An incredible 4 day hike on the TDMB with a fantastic fun group. Our guide, Paddy, was great at encouraging all and sharing knowledge of the area. Thanks to Alps Adventures for a wonderful experience.

Our four day hike in Mont Blanc was amazing ., our guide Paddy was the best and we could not have asked for a nicer much of people to hike with .. … hikes were tougher than anticipated but we were truly rewarded by incredible scenery … my one critique would be standard of food in the evenings… no choice and not enough of it !!! And restaurants at top of mountains being closed after an arduous climb was a little disappointing … overall a very memorable experience. .. thanks to Alpes Adventures !!

To say this was the trip of a life time would be an understatement. We loved every minute. Our guid Paddy was the perfect guide, support, friend and companion making this journey a fantastic experience. He was supportive when needed, encouraged us when we struggled and laughed with us over a drink. I will never forget this trip and I’ve already recommended it to lots of people. It went like clock work. Ok the food on the first night and breakfast was a bit disappointing but as a group we got over it. The accommodation was perfect, improving each night. The walks were very challenging and I think this needs to be stressed as one or two of the group didn’t make it but the views and the places were stunning. We were very lucky to have such a good group of people who made this trip so enjoyable. Thank you for helping us book this amazing trip.

What an incredible trip! Everything about our time away was fantastic; the scenery, the food, the rofugio’s, the lake swimming, the wildlife, the companionship, the laughter and ice cream! There are too many highlights to mention. The trek was well paced, with a thoroughly knowledgeable, experienced and personable guide in Mark, and plenty of stops to take pictures and experience the delicious local cuisine. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to get outdoors for 4 days and feel alive. Thanks for such a wonderful time on some stunning mountains.

Whoa! This was quite possibly the hardest thing I have ever done, but Oh my!! It was so worth it. Absolutely brilliant trip, very professionally organised, Mark, our guide was fantastic. He made sure we were informed and safe, great knowledge and expert guidance.
Scenery was epic, our group have now become great friends.
My only critique is possibly that it was hard to determine the level of difficulty and fitness needed on the Skyhook website before the hike. I’m super glad I did some fitness training running up to it, otherwise sections of the hike would have been really difficult. Overall though it’s been fantastic. Can’t wait for our next one!! 👍🏻

This was a fantastic 4 days!! Spectacular scenery, every direction! A really great bunch of people to share it with too.
Our guide Mark was incredible. A fountain of knowledge, shared in a really lovely, chilled out manner. A good base line fitness is needed to feel comfortable and really appreciate the views.

Had the most incredible 4 days with a brilliant bunch of people. Views were just spectacular at every turn. Awe inspiring! Food was delicious (veggie for me)and thought all the refugios were fantastic with really friendly and hard working staff. The Walter Bonnatti was particularly stunning. Mark was the most brilliant guide. His wisdom, experience and humour really helped to unite our group and enrich the whole experience. Just wish we had gone for the full trek. It is important to have a reasonable level of fitness ahead of this to really enjoy it. Highly recommend. Thank you.

Trip of a lifetime! Made even more enjoyable by the professionalism shown by the Skyhook team! Everything from Been picked up at the airport, to the amazing guides and porters who made our summit possible, to the drop off at the airport again. Highly recommended and I as one will be certainly using this very professional collection of individuals again! Thanks for making my dreams come alive!!
Asante sana!!

Amazing experience with a lovely group of people.. Guides Mark and Dom were excellent , patient understanding and knowledgeable. You need a good level of fitness for this trip it can be challenging in parts . Food wasn’t great and there was no real choice .. lunches are organised for you and due to the lack of choice we did ask for something different, this was organised by Mark. Tom who met us at the beginning of the trip kindly made us some sandwiches, however he did make comments which we felt were quite patronising, this attitude was also noted when he met us all at the start of the trip . Overall I would highly recommend this experience……

The trip itself was gorgeous. But more than that, was the company. Mike was not only a knowledgeable and experienced guide - he is the most relaxed and relatable person to have led this journey. It felt like a group of friends going on an adventure. This was a priceless experience. Thanks so, so much!

An amazing adventure. Beautiful scenery and tales to tell at the end. We had a wonderful group and the perfect trip. Sam and Geoff are the best guides. They are just wonderful. Both were very knowledgeable, supportive and kept us all safe and fed. You don’t need as much as you think you need- keep your kit sensible and basic.
It was such a blast!!

Thank you Sam and Geoff

Last week’s 100km paddle across Scotland was everything I’d hoped it would be. Geoff and Sam were the best guides - professional, funny and more like friends by the end of the trip. We had a blast. The weather held off and made way for a cracking adventure through Scotland’s canals and loch’s, from Fort William to Inverness, wild camping along the way. Highly recommended! Book it and have the adventure of a lifetime!

Sept 2023. Age 56 Female. What an amazing trip that was. Our guides Sam and Geoff made everything just so slick. We always felt safe informed very well fed and entertained. The kit provided was adequate and manageable to transport on the canoes. Dont overpack! All you need has to fit in a 60L dry bag inc tent and sleeping bag. It's do-able. Midge spray and nets are a must! Every trip will no doubt be different due to whos on it and what weather you have but ours was just perfect 👌 Thank you.

Norway….you do not disappoint. This trip is an ideal way to see the Fjords and nature closer than on a tourist boat or cruise ship. Our guide Lukas was more like a friend to the group, helpful, informative with a calming reassuring approach to our trip. Highs of the trips……seeing the seals, Deer and Mountain Goats and of course….my kayaking partner catching a cod.

The trip was super nice. I liked a lot the guide Alena that provided us a lot of instructions and guidance and support. The organisation was very good and all details were available.
The group was very united and we had excelent time during the trip.
Travelled on: Tour du Mont Blanc Highlights
A truly amazing time - the group, the mountains, the views, the weather and most of all our guide, Alena, who looked after us so well, provided lots of information on the way and really supported the whole group and all the different levels of ability.
The trek itself isn’t a walk in the park, not for your average Joe anyway. With that said I enjoyed the challenge, everyone made it up and down again (several times!) so there is as element of being able to achieve more than you thought. That’s my experience anyway.
The views are to die for, so don’t forget to look up 😉😊
Travelled on: Tour du Mont Blanc Highlights
Amazing hikes every day! Our guide, Christel, was fantastic - there were times when I did not think I would make it up the mountain but she set a good pace and I felt good (but tired!) when I got to the top. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the food on the trip (especially breakfast) is not the best but if you know that going in you can set your expectations. I found electrolyte tablets to be very helpful (dissolves in your drinking water) and make sure you stay hydrated and snack along the way. Great trip, highly recommend!
Travelled on: Tour du Mont Blanc Highlights
What an amazing adventure! It was definitely challenging but worth it for the views and sense of achievement. Christel was our guide- she is a truly inspirational individual. Christel has the patience of a saint and without her, I don't think I would have made it up some of those mountains! We were blessed with fabulous weather which made the views all the more stunning. Met many wonderful people and I would definitely do it again. Thank you!
Travelled on: Tour du Mont Blanc Highlights
This trip for me was fantastic! I personally feel it was challenging and demands a good level fitness to endure the long days of hiking in steep mountainous terrain repeated over the full four days. But you get rewarded by most fabulous views that take your breath away and makes it well worth the effort.
Our guide Charles was fantastic. He was helpful, friendly, supportive and kept our group together all the way through. His knowledge about the area was brilliant so kept us entertained with interesting facts. Accommodation and food wise, it was good, we had clean rooms and good food. Overall my experience on this trip was amazing and totally recommend it anyone looking for a great adventure.

It was well run and we packed a lot into a short time
There were 7 in our group and our guide Sandra was excellent. Everything ran smoothly and she made sure we had a great experience as well as keeping us safe.

Travelled on: Tour du Mont Blanc Highlights
The trip was fantastic, very well organised, seamless from start to finish. Paddy, what can I say, the best, he was a brilliant guide., He enabled the group to enjoy the hiking at their own pace, which was a pleasure. Great bunch of people on the hike, really enjoyed everyone's company. The scenery was mind blowing. I would highly recommend the Tour Du Mont Blanc. It has been my first hike with Skyhook, hopefully it won't be my last.
Travelled on: Tour du Mont Blanc Highlights
Definitely 5 stars.
I found the communication from the time of booking to the end of the trip first class.
The trip itself was phenomenal.
Our guide Paddy was amazing.. he was very approachable and would always update us if anything was going to change.
I would say that you definitely need a decent level of fitness for this trip as it is challenging in parts but as long as you are aware of that and train accordingly then you won’t have a problem.
If you haven’t already booked then don’t hesitate.
It’s the best adventure ever.

Hi!
I liked the trip. It was well organized abou eating and spending the nights.
I have hiked in many countries and many trails and there have been more than one guide. So there have been two different groups of hikers, faster and slower. I wonder, why here was'n so.
Travelled on: Tour du Mont Blanc Highlights
It was amazing! Everything was great!
Little bit confusion about what the day will bring and when, specially with the hights. Some people was informed better than us. But it didn’t matter after all, huts were great, food was great, everything was working great and we had so great hike. Amazing, just amazing, THANK YOU !!!!
Travelled on: Tour du Mont Blanc Highlights
The best experience of my life. Houssain was excellent in organising everything from the Toubkal climb, to my excursion into the Sahara desert. All queries were answered very quickly and helpfully. The guides provided for both Toubkal and the desert were extremely helpful, and the cook for the Toubkal expedition was amazing. Highly recommend this trip to everyone.
Travelled on: Mt Toubkal & Sahara Desert Adventure
Having looked at all the other reviews, I’d like to add so useful information. The first night’s accommodation did sell beer and wine and we all sat in the sun watching the glaciers and mountains - truly amazing! We shared a 14-person dorm (male and female) - it was totally unusual but absolutely fine, and we all slept well (but do take ear plugs). Day two we stopped in a mountain hut for “elevenses” that sold delicious cakes and coffee. Later that afternoon we stopped at two other mountain huts for drinks (cash only). The only reason we could stop is because we started walking at 6.30am and “cracked on” - so if you only wake at 8am and then just “potter”, you probably won’t have time to stop as often as we did. Our guide Mark was brilliant and he knew all the places to stop (water and food). In conclusion - it’s a short holiday, so get up early, don’t carry too much food or water (Mark told us when we could fill up), relax and enjoy the stunning alpine scenery!

What an epic adventure. Stunning landscapes and wildlife. John our guide was a excellent. Sharing a wealth of knowledge and guiding us all safely to the summit and back.
Travelled on: Mt Kenya (4,985m)
Our guide John was fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the local wildlife and flora. He managed our team well, even though there were some very different fitness levels he still managed to get everyone up the mountain.
The reason I give 4 starts is because I personally found the food to be very bland. I think maybe the team were trying to cater to westerners to much but we would have loved some Kenyan and African food. And less processed meats like hot dog and ham.
But I’d like to re-emphasise that I’d recommend this trip to anyone interested in mount Kenya
Travelled on: Mt Kenya (4,985m)
Still buzzing from this trip! We were blessed with fabulous weather in early September, and spectacular views at every turn. Thanks to our great guide Laurence for ensuring the hike was enjoyable and fun for us all. It's certainly a challenge at times (3 very steep ascents over the mountain passes) - you will enjoy the trip so much more if you are fit and used to long hikes carrying your backpack. I found it frustrating at times waiting for the slower hikers in our group to catch up ( 2 people did drop out after day 2 which improved things considerably) - our hike would have been better managed with 2 guides perhaps?
However, overall it was a great experience with a fun bunch of people and I would not hesitate to recommend.

Amazing trip from start to finish, very well organised. Our guide Abdo set a great pace, always answered any questions we had and got us all to the summit. Make sure to visit Marrakech for a few days also. Will be booking more tours through skyhook in the future.

We’ve just returned from our amazing 2 day hike up Toubkal mountain, yes it was tough at times but I couldn’t fault our experience .
We were picked up from our accommodation in Marrakesh, driven to Imlil, where we stayed in a riad, clean, comfy and good food. After breakfast the next day, we met our guide, Abdul, he was excellent!! his english was good, he chatted to us all through the hike, pointing out places of interest. He paced the walk perfectly, I don’t think all of our group we’d have made it to the summit if he hadn’t set the pace so perfectly on the 2nd day, which started with breakfast at 3.30am!! The views at the summit made the early start so worth while, amazing. I would highly recommend this trip!!!

I really enjoyed the trip. It was hard and rewarding at the same time. Our group was great and our guides Alena and Min always made sure that no one was lagging behind and set a pace for us. Day 2 was the hardest as it was the longest. To anyone thinking of doing this trip be prepared to share space (dormitories on all 3 nights) and have no hot shower, be physically prepared as I felt that I wasn’t, even with doing weekend hikes and going to gym regularly. Even with all challenges, I would do it all again without a doubt!
Travelled on: Tour du Mont Blanc Highlights
I had been so excited about booking this trip to experience the Mont Blanc trail...and then when i found out this weekend feel on the UTMB, even more so.
The guides Alena and Min were fabulous as we were a big group of 14 with many different levels of fitness. i do though wish that with this big group that there had been another guide to support. I am partially deaf and have always been uncomfortable in large groups...the guides were very happy to repeat themselves...numerous times, to make sure that i had the information i needed AND to allow me to see a friend running the UTMB on the early hours of the last day.
4 out of 5 stars NOT due to the experience given by the guides AT ALL!! They couldnt have done anymore. 4 out of 5 for the company not catering for such a large and varied group with difference experience and fitness levels. Lastly because i felt very put on the spot when an alternative route was suggested for the 3rd day because of the UTMB. I felt bad for the guides for having to make this suggestion and just felt awful about being adamant i wanted to stay with the original route. I booked for the experience BUT the UTMB was a bonus for booking.
I travelled with a friend who had her birthday on the 3rd day, eveyone made this very special for her and i am sure she will not forget this experience in the mountains.
I will be back in the mountains again soon - truly beautiful thank you

Just completed a 4 day walking tour on Tour Du Mont Blanc. I have have to compliment Alps Adventures on their professional guiding and going out of their way to accommodate every situation. Our tour guide Paddy was good fun, professional, and made our walking holiday a trip of a lifetime!

This was an amazing trip from start to finish . We had flight delays due to air traffic control problems at Heathrow and Louise was amazing at dealing with getting us from Geneva airport to the first hut even at 9pm at night. We were meet by our guide Paddy who was amazing funny but very professional. Paddy guided us up to the hut in the dark ( which was beautiful) where we meet most of our fellow hikers . This trip was very well organised , the food and accommodation was excellent. The views from the walks were outstanding and took your breath away at times. You can walk at your own pace so no pressure. I would highly recommend Skyhook and Alps Adventure which I will be using for my next adventure.

What an amazing experience this trip was, although the accommodation was slightly quirky in places! Our group was super special, a mix that just gelled, and our guide, Christel, was absolutely fantastic - always insightful and joining in with our group antics. The weather was a bit awkward for the first two days, which meant a slight reroute, but morale was always at a high with much fun, hilarity, laughter and support for each other throughout the whole trip. The last day was by far the best with the stunning views and scenery finally visible through a break in the cloud cover. I couldn't have asked for a better time on my first ever hiking experience and would absolutely recommend this to anyone considering it. I can't wait to meet up with our little group again for further hiking adventures.

A great trip which I thoroughly enjoyed........despite last minute changes to the route and therefore accommodation, due to unseasonably cold, wet and snowy weather, the route was challenging enough but doable. All the logistics worked well with our quite brilliant guide Christel smoothing our way - she was capable, knowledgeable, participative and supportive - we could not have asked for better. Hostel accommodation and food were decent enough. What really made it so much fun was the brilliant group of individuals that were thrown into each other's company - much laughing and many happy memories. Thank you!

The tour was phenomenal. We had a few hiccups with the weather in day 3, but the fact that we had an amazing group of positive people, made the either not to matter.
The tour is very well planned, and we are really well taken care of.

It has been a fantastic 4 day experience for me. The view is amazing and the team was wonderful. It was a delight to meet these lovely people. Our guide Mark was absolutely amazing. Also despite the fact that i was only able to finish two days due to some circumstances, I really enjoyed the trip. I am also very thankful to Tom and Louise for being so helpful. The costumer service was perfect and everything went beyond my expectations. I would definitely want to do the trip again.

Totally amazing team! Four of us were unable to be there for the pick up due to flight cancellations but Lou and Tom made it possible for us to push thru and meet the group. It was such amazing customer service since they really didn't have to go all the way out. The whole team is professional, friendly and amazing at what they do. They really take care of you the whole way.
Our guide Mark was amazing as well! He got to know everybody and kept the group together, making sure to help anybody who needs it. He knows how to lead the hike and paces it well according to your group. He was really motivating and friendly. He also can really read the group and each person well so he can in a way anticipate what the group needs. He's very knowledgeable and it's a joy to talk to him.
Overall the hike itself is a challenge (it's my first major hike and due to illness wasn't able to condition as much as I would have wanted to before it) but the guide and the team behind it have planned it in a way that you have a great experience. The views were magnificent and each day was different both in the trail you walked and the views you would see. It was a great first experience of hiking for several days, staying in mountain lodges, Alpine weather and views (gorgeous views, treacherous weather) and I highly recommend it!

Absolutely stunning but so much harder than I expected. My first mountain experience and I underestimated the terrain.

Being part of a small team meant we all got to know each other a bit better and was wonderful to meet such an amazing fun people.
Wild camping was not my favourite. The rain meant we had to camp in a very wet area with puddles and mud. Mosquitoes along with a tick bite made us have a full experience of wild camping!

Great trip, enjoy the experience and Fred, our guide was great, patient and accommodating when needed. This trip is not for everyone, rain, mosquitos, wet clothes are to be expected. Kayaking suites/jacket and pants provided, expect to carry everything on your kayaks, few 4 dry bags of 15 lts (bought 4 of 23 ltrs to allow reshaping) work well. Proper outdoor experience. Tip.

Wow. Emily and I have been looking forward to this trip for over two years and as the time approached and the weather reports suggested rain all week we were a little anxious. From minute one at the pick up Terry welcomed us with motivational smiles and as the rest of the team arrived we were soon into introductions and chatter. Our guides Lianne and Stephen were amazing. Instructions and advice on what to pack in what container were simple, getting the canoes ready for the water was easy and we were on our way within an hour from being dropped at the canal. Whilst day one was "wet" we still managed to get some social time under the tarp with drop of wine. The weather then turned in our favour.... A wet lunch or two followed but the evenings at camp became very sociable and the entire team got on brilliantly. The whole trip was a team effort, pitching and striking camp, cleaning up, loading the boats and portaging were made so easy because everyone chipped in. The meals were fabulous and no one went hungry. The canoeing was amazing and the sailing even more so. Thank you Lianne and Stephen for a fabulous experience.

Just got back from an amazing summit to Kilimanjaro, absolutely faultless trip, guides Derek and Augustine were amazing, encouraging and very professional, only thing I would probably do differently is book a toilet, now we didn’t initially because we thought someone has to carry it, but it gets emptied at each camp and especially in the middle of the night if you have to get up it’s difficult to navigate where the toilets are in each camp. I celebrated half a century during the trip and the chef even baked a huge cake iced cake and they all sang to me at night, totally memorable experience which I will never forget, definitely take ear plugs, vitamin C tabs to flavor water, take some nice treats to share around and most of all be kind, these guys work hard and earn little so tip whatever you can at the end. We booked the hot springs and waterfall tour as we had 1 day spare and didn’t fancy traveling 5 hrs each way to do safari, roads are slow and a bit crazy so we were glad we just booked a day tour after.

My fiancé and I participated in the 4-day Norwegian Kayaking and Hiking trip between 17th - 20th August. Our guide, Frederik, was extremely knowledgeable and supportive throughout, and the trip was suitable for all levels as we were kayaking beginners. We learned kayaking skills, how to fish, and facts about Norway and the breathtaking landscape around us. Our highlight was kayaking on the famous Lysefjord, including around Smuggler’s Cave and Pulpit Rock; meeting a great group of people; and tasting reindeer sausages (delicious). Would highly recommend this trip to others 10/10. Thank you :)

Our group got along well and had a lot of laughs together....which made the steep climbs easier to get up.

Me and my friend had a brilliant trip Karim our guide up the mountain was really insightful and the guide from imlil to merzouger was great we really got on well with him and he couldn’t do enough for us.
We have had an amazing week and Mustfa the guy who organised it all has been helpful and responsive.
It’s mid august now and I plan to go back in February to do the winter accent.
Absolutely great week for such a great price.

Incredible, nicest food, nicest people, best guide (abdul). Felt safe, happy, excited, challenged and really looked after. It was the hardest thing I have ever done, but an experience I will never forget. We had a great group who we really made friends with as well as the team looking after us, we really felt the love the whole time from everyone. They go above and beyond. They even presented my best friend with a birthday platter up in base camp which made her cry, it was an unforgettable kindness and we will treasure our time in the Atlas mountains! :)

It was an excellent holiday and guide.
Because where the tents and cooking equipment and food is stored , not very far away from camp site , I do feel it would be better if this was already at the camp site rather than trying to squeeze it all in the kayaks.

Simply stunning scenery. The kayaking and hiking were fantastic even though we had two days of rain and fog. The third day of kayaking in the sunshine was sublime. Our guide was a credit to the company - so lovely, kind and attentive. The wild camping fab although I was absolutely freezing and slept badly because of this - make sure you take a good quality, warm sleeping bag!

This adventure will inspire and humble you. While it is described as suitable for beginners, and is doable for those who are inexperienced but fit it will be a challenge. Do yourself a favour training on big, steep hills. I can say with certainty that if you do book this trip you will see splendid sights, feel ridiculously accomplished at the end of each day and meet some wonderful, like-minded people. If you’re lucky enough to be guided by the sweet, strong and masterful Christel this trip will be one that you will talk about for ages!

Amazing experience! Had a very memorable and fun time especially during the hike. Such beautiful views and landscape. The food, culture and especially the people are nice. We were in a small group but very well taken care of. Our guides Hassan and Hicham are incredible. Also special mention to our cook (forgot his name) and his 'assistant' Elias for all the special meals they prepared during the entire hike. And to our mule who carried the heavy stuff. Hike was a bit challenging but manageable. Mostly hot during the day but plenty of stores selling water along the trail. Gets a bit chilly during the early morning ascent to the summit. Shower is available in the refuge. Definitely recommended! :)
The Dades gorge and Sahara experience was nice as well. Be prepared for a long drive but plenty of stops for a bit of break. Beautiful scenery along the way. The camping facility in the Sahara was better than I expected, has beds and private toilet/shower. Slept with the doors opened though since it was a bit hot inside at night (August).
Definitely recommend trip for a very memorable experience if you are feeling quite adventurous but still have the amenities of comfort :)

Absolutely fantastic trip and great value for money. Our guide Geoff was very professional and we felt very safe in his hands.

Would definitely recommend.

Ah man! Just home from this fabulous trip - a last minute impulse booking which turned into a wonderful week away in nature. We had a small, perfectly formed group expertly led by Geoff, who also cooked good wholesome food for us. Plentiful food, great kit, wonderful starry nights and epic views - we were lucky with the weather but the midges weren’t anything like as bad as feared. Definitely do it if you’d like to get away from it all ✅

Really enjoyed this adventure through the Beautiful Scottish Highlands in the river Spey! Our guide Scott was absolutely fantastic, warm and friendly and encouraging. As well as being knowledgeable and passionate about the history and wildlife of the area he took the time to coach us with the skills we would need. Also very thoughtful with the very tasty high quality camp food. And catered very well for the vegans and vegetarians in the group . For me I wanted to improve my canoe skills having done the great Glen trail previously , and on this trip I wanted to experience grade 1 and 2 water / rapids that the river Spey provides. Which I certainly got, very exciting! if you're a beginner I would recommend talking to in your Element about what this entails, they are very helpful. The last day paddling out to Spey bay was a real highlight, wildlife is amazing!

In the words of Tina Turner ‘Simply The Best’ - one of the best experiences I’ve ever had and will live with me forever. As a 71 year old marathon runner, this new experience was challenging and, with the guidance and mentorship of our amazing guide Paul whose knowledge and awareness of working to the strengths of a team, we were able to complete the course successfully. In golf terms I’m on the ‘back nine’ in life but I would like to leave a legacy that these well organised challenges are not just for the young - the importance of taking part, overcoming any fears , the camaraderie when forming a bond with your fellow climbers and the support given to each other to complete the course- fantastic event, well organised and I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to challenge themselves- I guarantee you won’t be disappointed
Travelled on: Tour du Mont Blanc Highlights
From the pick up to drop off, the overall experience of this tour was fabulous! Our guide, Paul, was a class act, so knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. He had to with our group! :) The refugios and food were fantastic, but please don't expect luxury accommodations. These were dormitory style however all was very comfortable. Food served and purchased along the way was also very good. An amazing experience and might even look at doing another tour next year! One note, I would not recommend this tour for beginner hikers.

Had a great time, Hiking through some of the best scenery in Europe. Visiting villages and getting amazing vistas. Paul Spackman our guide is great.

Would recommend this tour and intend on doing another.

Despite the absolutely terrible weather - unrelenting rain and strong winds - our guide Rebecka was always cheerful, positive and helpful. Highlights were swimming in the fjord and diving for clams.
Lovely group of people, who made being soggy for 3 days pretty pleasant.
Travelled on: Hike, Kayak and Wild Camp the Norwegian Fjords
We were a bit unlucky with the weather as a named storm came through for the days we were wild camping but we had a fantastic group and leader and made the best of challenging conditions. It was physically tough but extremely beautiful and I can’t thank our guide Rebecka enough for going above and beyond to keep smiles on our faces. Be prepared for less than ideal weather but don’t let that stop you - this was a stunning trip with a great group. A highlight was the trek to Pulpit’s Rock and being in a cloud when we got to the top 🤣

Harder than you might think, especially the second day, climbing about 1000m up and then down 2500! The descent sure is tiring on old knees! Make sure you are reasonably fit for a challenging but achievable challenge, and the chance to look down on all of North Africa!

It was a great 4 days of hike. with Tom and Mark. I kept asking so many questions related to different peaks, hikes, tallest mountains, and whatnot and they were so generous to answer them all time and again. I would definitely recommend everyone to go with them. Seamless arrangement and all the required information is given beforehand and hence you don't need to be worried about anything.
Travelled on: Tour du Mont Blanc Highlights
From someone who hasn’t ‘Hiked’ before- This has been one of my favourite ever experiences hands down.
Tour guides:
Excellent knowledge, interactive, friendly and extremely organised. We saw how another competitor group operated and it was clear as day that Alps adventures were so much better, from
Having lunches organised on arrival- to seamless check ins at the lodges. No stress or hassle at any point. 10/10. Food was great at every stop over.
Tom has clearly perfected this trip over time and I literally have 0 faults. - Makes time and effort to interact with everyone.
Mark- again very knowledgeable - easy to talk to, walked with people at their own pace throughout- a comforting character. Both men a credit to this adventure, you both made it special!
The views:
I have no words. Felt like I was expecting a Dragon to fly over an ice mountain! Indescribable - I’ve been to the grand canyon and got bored after 30 minutes ‘“it really is just rocks everywhere” but this place is something else. Truly mesmerising . I would encourage you to remember to look around you at all times- it’s very easy to just keep your eyes on the floor in the direction which you are walking. Remember to embrace the views!
Company- the guys and girls on the tour were second to none. Made friends for life- I feel I could turn up in Holland or Sweden just to have a coffee with some of the guys after a year and nothing would have changed. Really beautiful people.
Everyone is like minded- all there for an adventure and a great time. Some people in pairs, some solo travellers. Take ear buds! Prepare for snoring- likelihood someone will but all character building! :p
Most importantly- Prepare for a brilliant adventure, full of memories.

Travelled on: Tour du Mont Blanc Highlights
Such a wonderful, special few days. Some truly beautiful scenery and a real sense of accomplishment to have have canoed some 90k+ across Scotland.
I had kayaked before but not canoed much but picked it up easily. Our guides Geoff and Sam were great, kept us safe and gave us great tips and guidance and pushed us on when we needed it. Their communication was really clear - we knew what was happening throughout the day and they updated us when the weather had other ideas!
We got so lucky with the group - a really brill 10 people from various walks of life. The final day we all swam in Loch Ness together which was so great. Well done Helena for instigating the morning swims! I’m so glad I experienced this with those guys.
Sam was a great cook and we had more than enough food throughout the day. It would have been good to see more local produce used perhaps. And snacks - nuts/ healthier options in addition would be good.
But these are minor points - I wouldn’t let that put you off as it’s a truly wonderful experience. One not to be forgotten.
Ps - top tip: Inverness Cabs deliver alcohol near to camp on the final night - if you have a bit of a wine-loving group like we did. A well deserved reward at the end!

What an amazing trip! Sam and Geoff were brilliant guides, (knowledgeable, chatty and terribly sarcastic!) the scenery was amazing and I feel a huge sense of achievement in completing it but I have to say the group made this trip for me, they were funny, friendly and fierce and it made the whole experience even better for me as a solo traveler.
Highly recommended trip, just do it you won’t regret it.

I loved this adventure from start to finish. We paddled through some of the finest scenery Scotland has to offer and each night had an exciting new wild camping spot to look forward to. Our guides Sam and Geoff were simply excellent. They looked after us, fed us and entertained us while they made us feel safe on the water at all times. Sam has an astonishing amount of energy and is so friendly. Geoff had a reassuring amount of calmness and expertise and become very popular with the group. My favourite parts of the trip were bonding with the rest of the group and wild swimming in the lochs every morning.

The description of the trip is accurate. It was a really beautiful hike! I’m a solo traveler and the group was lovely and welcoming. AlpsAdventures, the local company who run the tour, communicated well before the trip with some really useful videos on the route, what and how to pack, and how to use walking poles. Our guide, Paul was really knowledgable, friendly, kind, enthusiastic and engaging. He looked after us extremely well. The food was good and plentiful, my highlight was the homemade cake (made by Louise, one of the people who run AlpsAdventures - much appreciated thank you!)

A wonderful trip - this was my first as a solo female (2nd with Skyhook) and I was looked after so well. Our guide was John who has 25 years experience on the mountain and was so knowledgeable and checked in with us with great advice every step of the way. His passion for his job and the local area is clear and he was able to give us interesting and useful information all the way along which made the trip another level. He is a font of knowledge about plants, animals, geography, local conservation and communities. We were also joined by an incredible team of 6 porters who couldn’t have thought of any more lovely little touches - the Wi-Fi hut (toilet), tablecloth over the table for meals, such great food and hot water bottles at night - it was definitely an added luxury we were not expecting. The campsites were in the most scenic places and photos just don’t do it justice. Summit night was tough but John kept us going - pole pole, and we all summited at sunrise before the clouds came over. Communication was good and I felt safe and confident at all times. If you are considering this trip you should go for it! I’m already looking at what I can do next…

A few days packed with adventure, delicious food and great people. I absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants to explore the outdoors, camping and kayaking. Throughout the trip our guide Lukas has ensured that we are comfortable in our kayaks giving us all the knowledge we need before we went exploring the fjords, cooking us delicious food, patiently answering the millions of questions we had and sharing the local culture.
I had such a great time! Planning to go back and explore Norway more soon.

Had a great trip! Tom was an excellent guide and had a great small group of lovely people. This was my first multi-day hike and first time carrying a pack, so I wasn’t sure how I would find it, but it exceeded my expectations. Beautiful scenery, lot of up and down hills, but manageable with a good level of fitness. The accommodation (and showers and toilets) are hostel-like, ie shared, which takes me back to my youth, but for 3 nights totally cool, and also makes it quite a sociable. I would recommend!
Travelled on: Tour du Mont Blanc Highlights
I recommend the trip for anyone who wants to experience great views, meeting interesting people, and get really sweaty together as a team. It’s lots of up and downs so I recommend unexperienced participants to practice a little at home first. Maybe a day hike with backpack to test how joints and shoes feels. I really enjoyed this adventure! Our guide Tom let us walk in our own pace which made a huge difference, some of us just got a longer rest at the beautiful sceneries.

Wow what an adventure! Fantastic trip from start to finish. Our guide, Tom, was incredibly experienced and was evidently popular with all the local hotspots! I travelled alone and apparently our group was smaller than usual but such lovely people to get to know. Beautiful hikes each day, lots of uphill and downhill to be expected in the mountains, but we could go our own pace and plenty of stops along the way to take in the views or enjoy a drink/snack. Well fed and watered in the hostels. Highly recommend and thank you Tom for bringing the energy and good vibes!

Excellent guides. Great organisation. Could have done with more reference to ability level as one member of group was seriously lacking whilst others far more able. Food lacking in freshness. On two occasions given tinned fruit which was fermented. I’m gluten free and was given an apple instead of real alternative at one point. But all in all it was a great trip and as some one with a normal, not extreme level of fitness it was very much achievable. All accommodation was clean. Never enough toilets though!

I was always 100% confident in them and despite some windy situation on Loch Ness always felt safe and knew they had it all under control. We were 11 people from very different backgrounds and many with no canoe experience at all. Sam and Charlie were great at showing us how to manage the canoes and we all got the hang of it quickly. Can 100% recommend Good2Go Adventures for anyone that is interested in doin this great trip.

The Tour was well designed and balanced. The overall description and difficulty level were accurate.
We were lucky to have a great guide, Barbara Deliere. She was very professional, encouraging, giving attention to everyone equally and creating cohesion in the group.

I am happy to recommend the tour to anyone interested.

My wife and I went on this trip, we combined it with 3 day Toubkal so as we finished in Imlil, our tour was the reverse way around. Our driver Youssef picked us up from our hotel in Imlil and we set off to . It was just the 3 of us for the whole week. A nice AC car getting to know Youssef as the we travelled from place to place. What a great guy! Certainly a friend for life.
Very well organised by Atlas Vertical and Lahouceine. All the accommodation was good, maybe the last night in Marrakesh could have been better (unclean room)
Lots of memories across all the places we visited. Highlights, tedra gorge, Sahara (ensure you get luxury camp - check with Skyhook, basic in my opinion is awful, we transfered - thanks to Lahouceine) and Casablanca - fantastic mosque
Honestly, a trip of a lifetime made better by meeting Youssef.
This is a must do!
Thanks Lahouceine and Youssef

Our guide Paul was brilliant - really knowledgeable of the routes and taking everyone’s abilities into consideration.

Just finished the Tour of Mont Blanc 4 day trip covering Italy, Switzerland and France via Alps Adventures through Skyhook.
The trip was fantastic from the organisation, the amazing guide Paul and great company that made it a great break away.
It was tough in parts especially carrying your own kit each day (not something I was used to) but Paul kept the pace manageable even on the big uphills!
Poles can be hired and I would highly recommend doing this for €10 as I think it would be unmanageable without. The hostels were clean and food got better as the trip went on, and always nice to finish the day with a beer.
Highly recommend for solo travellers as well as couples or friends. Need a reasonable level of fitness as the days were circa 4 hours (day1), 8 hours (days2&3) and 5 hours trekking (on day 4).

What an incredible trip. Alps Adventures were amazing, the itinerary the schedule the whole experience will stay with me forever. Paul our guide was the best we could have wishes for. His knowledge, experience, humour, it all made the trip complete. We stopped so many times so he could tell us about the landscape, the plants, flowers and trees. Without Paul, the trip would have been great. With him, it was amazing.

The trip was perfect start too finish. Paul is a phenomenal man, his knowledge, care and experience is second too none. You’ll learn about different plants/trees, environmental and climate changes that he’s supper passionate about. As well as really supporting & looking after the group as a unit wether your super fit or taking it easier.
I do recommend that you make sure you are fit & can realistically walk for hours with steep ascents & descents (it isn’t a walk in the park)
Depending on the time you go obviously, but pack as little & light as poss (pants are good for 2 days at least 😉) take snacks and light water bottle, lots of opportunities too fill up.
The hiking is hard & you do spend a lot of time looking at the persons feet in front of you, but please remember too look up and take in the views there out standing.
Walking poles where a game changer!
Thank you so much Paul & co

Just returned from an amazing 4 day trip. Never done anything like this before but will definitely be signing up for another one. Paul was a brilliant guide very informative about nature and the area. Worth every penny. 👍

It was a fantastic, well managed trip. The guide Tom was brilliant, he used his experience to deal with all abilities, and all personalities well, with his odd and hilarious jokes he made the whole experience joyful.

An awesome trip, stunning scenery. Our guide Tom really made the trip, made us laugh, kept spirts high, and ensured everyone achieved what they wanted from the trip. A fabulous group of people, and we laughed and talked the whole way. Would highly recommend and we are already looking to book another trip next year. Definitely 5 stars ⭐️

Tom was excellent and very helpful. Experienced troubleshooter! As he says, to enjoy the hike everyone has to chip in and what a group it is was. Fun all the way. Thanks you all.

I was quite apprehensive about this trip as I’ve never been on an organised tour before. However our guide Tom was great at making everyone feel comfortable and relaxed and fostering a strong team spirit. Our group was full of mixed abilities but everyone was so lovely and friendly that I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thanks Tom and everyone!

A truly incredible experience. Well organised from start to finish. Our guide Marcos was absolutely perfect, he gave us a great balance of guidance but freedom to enjoy the mountains. We had an amazing group and would encourage anybody to book with skyhook

Wow what a trip, well organised, amazing scenery and great leadership.
Sam and Cam (our guides) took time to make everyone comfortable and confident in the canoes, cooked fab food in camp and made sure we were all looked after.
Thanks Sam and Cam, you’re super stars

From start to finish our trip was amazing. In total together with my wife another couple joined us in Marrakesh for the pick up and together with our guide Joal we started the trip. Hotel in Imlil was great for the 1st evening. Lovely little village. Day 2, after breakfast we started (all 5 of us) our trek to base camp, approx 2000m climb taking in breathtaking views of the atlas mountains. Lunch was great prepared by our own chef who also looked after our luggage on the mule. After 6h or so we arrived at base camp. A very clean hostel where approx 100 or so people stay to summit Mt Toukbal in the morning. Again amazing dinner prepared by our own chef.
At 4am after a breakfast the final 1000m was ahead of us. Not going to lie, it was tough, much steeper than the day before. After 4h we made it. What a view! Amazing!!! Well worth the tough climb.
We climb down to base camp for lunch then walled back to Imlil. Again, quite tough on the legs, but we made it! A final night with our group in Imlil hotel before departing on the morning. Atlas Vertical (local company) were amazing with Lahouceine on what's app every step if needed.
WiFi not great in base camp, I suggest buying additional sim card or adding data locally in Marrakesh.
Great trip. Highly recommended
Travelled on: Hike Mount Toubkal (4,167m)
This was one of the best things I have ever done! An utterly amazing experience, the views were out of this world. What made the trip was our fantastic guide Barbara who was the most inspiring, caring, motivational guide we could have asked for. Her support and guidance was outstanding. She did this with humour and kindness ensuring everyone in the group was keep safe at all times. Everything worked like clockwork. Would highly recommend the trip to anyone! Just brilliant! Skyhook communications was great. Would definitely use this company again. Here’s to my next adventure!

5 stars isn’t enough for our guide Barbara! The tour (4 days around Mont Blanc) itself was lovely, challenging, and unforgettable. The lodging at refuges provided what you’d need on the road for rest! The views were breathtaking! All of that was amplified by our guide’s patience, encouragement, support, aid, and so much more! Our group (that was fantastic) varied in skill and speed and Barbara did more and beyond to be there for all of us. :) Many thanks to the guide! And I highly recommend the tour!
Travelled on: Tour du Mont Blanc Highlights
Fabulous Trip, Absolutely stunning views and Barbara our guide went out of her way every day to make sure everyone had the support they needed and the best time!
Every refuge we stayed in or stopped at had the most special views to take in. The refuges are very basic with one set meal and you are sharing a bathroom, so just be prepared not to be too fussy and just ride the journey - the experience of being right in the heart of the mountains is definitely worth it.
My advice to others would be:
1. Keep your backpacks light - only bring what is on the kit list - you really need less than you think.
2. It is a strenuous hike in parts - when you are climbing 900m in 2-3 hours it can get steep, so make sure you've got a basic level of fitness, and do some practice hikes with hills before you come away to check you are comfortable with the level of fitness required
3. Bring ear plugs - when you get 14 people sleeping in one dorm in a refuge - even though everyone tries to be quiet to sleep it can be challenging.

This is an absolutely brilliant trip! I’m not an experienced kayaker but had a great time, learned a lot and will definitely be on the water again soon.
Due to the difficult weather, the itinerary did change, but in no way did I feel like we’ve missed out. Each day was a new adventure, with something new to experience. The landscape and wildlife are just stunning, especially the seals.
Billy, Chris, and Pete are excellent guides and I always felt safe. Each day was planned to make the best of the weather (which was challenging for July!) and recognised the abilities of everyone in the group.
The campsite is great and in a fabulous quiet location with awesome sunset opportunities. Food was excellent and plentiful, and it was great to have the safe base of the awning of Billy’s caravan to get out of the weather.
Can’t recommend this trip highly enough. Thanks guys.

I had the best 3 days hiking and kayaking in the Norwegian fjords. The trip was well organised and our guide was really kind, supportive and knowledgable. Especially loved the chocolate!
It was such a privilege to stay there and experience the beautiful surroundings. Be prepared and accept the weather can change quite quickly!
I met some really great people and have such wonderful memories of the trip, thank you!

The trip was fantastic. It was very easy to book. The guide (Fredrik) picked us up wt the airport and stayed with us for the whole trip. He was very friendly and knowledgable, and he adapted the trip to meet our preferences. The location was absolutely stunning, the equipment provided was all top tier and they also provided all of the food which was all exceptionally delicious. The easiest 5/5 star I have ever given :)

Travelled on: Mount Olympus Hike (2,919m)
Fantastic guides both very knowledgeable of the area. Both kept a pace for everyone to keep up with one at the front and one at the back. Very safe going up the mountain and back down. Fantasoltic views amd we were very lucky to have clear skies all the way. I met some lovely people all like minded wanting to push themselves.

Highly recommended. Trip was amazing, well organized and smooth. I have done trekking trips before, but Christel was by far the best guide ever. Great personality, encouraging, sharing interesting facts about mountaineering and nature.
Travelled on: Tour du Mont Blanc Highlights
Amazing experience. Christel our guide was wonderful, knowledgeable, and attentive to all the group. We had great group dynamics and it was super enjoyable and physically challenging, but not too hard. Highly recommend this trip!

If you’re thinking about doing this trip, don’t hesitate, get it booked. It was the most amazing experience and the views are just incredible.
Our guide Crystal was amazing, very inspiring and extremely knowledgeable.
The accommodation is comfortable, but basic, food very good.
I’d definitely say you need a good base level of fitness, but Crystal kept the pace nice and steady and we had plenty of rest stops. Those that could walk quicker were encourage to, and given places to wait ahead. It was only on the last day when visibility was poor that we were all asked to keep close in the group.

A brilliant trip. Mark, our guide, was excellent at meeting the needs of the whole group. Thoroughly recommend this trip!
Travelled on: Tour du Mont Blanc Highlights
This is a wonderful journey along the Tour de Mont Blanc trekking route, where you'll encounter the most spectacular and best views. The trek is both mentally and physically rewarding, as you reach new destinations each day. We usually started around 7 am and walked until about 4 pm with breaks and lunch, totaling around 35,000 steps a day. Carrying a 5-7 kg backpack, it's best to pack light for a more enjoyable experience. Our guide, Mark Dodwell, was really good and professional. Highly recommended! / ‘Ken Sweden’ on YT

Hi. Line and I was very satisfied with the trip. Mark did a very good job in guiding every day and telling historical stories etc.
The last morning he checked out the weather forecast, because of the rain and thunderstorms in the mountains during the night. It was safety first. We were lucky, got sunny weather and left Trient at 7:20 am 😊
Thank you from Line and Hans Erik.
