our 16-year-old son, and it was an unforgettable experience for all of us.
What made it truly special was the amazing group of people we shared the adventure with – a great mix of personalities, all positive, supportive, and fun to be around.
The trek was brilliantly led by our International Mountain Leader, Grigor. Each day was thoughtfully planned and expertly guided. Grigor took the time to explain the route in detail, kept us safe throughout, and shared fascinating information about the environment, weather, and the history of the stunning places we passed through.
He was an outstanding guide – calm, knowledgeable, and incredibly caring. He went above and beyond, even carrying one of the group’s backpacks up the mountain to ensure they could keep going comfortably. That kind of dedication and attention to the group’s wellbeing made a real difference.
If you’re thinking of doing this trek, don’t hesitate – and if you can, ask for Grigor. You’ll be in excellent hands.

** An Unforgettable Mont Blanc Trek – Perfectly Planned, Exceptionally Guided **
I completed a trek to Mont de Blanc last week and I can’t speak highly enough of the experience. From the very beginning, the arrangements were seamless — everything was thoughtfully planned, from the logistics and accommodations to the daily trekking routes and meals. The organization ensured that we could focus entirely on enjoying the trail and the stunning alpine scenery.
A special mention to our guide, Grigor, who truly made this journey extraordinary. He ensured everyone felt safe, supported, and encouraged throughout. His care, patience, and attention made all the difference.
If you’re planning a trek to Mont de Blanc, I wholeheartedly recommend this team — and if you’re lucky enough to trek with Grigor, you’re in the best hands!

This trip simply could not have been bettered. The scenery was breathtaking, the other travellers were enormous fun and the days were filled with fun and laughter.

I would definitely recommend this trip! Having never canoed or wild camped before, I wasn’t sure what to expect. The experience ranged from relaxing to challenging and everything in between. The canoeing was great fun, the food was hearty and delicious and the wild camping not as daunting as I had expected. A highlight was the great locations where we pitched our tents. The scenery and views were fantastic. We had a lovely group of people guided by the brilliant Sam, and at the end there was a real sense of achievement at having crossed the Great Glen. After 100km of canoeing, I didn’t want the trip to end. If you are in two minds as to whether to book this trip, just go for it.
Travelled on: Canoe Across Scotland
Absolutely brilliant! Sam our guide was fantastic and worked really hard to make the trip the best experience ever. The other people on the trip were all lovely and we had such a good laugh. Honestly at the end I didn't want to leave.
Travelled on: Canoe Across Scotland
This canoeing holiday across Scotland far exceeded my expectations. We were blessed with freakishly beautiful weather, which made every moment on the water and each wild camping site feel like something out of a dream. The landscapes were stunning, and waking up in such remote, peaceful places was nothing short of magical.
Sam, our guide, was phenomenal. While we pitched our tents, he somehow conjured up incredible food each evening. They were hearty, delicious, comforting meals that tasted even better after a full day of paddling. He struck the perfect balance between offering expert tuition (his tips on ruddering were spot on), giving moral support, and keeping spirits high. His encouragement and expertise made a real difference when Loch Ness was being a tad unforgiving.
I feel really blessed by the wonderful group of humans I got to share this adventure with; everyone brought something special to the experience. Saying goodbye at the end was genuinely emotional.
The trip was physically demanding - especially the porterage, which I may have underestimated! But, the sense of teamwork and camaraderie carried us through. It was exhilarating, character-building, and exactly the tonic I needed.
And that first ice-cold soda and slice of pizza at the end? Utterly well-earned and never tasted so good.
If you’re even half-considering a trip like this: go! You won’t regret it. Just remember to pack a midge net!

Incredible trip. Tough compared to previous hikes but well worth it. Scenery was breathtaking with each day offering something new. The refuges were faultless, comfy and not as busy as some others I've stayed at. The guide Claudio was amazing. Very knowledgeable about each area as well as the flora and fauna with in, will definitely be using as a guide for future trips.

Fantastic experience! If you dont have time/energy for the whole TMB this is a good option. Everything was perfect for us, even on the day when we had to hike though the rain. Our guide Christel is a an example of a true professional, we were lucky to have her. Always positive, supportive and humorous. 1000m of elevation is not a walk in the park (apparently), so be ready physically. Read all the info about the trip carefully to enjoy this hike - we used all the items mentioned in the kit list. Our group was fantastic - miss you guys!

TLDR; Great trip, great guides, great views - but do not underestimate the level of fitness required.
Lahouceine (organiser) and Hassan (guide) were great. Lahouceine ensured we were picked up from the airport despite our flight being late and also organised a last minute addition to our trip to visit ourika valley, both very much appreciated thank you!
Hassan our guide, was great keeping a solid, but relaxed pace. I had some problems on the mountain descent, and he patiently made sure I made it down safely.
To that end, please do NOT underestimate the level of fitness required for this.
I am relatively fit young man but would consider myself a novice hiker. While not a technical climb, I found this extremely challenging from a fitness perspective. If you are like me and only ever done some modest hikes (i.e. not multi-day hikes), you absolutely must train for this. You'll enjoy it so much more if you do.
Accommodation and food was good, refuge is indeed basic. Bring toilet roll, wet wipes, eye mask and ear plugs - will feel slightly more comfortable that way.
Overall great experience, would recommend. 👍
Travelled on: Hike Mount Toubkal (4,167m)
Well organised, great guide in Jan, very knowledgeable, friendly and approachable.
Penzión Lomnicky hotel was fantastic, a great way to unwind after the day.
3 good days hiking, the gorges were my highlight.
Disappointed not to have done the cable car and summit but the weather and time were against us, could maybe have done it on the first day.
All in all, a very good trip and somewhere I will revisit.
Travelled on: Hike the High Tatras & Slovak Paradise
Day 1 - Started with a ‘gentle’ climb from Courmayeur through the Val Ferret Valley climbing to 2,025m of altitude to our base for the night, managing a rather quick 2 min shower and then enjoying a welcome 4 course meal at Rifugio Bonatti.
Day 2 - An early start trekking from Rifugio Bonatti along the Grand Ferret Pass to our highest climb of 2,536m. Our descent took us down to La Fouly over glaciers and waterfalls where we overnighted at Relais D'Arpette.
Day 3 - Another early start to trek from Champex-Lac up a challenging hike to Bovine, where we had the most incredible rosti washed down with a biere panache. We made our descent through Col de la Forclaz, which has been an important part of the Tour De France cycle race before overnighting in the pretty village of Trient
Day 4 - A rather wet trek back into eFrance through Col De Balme, stopping for lunch at Les Ecuries de Charamillon (fantastic quiche and mulled wine) The weather was still horrendous so we caught a cable car for the final 5 minute descent into Le Tour.
AlpsAdventures is a small local guiding company, based in Switzerland. Our fantastic guide was Tracey and she was absolutely fab, really experienced and so knowledgeable of the Mountain range and such an asset to Alps Adventures!

An unforgettable solo adventure — and now I’m still laughing!
I went on the Matterhorn Highlights trip solo and came away with not only stunning memories but an incredible group of people who had me laughing for four days straight — and honestly, I’m still laughing!
Everything was so well-organised from start to finish. The accommodation and meals were of a really high standard, and the scenery? Absolutely breathtaking. Every turn offered something more beautiful than the last.
Our guide, Charles, was a standout. He went above and beyond every single day to make sure everyone was okay, comfortable, and connected. He bookended each day with a group circle where we could reflect and share experiences, which added such a meaningful layer to the trip. He even led daily yoga sessions for those who wanted to join, and consistently educated us on our surroundings in a way that felt thoughtful and accessible. Dare I say, he helped us become more mindful, conscious humans along the way!
I would totally recommend this trip — and if you’re lucky enough to have Charles as your guide, you’re in for something truly special

This was the first multi-day hiking trip I have done. The whole thing was very well organised, including the info provided before the trip including what to bring. The guide, Roberto, also sensibly contacted us beforehand to judge our fitness levels as there was quite a bit of snow to negotiate on the hike. The hike, as expected, was challenging but quite manageable for my son (19) and I (61) as we are keen walkers. The landscape was absolutely sensational and we were blessed with wonderful weather. Roberto was a star - chatty at times, but also knew when to be quiet and allow us to soak in the place we were in. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the mountains. The chalets were fairly basic as you would expect, but well organised and clean; the food was simple but tasty and in sufficient quantities to fuel our hikes. An amazing trip that I will never forget!

Just getting back from this adventure with my 16yr old son. Booked through sky hook but our trip and guide, Grecjan, was with Alps adventures. From the moment we all meet, everything was well informed and explained. My sons dietary allergies were catered for. The food and hostels were needed for a well earned rest at the end of each day and were just what was detailed. The hike itself was tough. But an achievement when you reach the end as a group with new friends.

Fabulous trip that has given me memories that will last for a lifetime. Unbelievable views and company and a real sense of achievement.

Thank you Skyhook and Alpine Adventures but most of all thank you Gracjan.

From airport pickup to drop off after the trip, Nordic paddling where brilliant.I'd only kayaked twice before, a couple of hours each time, so kayaking on Norwigan fjords was something I was really looking forward to. From our first day staying in a cabin to 2 days wild camping our guide Sini was brilliant. You could tell she was very experienced at kayaking & knowledgeable about the area . Everything was planned out perfectly & was always in contact with Nordic paddling about the weather conditions. The wild camping I hadn't done for over 20 years so was something different from my usual holidays but it was something I'm glad I've done again. Beautiful area & so peaceful. Sini was always up first so breakfast was ready for us & we all helped prepare evening meals. The kayaking on the fjords & the hike up to pulpit rock was spectacular .After this trip I want more adventures holidays, preferably kayaking again because I loved it. I would definitely recommend this trip to everyone.

Just returned from the 4 day Kayak and Hiking trip to Lysefjord - Norway. It was everything I envisaged it to be. We saw Seals, Jellyfish numerous birdlife and tried new things such as reindeer wraps. The kayaking was awesome and very safe. Pulpit rock was amazing. The wild blueberries were delicious too.
I would like to give a big shout out to our excellent guide Sinni who was very knowledgeable on the area and its flora an fauna, kayaking tips and tricks. She worked tirelessly to accommodate us and ensure our adventure was as good as can be. 5 Stars!

It was a very well organised and a lovely trip!!!! The stay, the staff and food at Penzion Lomnicky was very good. The staff (Anna and Gabriela)were were very helpful and kind. The rooms were very large and clean and it was in a beautiful place by the river.
Our guide Peter was a star!!! He was very kind and so helpful and had a lot patience especially waiting on me and leading the way when descending in difficult parts of the hike. He took us to the river on the first day and we all loved it thoroughly enjoyed it. Peter was very knowledgeable and knew the names of all peaks in entire range of Tatras by heart and was very passionate about hiking. A true Slovak at heart and introduced us to a lot of local dishes and drinks which we all really enjoyed.
The second day in Sucha bela was the best.

An Unforgettable Matterhorn Experience
From start to finish, the Matterhorn highlights hike was nothing short of incredible. As people relatively new to this type of hiking, we weren’t entirely sure what to expect-but every aspect of the trip exceeded our expectations in the best possible ways.
Firstly, our guide Tracey was truly exceptional. Her enthusiasm was infectious, and her energy kept the entire group motivated throughout the journey. She struck the perfect balance between encouragement and challenge, making sure each person felt supported no matter their fitness or experience level. What stood out most was how intuitively she paced the group. We never felt rushed, nor did things drag- she knew just when to push forward and when to pause and soak in the views. Her ability to bring people together created a warm and cohesive group atmosphere right away.
The views along the trail were absolutely spectacular. Even as beginners, we found the hike to be entirely manageable. There were some challenging moments, but they left you feeling accomplished, not overwhelmed. The route was clearly planned to balance effort with reward, and there was never a point where we felt out of our depth.
One great surprise was the food. We didn’t expect too much from the meals, but they far surpassed our expectations.
If you’re considering this trip, we’d highly recommend doing it.
Aoife and Vicky

Myself and three friends booked a trip to climb Mount Toubkal through Skyhook, and I couldn’t recommend the experience enough. Everything about the trip was seamless from start to finish.
We were picked up early from the airport with no issues and driven straight to Imlil. The accommodation there was excellent — the food was delicious, with massive portion sizes, thanks to Hamad who cooked for us during our stay.
Our guide, Mohamed, was outstanding. He adjusted his pace to suit our group and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout. On the first day, we hiked from Imlil to the refuge. The second day began with a 2:30am start, allowing us to reach the summit in time for sunrise.
During the trek, we were incredibly well looked after by our cook, Ahmed, who made sure we were well fed and fuelled with hearty meals at every stop. On the way back, we took an alternative route, summiting another peak and visiting a nearby plane wreck before descending towards Imlil. We even stopped for a swim along the way.
All in all, an unforgettable trip — especially with Mohamed as our guide, and with Ahmed and Hamad keeping us so well fed. Highly recommended.

I’m just back from my “Canoe Across Scotland trip” and reflecting on the experience.
The organisation of the trip, including our guide Adam and Steve who supported him, along with the equipment, food and logistics was amazing. Adam and Steve guided us well both on and off the water and made sure we were well fed and most importantly, as safe as possible.
The others canoeists in the group were just lovely and we all supported each other and worked together to make the trip possible.
Never having canoeing or wild camped before this trip definitely pushed me well outside my comfort zone and without the guides and my fellow campers I might have snuck off halfway through! However, I am so glad I finished the trip and feel incredibly proud of us all and in particular canoeing”The Ness” in just one day.

This was a truly memorable experience which pushed us just far enough outside our comfort zone. Our guide Robson was incredibly experienced and quickly built up a rapport with our group through his straight-talking approach and endless supply of jokes (of varying quality!) The weather was very changeable but Robson expertly adapted our itinerary to suit and we all learnt to trust his judgement completely. My friend Jean has coeliac disease and her dietary needs were very well catered for. The food and snacks were plentiful and we were never hungry. The wild camping sites were beautiful and all the camping equipment provided was of a high standard and quick to put together.
It is amazing how quickly you get to know a group of people in a situation like this and we had a lot of fun together, mainly through the mediums of laughter and song!
Be aware that there is a lot of portage - moving canoes and all equipment. Upper body strength is needed for this as much as the canoeing.
I would highly recommend this trip to anyone with an adventurous spirit (or bring a friend who has one!) You won't regret it.

Firstly, Ben is an incredible guide. His passion for the mountains and enthusiasm and knowledge of the surrounding nature were second to none.
I was part of a wonderful group of trekkers.
We loved every aspect of the tour, even the rough ups and the rugged downs!
The mountain huts and all accommodation were more than adequate for our needs. Ben recommended and took us to some amazing places to eat on our tour in stunningly beautiful locations.
The crystal-clear streams and water stops were perfect to top up our water bottles.
I would highly recommend this trek. It’s not easy, so be prepared, but with support, effort, and the relevant training, it’s absolutely doable.
Thank you for a wonderful experience.

What an incredible trek. My first of many I'm sure. Our guide Ben was absolutely incredible. His passion for the mountains and to share his knowledge was fantastic. He made sure we had an incredible time and experience. Recommend to anyone who is thinking of trekking for the first time. Bring on 2026 xx

Wonderful trip and experience, despite rain on the first day of kayaking. Our guide Sandra was excellent keeping everyone's spirits up and preparing our meals as well as guiding both the kayaking and hike. It really was wild camping! The company did really well when a rockfall in the road tunnel delayed departure plans, one of the group got a motorboat lift towards the airport so she could meet her flight plans, probably adding to the adventure.

I really enjoyed the 4 day Mt. Blanc hiking experience. All members of our group were great fun and so easy to get on with.
Our guide Min was excellent, extremely helpful and encouraging, I learned a lot from her. I would strongly recommend

Our advice would to dig deep and reap the rewards of this magnificent part of the world. We loved it but your level of fitness will play a part.

Great trip, great guides and a great group.
This was an awesome introduction to hiking and scrambling. Hike to the hut is nice and easy. The hut is well equipped and full of friendly people, all with the same goal.
The food in the hut is pretty good for a mountain hut and there’s a well stocked beer fridge!
The climb to the summit is relatively straightforward. No real technical difficulties. A few bits of scrambling but this really is a safe introduction to scrambling to a peak.
The guide even let us detour to the second highest mountain in Greece on the way back.
You get back to the hut relatively early on the second day and can relax, socialise and chat with your fellow hikers and climbers.
If you are desperate to get down early you could leave and be back in Pironia early evening but the hut is fairly comfortable and the beds not too close like some I have stayed in.
The guides were really good. Listened to the team and were part of the group.
Done a few peaks now, both solo and guided. Would suggest this is a great introduction to the mountains.
Most of all, with the guided trips, it’s the people that make it. Both the guides and the group were a great bunch who made the most of this experience together!
Recommend doing this if you can fit it in.

The tour was very memorable and really meet our expectation. Our guide Sabrina took
good care of us. A very minor minus point is the food that is high in carbs and low in protein, which is not our favorable type of diet, but this is very personal. Accommondations are quite nice considering that the hostels are on the mountains. Overall, we highly recommend the tour if you want to have an unforgettable experience.

The trails and mountain views are beautiful and trekking gave a different experience to my usual cycling, motorcycle experiences. However the people made it for me. Having a slightly larger group than usual and two guides created a diverse set of people to talk to and get to know, if any of them were missing it wouldn't have been the same.

Probably my favourite holiday/trip ever -
Will definitely be booking another trip in future!
I’m generally not one to write reviews, but had such a good experience last week, feel that I can’t not leave one.
My wife and I did the TMB highlights 4 day trip. We are reasonably fit - do plenty of running/walking etc in the uk. But the pace was kept steady and the group together. We had never done a group holiday. We were a bit unsure how it would be, sharing dorms in mountain huts with strangers, but in fact it really added to the trip and we met some really great people to walk with. Our guides (Cristina & Mihail) were fantastic. Fun, Enthusiastic, knowledgeable about the area and supportive of people in the group when required. The area is simply stunning, words just can’t do it justice. You MUST go and see it for yourself. A cold beer with views after a long day walking, at a remote mountain hut at the top of a mountain never tasted so good (yes the huts even have beer!)
We stayed a night either side at the start/finish to make it a week. I also recommend taking the cable car up Aguile du midi, it’s a short walk from the lodge and is well worth it.

Tuure our guide is amazing. He’s very knowledgeable, helpful and makes my trip memorable. Kayak along the coastline everywhere you turns the view of the fjords is stunning. When you hike up Pulpit Rock don’t forget the bugs spray and head net like I did otherwise you’ll get bitten. The view from my tent is the most beautiful and magical thing for me to wake up to everyday while I was there.

What an unforgettable experience!!!
Our guide, Min, was absolutely amazing - truly the best I could have asked for on my first multi-day hike. From start to finish, she was exceptionally supportive, always ensuring everyone was safe, comfortable, and enjoying each step - whether it was an ascent or descent.
I basically trusted her with my life 😝, especially since I’d never tackled some of the trickier terrain before. Her little nuggets of knowledge, quick jokes, and constant encouragement made even the toughest uphill stretches more enjoyable.
I came away from the trip feeling so pumped that I’m already searching for my next hiking adventure this year!

The tour was absolutely incredible—truly beyond words. The duration was just right to fully appreciate the beauty of Mont Blanc and the surrounding areas. The hiking trails were wonderfully diverse, offering something new each day. Every detail was handled with precision and met all expectations.
Paul was an outstanding guide—not just leading the way, but genuinely feeling like a friend throughout the journey. He shared insightful explanations and even surprised us with a few unexpected adventures. This is a tour not to be missed!

So much fun climbing this beautiful, diverse mountain. Green forest lower down and dramatic rocky scenery above. The scramble was also a lot of fun and not at all difficult. The guides were fun and very experienced too and made everyone feel safe and happy. Happily recommend to anyone who likes hikes that push your bounds a little bit.
Travelled on: Mount Olympus Hike (2,919m)
Overall, the experience with Skyhook was outstanding — the challenge itself was incredible, the organisation leading up to the event was smooth, and the drivers of the bus were friendly and respectful.
However, we were extremely let down by the guide assigned to our group. Unfortunately, Gary did not meet the level of competence or fitness we expected for such a demanding challenge. His pace was significantly below what was needed to complete the event within the 24-hour goal, and he appeared to struggle physically throughout. He openly admitted out of 20 attempts that he had only completed the challenge successfully a pitiful 3 times!
More concerning was his decision-making during critical moments. He left one member of our group alone at the summit of Scafell Pike in appalling weather conditions — an action that, frankly, could have resulted in serious consequences. Additionally, on the descent, he took a wrong turn at a very straightforward junction despite suggestions from the group that we should have taken the left path along the river. His insistence led us to a hotel in the middle of nowhere, unnecessarily adding at least 30 minutes to our journey.
While we understand that weather and fatigue can complicate things in the mountains, I expected a guide who was better equipped — physically and navigationally — to lead me safely and efficiently. This aspect significantly impacted my experience and is something I urge Skyhook to address for future groups.

What an amazing adventure probably the best thing I’ve ever done. Robson and Billy were fabulous guides felt very safe and trusted their decisions along the journey with ever changing conditions. A fantastic group of people who definitely made the trip special. The scenery along the way was at times breathtaking, the canals so peaceful and the Lochs spirited but no sign of nessy. It’s amazing how little you need so trust the advice given about the kit. Would highly recommend if you want an active holiday.
Travelled on: Canoe Across Scotland
The trip itself is spectacular...great views, beautiful camping spots and even though it can be challenging at times, it´s absolutely worth battling wind, blisters and midges :) The tour is very well organized and you´ll be provided with equipment, food and -if required- transportation to Inverness (drop-off only train station) afterwards.
The reason I didn´t give it a higher rating is due to the poor communication and lack of leadership of our guides. They both were very professional when it came to canoeing and they did get us from A to B safely, providing food and directions, but I would have appreciated if there would have been a clear and coherent communication to the whole group and more structure (what happens when; scheduled breaks for everybody; plan for the day; what to do if...). Instructions and information were mostly given out haphazardly to the people who happened to be standing close and from there on it was a hear-say for everybody else. Furthermore, it often seemed a bit stressfull and breaks sometimes were a bit scarce.
Nevertheless, I am very glad I did the tour and proud to have paddled 100km across Scotland!

What a fabulous week walking in such a beautiful, unspoiled, wild mountainous national park. The trek was challenging but not overly so as to not be enjoyable. If fact I would say it was definitely one of the best weeks walking I have ever done. Stunning scenery, great company, very tasty, healthy food in the huts. Nice varied packed lunches and ok sleeping accommodation. The showers were mostly warm and the beer not too expensive considering the remote locations! 🤣 I would highly recommend the experience. Thanks Ian and Risko guides for looking after us so well. Not a single issue to report. 😀👍🗻🥾

Incredible Trek, Incredible people and an Amazing guide!
This hut to hut trek exceeded all my expectations from start to finish. The views throughout are stunning and diverse. The huts were in great locations, though sleeping in large dorms can always be a bit uncomfortable (bring ear plugs). The food was great and more than enough throughout the day.
Ian, our guide, really made this trip for me. His knowledge of the area, banter and ability to adapt to the groups needs/skills was fantastic. A steady trekking pace for the 5 days made sure we had enough strength to add in a couple of cheeky summits along the route.
Thanks Ian and skyhook!
Travelled on: Hut to Hut Hiking in the Pyrenees Mountains
This Hike is an extremely rewarding 5 days of quite tough hiking in places. It is not a hike for somebody just looking for a ready made path; there is plenty of rocks to navigate and boulders to climb over. However the reward in scenery and tranquility is so worth it.
If you have never been in a hut before do a bit of research as you will be sleeping in big dorms with many mattresses side by side and people above! People will snore etc, but you soon get used to it and it’s all part of the experience.
The food in these huts was really good with great lunchtime sandwich packs; very tasty!
The other beauty of this hike is the total peace on one day we saw 7 other people all day and another day just 9.
I would highly recommend Ian our guide, he kept a really steady pace, continually checking on the team and supporting in any areas that caused any questions at all; on bits of snow, crossing streams , climbing over boulders etc.
The only thing I would stress is you do need a good pair of boots Due to the terrain.
All in all a really great experience, thank you Ian!

What a fantastic long weekend! I booked a single place and met a wonderful group of people.
Our guide, Sandra, was exceptional. She made sure that everyone was well fed and happy with the kayaking and hiking pace; offering great insights and history of the area - thank you so much Sandra.
I have been on many guided trips over the years and must say this has to be one of the most memorable of them all.
The fjord itself was so beautiful...it looked like a painting…my photos don't do it justice.
Getting picked up at Stavanger and dropped off at the stunning hut location made the whole journey so easy (same for the return day).
The hut wasn't some tiny garden shed, it was a large wooden cabin in a very pretty bay, with comfy a bed and all mod-cons - I slept well every night.
If you're considering this trip, don't hesitate, I promise that you won't regret it :)

I had a great time doing the National 3 Peaks Challenge. Fantastic experience, a real challenge and sense of achievement afterwards, it's given me the drive to do some more challenges in the same vein. Everything ran very smoothly, from the pick-ups and pre-challenge hotel stay to the challenge itself. Ours was a group of seven total strangers but the lot of us gelled and became a solid team very quickly. Richard was a brilliant and experienced guide, kept us on track and on pace while sharing his abundance of outdoor knowledge, and credit to our drivers Darren and Paul who kept us rolling between peaks. Highly recommended.

This was such an amazing trip. The local guides Dado, Eva, Anten, Toni and Mitch were all excellent giving us not only excellent guidance at all times but great history and interesting facts about the local area. The Kayaking was a great introduction to the beautiful town of Omiš, the kanyoning challenging but so beautiful that you forget about the challenge and the rafting was a wonderful fun way to finish an epic adventure. Apart from the above you still get lots of time to explore Omiš, or just relax on the beach. It was truly an amazing adventure. I’m still smiling. The team in Omiš go above and beyond to look after you 10/10

Long story short: I Do NOT recommend it.
The longer version:
We were told in the description (and also in the emails) that we would be going at a pace that would allow us to complete the 24-hour challenge — and we trained for that too.
Well, we failed pretty much the whole thing at the beginning, at Ben Nevis. We were nowhere near the advertised pace.
Yes, we know there are always slower people in the groups, BUT we were held back several times. The whole thing was extra slow, very-very far from the original itinerary.
Later, some people turned back at Scafell Pike, so we had a chance to achieve our goal.
The most outrageous thing happened at Snowdon: the guide adjusted the pace to the people who had already dropped out of the challenge (because they didn't achieve the second summit), constantly sending them forward, while constantly holding back those still was in the challenge. We were told constantly, 'we are a team, we do this together'.
Well, as far as I can see - the goal is also in the name of the announced program: to complete the 3 summits in 24 hours. That is why we paid hundreds of £.
Not doing it for 26-27-28 hours, not for doing funny teambuilding event with those who dropped out earlier due to cardio problems. Ridiculous.
Quoted from your page: 'The guide will aim to set a pace which the group can realistically attempt to complete the challenge within 24 hours. This will mean a relatively fast walk with minimal breaks of no more than a few minutes to drink, have a quick snack or catch your breath. If you are well off the pace or struggling, the guide may need to make a call as to whether you can continue the challenge.'
It would be good to decide which policy you'll follow on future trips: 'If you can't keep up, please turn back', or 'Let's walk hand in hand, enjoying ourselves for 97 minutes longer than our itinerary recommends'.
Communication: there is still a lot of room for improvement.
We received a lot of automated emails before and after the tour, but we barely learned anything during the tour.
Receiving a 4 week training plan 2 days before the start, that's a new level of something.
The pick-up in Glasgow was adventurous. Two teams started, but there was no communication at all about it. Couple minutes before the pick-up, I was found myself in two different WA chats... different pick-up times+different places. Not bad, but not good either.
Real-life communication during the tour was pretty much zero: During the challenge, we didn't get any specific answers from the guide (e.g. the schedule of the breaks for the next 5-6 hour bus rides, or which way we climb on Scafell Pike)... the whole thing is frivolous.
It’s a bit disappointing to get multiple generic emails, but not a single follow-up from the guide — even a brief note from Skyhook addressed to our group would have meant a lot.
Final thoughts. Quoting your guide: 'It's not the end of the world if we don't make it.'
Well, maybe not — if you're doing this 7 or 8 times a season.
But for us, this attitude is deeply disappointing. Several of us traveled from abroad to take part. This wasn’t just a two-hour train ride and a casual drop-off at the pub of the station.
We can only hope he enjoyed his beer, since we didn’t get what we came for.
Reply by Mountaineerin Ltd:
Hi Csaba,
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback, and for joining us on the National 3 Peaks Challenge.
We’re really sorry to hear that the experience didn’t meet your expectations, especially after all the training and preparation you put in. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to feel held back and to miss the 24-hour goal — particularly when you felt capable of achieving it.
As with all Skyhook adventures, this is an open-group trip, and as you noted, pacing can be complex. While guides aim to keep the group moving at a pace that allows for a 24-hour finish, their first priority must be group safety. There are points on the mountains where it’s no longer safe for individuals to go ahead or descend alone, meaning the guide must manage the group as a whole. Unfortunately, this can sometimes result in faster participants being affected by the overall group pace — something we know can be disappointing.
For this reason, we try to make it as clear as possible on the trip page that while completing the challenge in under 24 hours is the goal, it can’t be guaranteed. A number of factors — including group dynamics, fitness levels, traffic, and weather — can all have an impact.
Your feedback on communication, pre-trip clarity, and the pacing experience is very much appreciated, and we’re already in discussion with the operator about ways to improve this moving forward.
Thank you again for your honest and constructive feedback. We’re really sorry the trip didn’t meet your expectations, but your comments will help us improve the experience for future participants.

Hats off to Chris our tour guide. What a pleasure it was to meet him. I felt like I was left to learn new experiences but as soon as something went a little strange. Chris was there to support. His skills of differentiating and catering for different skill levels and food needs/requirements was top level. Good to go adventures have a great set up and in the wind and rain we were still smiling and getting on with it. The equipment was brilliant and most brand new such as tents etc. I just can’t explain how much fun I had and how much I learnt. Yes! I’m definitely doing it again 😀😀😀👍🏼👍🏼

I’ve just come back after spending the last 5 days exploring Scotland with a great bunch of people and I’m missing it already and looking at what adventure to go on next! The trip started near Fort William where we were met by our guides Bill and Reg. After sorting kit and being briefed, we were soon on our way canoeing 100km over 5 days to Inverness. Bill and Reg are absolute dime’s and made everything run so smoothly - along with the rest of the group it was a pleasure to spend the last week with them! The weather was the typical Scottish weather but added to the whole experience! The food and snacks were plentiful and spot on .. with Reg cooking up some delicious one pot delights each night. Great experience and not many days you can say you’ve canoed and camped on the shores of Loch Ness. Thank you for such a lovely trip.

Trip was amazing despite some typical Scottish weather and insects, we had a great guide Sam who was very efficient and taught us how to get the most out of the trip. Found a great bunch of people which really helped to make the trip. Not been Kayaking before but would definitely recommend this trip, some reasonably tough moments carrying the gear across the locks, setting up a wet tent in a forest and cold temps at night, but the scenery, views and the teamwork far outweighed those moments. Felt a big achievement reaching the end in Inverness for sure.I am already interested in another trip with Skyhook next year

Our family of 5 ( ages 21 thru 50) recently completed the 5-day Salkantay trek with Inkayni Tours, and it was an unforgettable adventure! Our guide, Paul Cano, was exceptional - knowledgeable, passionate, and proud of his Peruvian heritage. He kept us safe and entertained throughout the trek, even when things got tough (like when I got sick for 2 days and my wife twisted her ankle!).
The food was incredible, thanks to Chef Cristobal and his assistant Clever. The porters and horses did an amazing job carrying our belongings, and the scenery was breathtaking.
If I have one suggestion, it's to break up Day 2 (Salkantay) into two sections. It's a long and challenging day, and a bit more pacing would make it more enjoyable.
We opted for horseback riding on two occasions (to Humantay Lagoon and Salkantay Mountain), which was worth every extra penny (bring CASH - u will need it). It allowed us to enjoy the scenery without excessive strain.
Overall, Inkayni Tours provided an outstanding experience. I highly recommend Paul, Cristobal, Clever and the entire team. Can't wait to come back to Peru!"

Had the most wonderful Kayaking trip along the Jurassic Coast in Dorset. The leaders were amazing and very knowledgeable. I met the most amazing group of people, sitting around the campsite was a perfect ending to an busy day.
We had are own individual tents and beds were very comfortable. Tea and coffee was available and plenty of snacks.
Thank you 😊

This was an incredible trip, I am so happy with it! Alpaca Expeditions is absolutely amazing and I would definitely travel with them again! There are a few inconsistencies in the kit list provided by skyhook, we were supposed to bring toilet paper and bug spray, and Alpaca can provide sleeping bag liners.

Loved every minute from the get go, a great way to indulge yourself in nature and meet new people. Also, a great challenge for anyone wanting to further their hiking skills, higher altitude levels which people won't experience in the UK. Get yourself booked on and immerse yourself in a weekend of memories, laughs and great food too! The guides are so friendly, caring and welcoming. They couldn't do enough for everyone. I would happily book with Skyhook again to do another trip. Thankyou team!
Travelled on: Hike Mount Toubkal (4,167m)
I have to say that this is a fantastic trip, though it is not to be underestimated. Days 2 and 3 of this trip are big mountain days with lots of height gain and loss, particularly on summit day, and in my opinion a high level of fitness is needed. The first night in the guesthouse in Imlil was lovely. The beds were firm but clean and comfortable, and the hosts very friendly, with excellent food. We met our two guides in the evening, and they led us off to the high refuge after breakfast on day 2, a six hour hiking day, constantly gaining altitude the whole way, with some tough sections. The guides throughout were excellent, though one had a slightly faster pace than the other when at the front, which put us under a bit of pressure from time to time. I apologise I dont have their names to hand. The high refuge was as you would expect from a mountain refuge in the Alps, clean but basic sleeping arrangements, decent food, and amazing views. It was very busy, but we were well looked after by the guides. Summit day began with breakfast at 3pm, and we left for the summit about 3.40am, arriving around 7am on the summit, our whole group made it. We stayed around 30 mins on the summit, then what followed was a quite tricky descent, it is very slippy with scree, I advise walking poles as a must. We descended right back to Imlil, which meant a very very big day, and everyone was exhausted by the time we got down, with many people having slipped on the way. This wasn't my first 4000m mountain, but it was for many of the group, and served as a good intro to altitude.

Great trip! Physically very demanding, but a great challenge. Would highly recommend to any adventurous people who enjoy being pushed out of their comfort zone. Capsizing is a likelihood, so you need to be comfortable getting wet and able to jump into action when you do, to rescue your canoe. TIP: Ensure all your dry bags and barrels are tightly secured to avoid them floating down river if you do capsize.
Travelled on: Canoe the Scottish Highlands (River Spey)
Great few days going down the Spey. Robson was a brilliant guide and kept us all safe and well fed. River levels were low after a 5 week dry spell but added a different element to the challenge. Washing machine was definitely my favourite bit. Capsized a couple of times which couldn't be helped, but Robson and the rest of the group on hand to get us back in the boat in no time at all. On last night, we found a great island to camp and even had the bonus of a fire that night as we ate and talked the night away. I'd highly recommend but it does involve some fitness for the steering.

Amazing trip!!
Everything was perfectly organised, from beginning to end.
I would not classify it as beginner/improver level though, it was definitely doable, but tough , you should be reasonably fit.
The guides were great, food was fresh and plentiful.
Accommodation in Emlil was super all around.
The Refuge was ok but dorms were for 24 people , so don't expect to sleep much.
Showers didn't do much.
Take wet wipes , ear plugs and an eye mask.
All in all a fabulous experience, we were shattered afterwards but it was absolutely worth it!!!

An incredible trip! I travelled with my daughter. Have to say that summit day was tough as winds were high & my daughter was feeling unwell. However, our guides Abdul & Yusef were amazing - so kind, caring, helpful & encouraging. We wouldn't have made it to the top & down without them. In fact the whole team were brilliant - Lahouceine who organised the trip, the hosts at Riad Bab Imlil, the muleteers, cooks & refuge staff. We were so well looked after at every stage. The food was very healthy & they even catered for my daughter & I as we are gluten intolerant. If you are looking to do this trip do not hesitate to book with Skyhook & Atlas Vertical. Definitely an adventure!

Outstanding Experience with Skyhook – 3 Peaks in 24 Hours!
Taking on the 3 Peaks Challenge with Skyhook was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. From start to finish, the team was professional, organized, and incredibly supportive. The guides were knowledgeable, encouraging, and knew exactly how to keep us motivated and on track through some tough climbs and tight timeframes.
Each peak – Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Snowdon – presented its own unique challenge, but Skyhook's planning and logistics were spot-on. The transportation was smooth and comfortable, rest breaks were well-timed, and safety was clearly their top priority throughout.
What really stood out was the team atmosphere they created. It didn’t feel like just a hike – it felt like an adventure shared with like-minded people, backed by a company that truly knows what they’re doing. Whether you're an experienced hiker or taking on something like this for the first time, Skyhook delivers an incredible experience.
Highly recommend to anyone looking to push their limits with the confidence of expert support!
Travelled on: National 3 Peaks Challenge (24 Hours)
What an amazing adventure! We kicked things off with Ben Nevis at 7:35 AM on Saturday, and I officially finished the challenge by touching the minibus after Snowdon at 7:28 AM the next morning (yes, touching the minibus made it feel real!).
There’s no way I could’ve done this without all the right pieces falling into place — a fantastic group of people (so lovely to meet you all, you're amazing!), great guide and drivers, and even the weather was on our side. Huge thanks to Jon for keeping us all on track and for the guidance and encouragement along the way. And a special shoutout to Steve, one of our awesome drivers — thank you!
It was definitely a challenge (no surprise there!), and sticking to the schedule is super important. But it was all totally worth it! We were very lucky to get clear views on Ben Nevis, a beautiful sunset on Scafell Pike, and a stunning sunrise on Snowdon.
One small tip if you're getting picked up at Glasgow Central Station like I did: it’s a good idea to double-check exactly where to meet and get in touch with Simon ahead of time. Since my phone number isn’t UK-based, there was a small hiccup in getting in touch, but luckily I’d confirmed the spot and everything worked out fine.
Overall, such a great experience — thank you to everyone who made it so memorable!

Absolutely brilliant. I loved it from start to finish. I've never canoed before so worried I may hold up the group, but I needn't have worried as our guide James was brilliant throughout with quiet encouragement us throughout.
There was ample, and very delicious food cooked and provided throughout our trip, including a snack barrel, which was full of delicious goodies.
Our group were also brilliant, all working hard together, making it one of the best experiences I have ever taken part in.

Booked the trip last September and had waited patiently for the months to pass . This was my ‘first’ canoe experience and exceeded all expectations. We gained top tips , expert advise, reassurance at the little bit more choppy times that we could do this . Our guide James was a fantastic chap , it was a pleasure to spend 5 days with him and our fellow paddlers . We all bonded and worked as a team , had lots of laughs with each other , tonnes of snacks and delicious home cooked camp food . It’s left me sad it’s come to an end . Would do again in a heart beat ! If you are wondering if its too hard , is it for experts it’s not , just go for it and get it booked . The weather was on our side on this trip , but should not put you off , the trip can be adapted to make it more pleasant .

Brilliant trip! Our guide James was first rate and we all bonded really well as a group. The weather was also excellent - good decision to make the trip in the opposite direction t fit with the prevailing wind.
Travelled on: Canoe Across Scotland
I just completed an amazing adventure. I took a canoe trip across Scotland with a group and led by Sam. I was anxious to begin with. I'm a solo traveller and not young anymore. Would I cope with a canoe? sharing a canoe? the endurance across five days of paddling? wild camping? the weather? did I have the right gear? All of which I was quickly reassured about as our group of seven contained other solo travellers and had never canoed before.
It takes an awful lot of gear to get a small group of campers across lochs and a canal for five days, and all this was stowed in the canoes in barrels along with the personal gear. But once on the water, with the wind at our backs and with the right coaching from our guide, it turned out to be manageable and enjoyable to be doing something I'd never done before. The food was plentiful and the accommodation was adequate. It's amazing what you can do without over five days, and it makes you appreciate luxuries you take for granted, like a shower, a flush toilet, and a dining table. But the route does take you through some luxuries like the bar on the barge at Laggan Locks, or the pub lunch at Fort Augustus. We were fortunate with the weather. Wall to wall sunshine. A strong wind at times enabled us to utilise wind power to push us along, and it turns out that when everyone rafts up and uses a sail, you become a fast clipper and push the pace at a rate of exhilarating knots. The group worked as a team at the portages and every evening when we set up camp. Friends were made and memories shared. This is a great experience and I thoroughly recommend it to anyone with an adventurous ambition.
Travelled on: Canoe Across Scotland
Epic adventure! I loved every minute of this trip from the scenery, challenge of canoeing, wild camping, laughter and our amazing guide Sam, it was amazing. I would recommend for anyone looking to see Scotland from a different perspective, meet like minded people and challenge themselves!
Travelled on: Canoe Across Scotland
We had a lovely time and particularly recommend Youssef who was our driver for the week and did everything he could to make sure that we had an enjoyable trip and that our every need was met. I cannot commend him highly enough.
The places we stayed were very comfortable the food was very good although unfortunately we did suffer with some stomach issues (to be expected); the riad we stayed in todres gorge (Dar essyaha) was spectacular, the hosts were friendly and the food excellent, rooms clean and comfortable unfortunately the hotel in Casablanca (Diwan) probably the least comfortable and noisy.
Our local host Lahouceine was very helpful and the best guide was Adil in Fes and the guide in Volubilis - both extremely knowledgeable.
Would definitely travel with Skyhook again - it gave a local experience that would have not been provided on normal tourist trips
Highlight of trips: Fes best Medina I have ever seen and the camel trip

Highly recommended for anyone seeking a mix of adventure and soulful travel. I came back with beautiful memories and a deep appreciation for Morocco’s landscapes and people.
The trek was challenging but incredibly rewarding. Surrounded by the stunning Atlas Mountains, I was constantly in awe of the natural beauty. The local guides were not only experienced but also genuinely kind and supportive, making sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. (Special Thanks to Hassan, Abdul and Mustafa. 🙏🏻 )
Riding camels at sunset and sunrise across the dunes of Merzouga was a magical experience I’ll never forget.
PS. I absolutely loved the scent of the detergent they used at Palais des Dunes camp, so fresh and comforting! I regret not asking what type it was.

Book it…You won’t be disappointed!!
The whole trip was so well organised, and our guides, James and Phil were just wonderful. They looked after us so well, and kept us safe, well fed and entertained from start to finish.
The views and scenery along the way was simply breathtaking and we couldn’t have asked for better weather.
The wild camping spots we stayed at along the way were picture perfect and it was nice to just relax around the campfire at the end of each day enjoying the food, drinks and company of the others in my group.
This was, without a doubt one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had and I couldn't recommend it enough!
PS...If you feel the cold like me then I would suggest you invest in a decent sleeping bag as it did become very chilly during the night (mine was rubbish 🥶) and also don't wear shoes that aren't waterproof or that you don't mind getting wet as they WILL get soaked when docking and launching the canoes on and off the rocky shores...

From the moment we were met at Tirana until the sad day we were dropped back the professionalism, kindness and fun we received from Albanian Rafting was never short of outstanding.
The accommodation, food, activities were top class but what really stood out for me was the people behind it all.
Alma, Cristian, Arbri, Arti etc are wonderful people who worked so hard to deliver an amazing 5 days in beautiful Albania.
Looking back over the trip now I cant help but smile remembering all the adventures and belly laughs shared with my fellow travellers and new friends.

Our main guide, Arbri, was great company and you could see it really mattered to him that we were having a good time. He was polite, funny, enthusiastic and went out of his way to make sure we had a wonderful trip.
All the drivers were good.
The other guides including Arti, Ari, Christian and Kevi were also brilliant - good fun but professional and you felt very safe in their company
All in all an fantastic trip that I would highly recommend

On the whole this was a brilliant trip, Yousef our driver and guide was a firm friend by the end of our trip, our party was small and we all got on so well it made the whole trip so much fun. The mountain guide mohammed-sebil was excellent and very patient, he was calm and helpful especially when one of our group hurt themselves.
On the down side ...We did all seem to have slightly different information from sky hook about what was and wasn't included and the whole tipping culture can be a bit confusing as the advice given didn't really make sense. We got by sort of and it didn't spoil the trip but a bit more clarity, or just include the tips in the price, would be better for those of us that pay for a service and that's the price...
Anyway all in all a real adventure and a trip to remember 🥰

Amazing trip! A few minor details were different in person so Skyhook may need to update some details (i.e. tipping requirements etc.), however the trips was perfect and amazingly organised! I will be using Skyhook again!
Travelled on: Mt Toubkal & Sahara Desert Adventure
In May 2025, I embarked on an extraordinary hiking trip up Mount Toubkal with in a group of nine, organised by Skyhook Adventure. It was an unforgettable adventure, with every detail brilliantly managed, though the mountain itself was tougher than I anticipated. The walk from Imlil village to the Refuge was very enjoyable. The pace was relaxed and the views were stunning. I could see myself coming back again just to do this part of the trek.
The guides were exceptional—knowledgeable, approachable, and highly attentive. They ensured our safety whilst sharing captivating insights about the local culture and the mountain, enriching the entire experience. Their pacing was well-judged, allowing us to push ourselves without feeling rushed, accommodating both seasoned hikers and those less experienced with high-altitude treks.
Climbing Mount Toubkal was a breathtaking yet humbling challenge. The relentless ascents, thin air, and grueling hours tested my physical and mental limits beyond what I’d prepared for, set against the stunning Atlas Mountains. I should’ve researched the climb’s intensity more thoroughly, as it’s not for the faint-hearted. Still, my group and the guides’ unwavering support and the thrill of summiting made the challenge unforgettable.
Accommodation was good, with comfortable stays in and mountain refuges. Each was clean, cosy, and provided a welcoming haven to recover after a day’s hiking. The food was a highlight—delicious, hearty Moroccan dishes that kept us fuelled. From tagines to fresh bread and local fruit, every meal was a treat.
Transport was impeccable, with reliable and comfortable transfers to and from. Everything ran smoothly, freeing us to focus on the adventure without worrying about logistics. The pace of the hike was well-balanced, allowing us to savour the stunning scenery while tackling the mountain’s challenges.
Skyhook Adventure delivered a remarkable experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone eager to tackle Mount Toubkal. Despite wishing for a tad more guidance on what to expect from the climb, the attention to detail, passion for adventure, and commitment to creating memorable experiences made this trip truly exceptional. Highly recommend Skyhook Adventure.

Trekking to Machu Picchu with Alpaca Expeditions – My Experience
After months of planning, I finally landed in Cusco on May 3rd, ready for the trip. I had booked my trek through Skyhook, which partners with a local company, "Alpaca Expeditions", to offer guided hikes to Machu Picchu via the Salkantay trail. Here's how it all unfolded.
Arrival & Altitude Adjustments
As promised, a friendly driver met me at the airport holding a board with my name. It was a reassuring start. But then came the altitude.
Cusco sits at over 3,400 meters, and my body was not having it. Headaches, breathlessness, and general fatigue stuck around for the first three days. Paracetamol and ibuprofen helped a bit, and while I’d heard of Diamox (a prescription option), I decided to skip it. Locals swear by coca tea, and I soon became a believer—it’s available everywhere and surprisingly comforting.
Check-In & Itinerary Confusion
On 4th May , I checked- in for the briefing at the Alpaca Expeditions office, passport in hand, and paid for my gear rental: air mattress, walking poles, and sleeping bag (USD 65). Note: if you’re booking through Skyhook, poles are included—I got refunded later, no fuss.
Things got confusing when the guide mentioned a 1 PM pickup for the Sacred Valley tour, despite Skyhook’s itinerary mentioning a full-day tour starting at 7 AM. Another UK traveller raised the issue, and to their credit, the team quickly arranged a private full-day tour for the two of us for the next morning.
Sacred Valley & the Road to the Cabanas
We were picked up at 7:30 AM, explored Pisac and the Sacred Valley. However, we had to skip Ollantaytambo to head straight to the Glass Cabanas after lunch. The drive was long—about four hours—and the 30 minutes or so involved walking in the dark with our bags. It wasn’t easy, but our Salkantay guide came to find us, guiding us in with head torches(bring one!).
The Glass Cabanas were magical—clean, remote, and offering incredible views of the night sky (he Milky Way is the clearest I have ever seen). This is also where you'd get to see the Salkantay mountain. Dinner here, prepared by our star chef, was the first of many unexpectedly good meals.
The Hike Begins: Humantay Lake & Salkantay Pass
Wake-up was 4:30 AM(get used to early mornings). We hiked up to Humantay Lake, a stunning but challenging acclimatisation trek. If you’re struggling here, let your guide know—they can arrange a mule for the tougher Salkantay Pass climb later in the day. Lunch was mid -day. This is a tough day so be prepared with snacks and extra water.
After lunch, we continued to the Salkantay Pass, a , rocky ascent, but once we crossed the pass, it was mostly downhill. We arrived at camp in darkness around 6:30 PM, exhausted but proud. Please note that head torches are essential & must ne handy. Tents, sleeping bags, and air mattresses made it bearable. And again, the food was great.
Downhill Days, Hobbit Houses & Hot Springs
The next day was all downhill—literally. We passed areas affected by landslides, reminding us how important it was to stay with the group. Lunch was, again, delicious. We ended the day at a camp near the whimsical Hobbit Houses. Sadly, hot tubs weren’t working , but there was electricity and phones, battery packs, heard- torches etc can be charged here. .
Coffee Farms, Stars & First Glimpse of Machu Picchu
The following day was easier. We toured a coffee plantation, enjoyed picking coffee beans, and roasting & brewing coffee. After a leisurely lunch, and then hiked uphill for four hours to our next campsite. It was here that we got our first view of Machu Picchu in the distance. That night, under a crystal-clear sky and surrounded by glaciers was the most perfect evening of the trip.
Final Stretch: Hydroelectric Station & Aguas Calientes
After a cloudy morning failed to deliver the expected sunrise over Machu Picchu, we hiked down to the hydroelectric station, passed swarms of bugs (don’t forget your insect repellent spray), and had lunch before walking along the train tracks into Aguas Calientes.
A hiccup here—my hotel wasn't the same as the group’s. But again, our guide sorted it quickly, and I ended up in a clean, room with a long-awaited hot shower.
Waynapicchu – A Last-Minute Bonus
That evening, I spontaneously decided to hike Waynapicchu on the next day after doing Machu Picchu. Since it’s not part of the standard itinerary, I had to go in person to the Ticket office in Aguas Calientes with my passport. The guide kindly waited very kindly until I secured the ticket, around 10 PM.
Machu Picchu Day
We were up at 5 AM, queued for the bus, and reached Machu Picchu by 7 AM. Any large backpacks were left at the entrance as they aren't permitted. This is the only place for toilets (SOL 2) . The walk through the ancient citadel was the trip’s highlight. We did the Classic Tour 2A.
Those of us with Waynapicchu tickets then did the steep, narrow, slippery climb up for the best views. Not for the faint-hearted, but worth every step.
Back to Cusco
We wrapped up with lunch (self-paid) and some heartfelt thank-you to the guides. Then came the Peru Rail ride back to Ollantaytambo, which was quite delayed (so avoid booking return flights that night). A final 2.5-hour bus ride got us back to Cusco and were dropped at our hotels by car/van.
Final Thoughts
I stayed an extra day in Cusco for a gentle walking tour and some well-earned rest. The next morning, Alpaca Expeditions handled my airport transfer smoothly.
Overall, this trip was everything I hoped for as it was challenging, beautiful, well-organized and full of unexpected touches (like cake for breakfast and bonfires under the night sky). The guides and porters were tireless and kind, the food exceptional, and while the toilets and logistics weren’t always perfect, the experience was unforgettable.
Pro Tips:
Bring a head torch, toilet paper, bug spray, Sunscreen and carry your passport .
Acclimatize in Cusco for at least two days before starting the trek.
Don’t book flights the same evening you return from Machu Picchu.
Book hike to Waynapicchu , if you're keen to hike on the last day , along with Machu Picchu.

I enjoyed the trip. I liked everyone in our group which is strange because I don't generally like anyone.
Chuckie and Mack did a great job but in the snack barrel which was on our canoe had no Pickled onion Monster munch!
Still there you are. The weather was a factor in how hard this trip was so get as fit as possible if your thinking of giving it a go.
Had a hoot and even forgot my tent .

What a great adventure it was, at the start the weather was a bit windy which slowed us down, by the end the weather was perfect and we all competed it. Chucky and Mack were great always keeping a eye out for the slow coaches (I.e me lol) and giving advice on how your doing canoeing. Plenty of snacks and coffee on route, I will do this again or another adventure.

Amazing experience from start to finish. Both guides Abdul & Jhad are superstars! They kept the pace achievable for the whole group, helped where needed. Personally I don’t think I would have made it to the summit without their help.
The accommodation in Imil fantastic, small hostel which was spotlessly clean!
I needlessly worried about the food before the trip being vegetarian, it was great even at basecamp. There was always plenty of tasty food.

Where do I start ? This trip was excellent I’d give it a 10/10. The group I was fortunate enough to land with all made it to the top and were a great mix of people. Don’t be scared to book this alone. The two guides that took us up the mountain were amazing. They set the pace correctly and encouraged the group - kept us informed all the way. I really can’t express my gratitude to how well this trip played out, from all the meals being cooked to breath taking scenery, every Moroccan person I met was genuine, interesting , honest , funny, kind they really are a great bunch of people, I will always have fond memories of Morocco and will return to do other mountains in the area. I even left a luggage bag at the eco lodge and they retuned it to the Marrakesh for me. Thanks Skyhook

Overall, a great experience to remember.
I took part along with my 2 sons who are in their mid-late 20's with varying degrees of fitness and I'm a 60 year old who runs quite a bit. Our group of 10 completed the challenge in just under 24 hours on a bank Holiday weekend, so our walking time was under 11.5 hours which was very intense and all three of us found it very tough, but then we knew it would be a real challenge to break 24 hours including travel. Our Guide Josh is a character and he pushed us on, once he felt we might make it. The organisation from collection to the drop off was all on time.
Hotel in Fort William is fine for an overnight and we arrived early enough to go into the town for a meal. Only 2 downsides, we were dropped at Warrington Bank Quay and were told it would get us into Liverpool, but in fact it should have been Warrington central. The bus we used was a tight fit for the long journey and it was hard to fit our knees into a comfortable position if you wanted to sleep. A more spacious vehicle would help, but overall a great challenge if you're ready for it.
So glad we did it, you'll enjoy it too once you know it's going to be a tough gig 😁

Very well organised. Timings were excellent. Josh was an excellent guide, pushed us hard & motivated us so we made the 24 hours. He had very good advice about the mountains. Thanks to the drivers for safety navigating us around the route. Great weekend.

I loved this trip!! It was so good. Carmilla and Ture (hope I spelled that right) were excellent hosts. Kind and attentive, fun and very knowledgeable. Poor Ture had a baptism of fire to his first trip!
I would have given this a five however, I don't feel there was adequate consideration for bad weather. Whilst I appreciate that the organisers aren't responsible for the weather I feel there could have been better precautions in place. There's not much shelter and it was hard to get warm.
I feel bad only giving a 4 but feel it's fair. I would definitely recommend this trip. It was a fantastic experience and Norway is a beautiful country.
Thank you so much for a memorable, fantastic, experience!!

Brilliant! A great 5 days canoeing. Well organised and the whole group was supported by professional leaders who showed care for the variety of mixed abilities, were always positive and good humoured and very knowledgeable about the local area and its history. I would not hesitate in booking another adventure with them. Great value for money with the right balance between fun, risk and safety.

We had a great trip to unforgettable Macchu Piccu. It was a private tour and we were picked up by a friendly and excellent driver at the hotel. We met our guide, Ernesto, who proved proficient and knowledgeable and told us a lot about Inca culture and the site itself. We (stupidly) forgot to take our passports and he arranged for them to be delivered at the hotel from Cusco! No 5 star review because of the following:
- The hotel in aquas calientes was not satisfactory, the location was not good, there were technical problems and the whole hotel was bare and the breakfast minimal. Rooms and beds were good but certainly not 4 stars.
- The drive in the taxi back to Cusco was filled with people (we booked a private tour) and the driver had an agressive driving style. Both drivers were very friendly but there was a big difference in comfort and safety.

Well the Mountain Leader and Group Drivers were absolutely spot on. The group gelled on the first night and cracked on the next morning. Unfortunately I had to withdraw through fatigue but when I return to complete the 3 Peaks, I will doing in at a more enjoyable pace and take in the Beautiful scenery’s. The 3 day experience is looking appealing and I would hopefully persuade my partner to join me. Im getting older and don’t want to rush as much, maybe a glass or 2 in between the mountains and a good night sleep is more more appealing!

Wow !!! What an experience. One of the best things I have ever done in my
Life . So many emotions so many physical challenges so much mental strength needed . I wanted to do this so bad and I did it but I wholly believe the reason I completed it was because we were lucky enough to have Richard as our guide . That man is absolutely incredible and just the best at what he does . He knows what to say, how to say it and when to say it at just the right moment to push you through . He was our guide our mentor our councillor our mediator he was just fantastic and a real inspiration. If anyone is lucky enough to have Richard as their guide then you are in with the best chance possible doing what you have set out to do . Thankyou Richard from the bottom of my heart you r the best !! I would also like to thank skyhook for such an easy booking transaction and then continued support answering all of our very many emails with questions and concerns . And a big shout out to Darren our driver , this man knows where he’s going and has so much knowledge and interesting information and facts along the way he made the travel all so much more bearable . I am giving skyhook and their fantastic team 5 stars and I can not recommend the 3 peaks challenge enough . Thanks guys

Just completed the 3 peaks this weekend where do I begin with my review so let’s start with just saying how amazing this challenge is, our team guide Richard was such a professional leader insuring that we was all safe at all times and continued to encourage us all along the way he really was a kind man and we was extremely grateful for his guidance, we had 2 lovely drivers Darren (Dazza) and Marco who got us to each mountain in the safest way possible we enjoyed some knowledge from Darren along the way, As a team of 6 ladies travelled up from Portsmouth we was a bit nervous on what to expect but was put at ease straight away. The hotel that was booked for us was wonderful the staff there was so helpful and kind. Food was 10/10 and the hotel was spotless. Overall me and my friends had he most amazing time and enjoyed this challenge. Would definitely recommend booking and recommend using skyhook to book through, they are a very professional company and everything was straightforward. Very happy moutain goat !

Outstanding trip. Our guides and contacts at Freedom Adventures were first class and simply amazing. The trek is a spectacular of wonders and array of challenges that combine to make you treasure every moment. My fellow trekkers were incredible and enhanced the experience for me. If you are on the fence about doing the EBC trek then I can simply say, jump down, grab your back pack and start walking!

Travelled on: Everest Base Camp Hike (16 Day Trip)
My Everest Base Camp trek was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. The sheer beauty of the Himalayas is impossible to put into words — every step of the way was filled with breathtaking views, vibrant local culture, and moments that I’ll never forget.
What truly made this trek exceptional, though, were our guides: Krishna, Ujjwal, and Dichma. Their knowledge, experience, and passion for the mountains were evident from the very beginning. They shared stories, history, and insights about the region that brought the trail to life in a way I never expected. I felt safe, supported, and inspired the entire time.
Whether it was navigating tricky sections of the trail, helping us acclimatize properly, or simply sharing a laugh at the teahouses each night, they were always one step ahead and deeply committed to making sure our group had the best possible experience.
If you're considering the EBC trek — do it. And if you're lucky enough to have Krishna, Ujjwal, and Dichma guiding you, you're in for something truly special.

Truly a trip of a lifetime, what an adventure. Well organised from start to finish. It was everything I hoped for and more. Big shout out for our guide team of Krishna, Ujul and Dikma. These guys worked so hard to ensure we had the best trip and adventure possible, they were knowledgeable, supportive and kept the vibes high all the way. I hope to experience this again one day!

The EBC trip was excellently organised from the beginning to the end. The guides Krishna, Ujal and Dickma from Freedom Adventures took great care of our safety and wellbeing. Reaching the Everest Base Camp was the summit of the trip. The guides’ assistance made this achievement possible. I highly recommend this trip.

We had a great time. Our guides, Krishna and Usal and Dichma (Freedom Tours) were very knowledgeable. They were adept at keeping the group moving even if we divided into 3 groups. Strong English skills and good facts about all the mt tops. We had stunning views and were lucky that it started snowing after EBC. Def will book with Skyhook again.

An amazing adventure of a lifetime to Everest Base Camp! Our experience with Freedom Adventures was unforgettable, led by our guide Krishna and Ujal, supported by Dikman, and porters, who made an outstanding team to guide us there! We were so well looked after the whole way.
Krishna is a very experienced guide, knowledgeable, caring, and went above and beyond to ensure every one in the group was very well looked after. He was very patient and humorous, ensuring a positive energy in the group throughout the trek. Ujal was also excellent and well-experienced, with a deep passion for the mountains, he was also very professional and kind, and will make you feel at ease with everything from start to finish. Dikman was so attentive and helpful, ready support with anything. The porters were also remarkable, they were so reliable, strong, and polite. All in all the whole Freedom Adventures team made the trek so special! The trek itself offers wonderful views and scenery of the Himalayas, walking among some of the highest peaks in the world was humbling and unforgettable! We were lucky with many days of good weather on end, which offered clear views of mountain peaks along the way like Lotse, Ama Dablan and Everest, amongst others. Thank you Freedom Adventures and Skyhook!

The mountain and beauty around it is spectacular
It is very nice trekking experience
The reason for the giving only 2 stars is because we are not very impressed with our guide.
When the weather was bad and my wife was struggling instead of encouraging her he has discourage her and offered to return to the refuge. Although we could have taken more time to reach the summit and stayed extra day at the refuge. That way we could have achieved our goal
Travelled on: Hike Mount Toubkal (4,167m)
The first half (Toubkal) was fantastic, but the second half wasn't as good. Climbing Mt Toubkal is amazing, but the refuge is very grotty. Be prepared to rough it. In contrast, the second half was very touristy. The guide at Ait Benhadou Kasbah was extremely poor (a complete waste of time) and we reported that back to our driver/guide. The driver/guide took us to some very sub-standard places for lunch. We had the impression it was where he made most commission. After a while, we walked out and found our own places to eat. Infinitely better! Other than that he was a nice guy and tried his best. First half 5 stars, 2nd half 2 stars.
Travelled on: Mt Toubkal & Sahara Desert Adventure
Book Mt Toubkal, do NOT book the desert (PRE-Sahara) part… trust me!
I usually don’t write reviews, but in this case I took the time, so others won’t make the same mistake I made. You should read this, it might just save your holiday in the amazing country of Morocco.
Mount Toubkal
This part was amazing. From start to finish it was well organized. Our guides did an excellent job, they were very kind yet sufficiently serious to make us feel safe all the time. The conditions in the refuge are not good (sleeping in rooms with up to 22 people side by side, drops of condensed breath and sweat dripping onto the people in the top bunks, poor toilet situation…) but I think this can be expected at 3207 m above sea level. Make no mistake, the summit hike itself is very hard (we did it with a lot of snow in April). Only 5 out of our group of 12 made it to the summit. So when they write „good fitness required“, please take that serious, also out of fairness towards the rest of the group. One downside of that part of the tour to me is the use of mules which are ascending to the refuge separately. These are not being treated well, they are for example being kicked and beaten (not by our two guides).
„Sahara“
I have travelled and seen a lot. But this part has by far been the worst travel experience and the most extreme tourist exploitation I’ve endured. The three days are not just „long distances of driving“, they are ONLY driving except for one brief stop in Ait Ben Haddou, a few 5 min breaks for photos and one longer lunch break per day.
(Our driver was nice though.)
During these lunch breaks we were brought to predetermined restaurants, whose owners obviously knew the driver and with whom they supposedly had made some kind of agreement. We were not allowed to choose our table, were not allowed to sit outside (even though there was space), but were instead placed in the last darkest corner of the restaurants. The waiters were unfriendly and the food was bad, which is very rare in this country with usually excellent hospitality and delicious food. The thing is that in these places they don’t need to try, because people are literally brought to the table by the driver. On the last day we had had enough, so after we had again been placed in a dark cold room and being denied to sit outside in the sun, we decided as a group that we will leave and look for a different restaurant by ourself. The owner of the place got quite angry and told us that we have to be back in 30 min (what the hell?). It took us one minute and google maps to find a place 200 meters down the road, with significantly better ratings, lower prices, friendly waiters and excellent food.
In Ait Ben Haddou we had less than one hour of time! The guide who was supposed to show us the city did not speak English, he memorised the basic sentences by hard and couldn’t answer any question. It would have been so much better to travel independently and explore this (still very touristic) city by oneself.
Getting to the worst part, the desert. First of all according to most sources online (feel free to check for yourself), Erg Chebbi is NOT part of the Sahara. It is a maximally touristically exploited strip of sand in the Pre-Saharan zone. You will not be visiting the Sahara desert, the tour is only named „Sahara desert adventure“ to attract tourists. The name of this tour is obviously misleading and should be changed. We arrived in the evening and were loaded onto camels. These animals are obviously suffering significantly. One camel was screaming all the time and walking quite unstable, obviously being completely exhausted and extremely afraid. When we asked the guide about that camel, he said that the animal was only young so it „doesn’t know yet how it works“… and then he kicked it. It had scars in its face and was the only camel which had the leash fixed to metal rings put through its nostrils.
While travelling on the camels, there was a lot going on around us. There were SUVs, quads and motorcycles everywhere, driving the dunes unrestricted and thereby destroying them. We stopped briefly to watch the sunset and then continued to the camp. The (many) camps do NOT consist of idyllic tents in the middle of nowhere, they do consist of (many) basic huts with metal doors and without electrical sockets (not necessarily bad, but good to know in advance). We were fed and then there was some basic drumming at the fire. Most people went to bed early since we had to leave the camp at 6 a.m., again by camel. During this camel ride the guide was incredibly unprofessional. Not did he only consider the female members of the group, but at some point started flirting properly (including multiple times touching her calves to „scare“ her) with a girl that must have been around 12 years old. At some point he was riding with her on the same camel. Also did he give the front leash to one of the girls, which made the way back take muuuuch longer.
And when one guy in our group let his water bottle fall of the camel, the guide picked it up, and drank it (what the hell?).
Other people I’ve met have told me about similarly bad experiences in Erg Chebbi/Merzouga. And I’ve spoken to locals across Morocco and they know that this strip of sand is used/abused to milk tourists. It is mass tourism on a scale that I haven’t seen before and you constantly feel it, that you are being processed like a product.
So do yourself a favour and do not book this trip. Book only Mt. Toubkal and enjoy it and the beautiful Atlas mountains to the fullest. Then travel back to Marrakesh and explore other regions of the country either on a different group trip or independently. Morocco has so much to offer, don’t waste your time, money and energy on this… please!
Reply by Atlas Vertical Travel:
Hi Niklas, thanks for taking the time to share. We're very sorry that the Desert section of this trip didn't live up to expectations, but are glad to hear that you had a good trek up Mt. Toubkal. Congratulations on that achievement!
This extended trip with two days in the desert is a popular option for those who want to see some of Morocco's most famous sights in a very short time. We generally find that this is an excellent value for money extension. However, we appreciate that individual perception and experience can be different. We value this sort of feedback, which can be useful to other travellers.
Morocco is a large and diverse country and there's sadly no way around the long driving distances. It's a very different region and experience to the Atlas Mountains and the Toubkal hike. We try to make this clear by indicating the travel hours on the itinerary. Apologies if things felt rushed. The driver does make stops along the way to break the trip and see some popular attractions on the route.
The stops (as on the itinerary) include Ait Benhadou Kasbah, Ouarzazate City, and Rose Valley, which are extremely popular locations that attract thousands of visitors each day. We do understand that it would be good to have more time to explore these places but as a lot is packed into these two days, the team needs to stick to the schedule.
For those hoping for an off-the-beaten-track experience, these destinations are indeed very 'touristy' and we'd agree that in this case, a different itinerary may be preferred. Prices of souvenirs are usually much more expensive at these locations, and most people choose to shop around in Marrakech markets.
As you mentioned, the team stops at pre-selected restaurants for lunch. These restaurants have been chosen based on hygiene standards. There are of course, cheaper alternatives around, but we prefer to stick with the option where we know that the food is prepared in a safe, clean environment with more rigorous inspections. Experience shows it's worth spending a few extra pounds to minimise the risk of upset stomachs. We do feel that this factor could have been better explained by your guide and we apologise for any miscommunication.
It's better to keep the group together for logistical and safety reasons which is why the guides can be hesitant to let guests split up to choose their own restaurant. It usually works better to keep everyone together and use the selected dining option where most people can find something to their liking.
The Erg Chebbi Dunes are some of the tallest in Morocco and are widely considered part of the Sahara Desert. There is a lot of contradictory information on the internet. As Erg Chebbi is right on the western edge of the Sahara, some people may perceive this as not being deep enough in the desert. Again, it comes down to personal perception and expectation. This destination is clear in the itinerary, we leave it to guests to decide if this is the trip for them.
The treatment of camels is and always has been a contentious issue. Our local host does not own or manage the camel rides and unfortunately, doesn't have much control over this activity. We continue to monitor the global concern over this issue and, for the time being, have decided to keep this listed. There is a choice to skip the camel riding and hike 45min- 1hr to the desert camp instead.
I hope this helps a little to address your concerns. Once again, we are very sorry that this sightseeing section of the trip was a negative experience for you. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience as it allows us to work on clarifying the description and making improvements where we can.
Wishing you all the best!

An absolutely fantastic trip from start to finish. The "Riads" on our first and last nights in Marrakesh were fantastic and having two afternoons to explore before the drive to the desert and before going home were nice to have.
Special thanks to Ayoub for being our guide for the whole trip and being so helpful and putting up with us! Also special thanks to Ider and Lahcen for the wonderful food and hospitality in the desert and for looking after us so well.
I'll definitely be back for a longer trip into the desert and for a trip in the mountains!

A fantastic break! Courtney is a brilliant host and the instructors, led by Hitam, are fantastic. The riad was comfortable and the food was great. The surfing and yoga were suitable for beginners and more advanced people too, and the other activities when the wind was too strong for surfing were great too!

Nice trip overall, but too many people in the group during the mountain hike — it would have been better to split into smaller groups and adjust the pace accordingly. Crampons weren’t necessary but still had to be rented for €10. We also weren’t offered the 1.5 liters of water per day that were supposed to be included.
During the Sahara trip, we basically just drove for three days. There were only very short stops for photos, mostly so the driver could take a break. On the first day, we visited Ait Ben Haddou for an hour, and on the second day, we spent an hour at Todgha Gorge.
For 2 out of 3 lunches, we were sent to an all-you-can-eat place, even when we weren’t really hungry — which also ended up being more expensive than ordering à la carte.
Headscarves that normally cost around 20 dirhams (€2) were sold for 120 dirhams (€12) at one stop, even after bargaining.
We arrived in Merzouga around 5 p.m., rode out into the desert on camels, had dinner, and watched a short show (which was interrupted by bad weather). The next morning we got up at 5 a.m., rode the camels back for an hour, and then spent 9 hours driving back to Marrakech.
Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see much apart from the scenery through the car window.
