The tour was amazing. Our guide took very good care of us and made sure everyone was ok. He was also super nice and had good knowledge about the trail. It was nice to know everything was taken care of so we could enjoy the hike without having any worries.

Amazing trip we had such a good adventure our guide Paul was awesome he knew so much about the areas we were in and the fauna and flora I absolutely loved hearing about all of that whilst hiking. Paul was great with all our group members didn’t rush us and took great care of us throughout the 4 days. Accommodation and food was amazing I can’t recommend this trip enough. Will definitely be signing up for another one

An excellent trip which surpassed my expectations. Amazing views, excellent trails, and a huge diversity of wild flowers which I hadn't expected. Communication was excellent both before and during the trip and our guide Paul was brilliant. He was full of knowledge of both the mountains and the flora and fauna seen en route. I would highly recommend this trip.

The trip was incredible! I don’t think I’d have managed it without Paul’s excellent guidance, help and patience. The views were phenomenal! It was a lot harder than I had anticipated so maybe going in with no training wasn’t the best idea but the team were awesome and Paul got us all through it.

Guide cristel was amazing, so knowledgeable.. I appreciate difficulties in hostels etc but hot water should be a minimum. Food.... no vegetables no salad, not acceptable. My partner is vegan and stated this. I'm not but I dislike going without vegetables or salad. There are plenty of long lasting vegetables, if storage , delivery etc is an issue. The walk, the views, transport etc all rate 5 stars.

Overall a great trip. Our guide Christel was truly amazing - friendly, helpful, professional, knowledgeable 5 stars⭐️!! The trip was a lot more challenging than I had expected - it’s not a ramble for sure - you need to be fit, difficult ascents that seem to go on forever and descents the same! However the scenery is stunning - breathtaking - we had glorious weather (25 degrees hot and sunny a welcome breeze now and then) which was good as apparently the previous week was rainy - it would have ruined our trip if the weather had been bad. The accommodation is very basic - be prepared to be sleeping alongside strangers and sharing a dorm with people who are not in your trip - the first night is the most basic we slept in a 14 bed room - like sardines with 11 of our trip and two from another trip. You need a sleeping bag liner the beds have a rubbish pillow and a quilt both I’m sure not ‘refreshed’ each day! Take ear plugs - most people snore! The showers/toilets at the first night again very basic (think 70s school trip) but if you’re comfortable queuing for three toilets whilst staring at people’s feet under the door - you’re good to go! Maybe I’m a little too precious - private rooms and bathrooms are my thing. The second nights accommodation was slightly better - less to a room and bunk beds but bathroom and toilet facilities similar. The third night was a little better but not much. Food - breakfast and dinner provided seemed to get better with each day - all acceptable - all sitting down together around 6/7 for dinner was a nice time to chat and catch up on the days trek. Whole heartedly recommend walking poles! Don’t overpack/bring anything unnecessary items/clothing - you’re carrying approx 6/7 kilos on your back it’s hard! The last day following a break at the top ( and delicious food - I opted for a local fromage (yoghurt) with chestnut cream) we began our final descent after 15 minutes we reached the cable car - our guide said we could either continue the walk down which was more of the same 45 mins of steep rocky terrain or take the cable car - we took the cable car! By this time I had begun to develop a couple of blisters on my toes from the steep downhills from the day before decided they didn’t need another 45 minutes of bash bash! Actually I think the cable car should be added to the trip - it’s a wonderful way to end the trek especially as the last 45 mins weren’t very scenic just basically steep downhill! Also I would suggest the mini buses pick us up from Le Tours to take us all back to Vert Lodge - instead we all had to take the public bus which was crowded and couldn’t get a seat.

Well organised throughout with a professional, knowledgeable and helpful guide (Mark). Some stretches were hard work but worth it for the stunning scenery and sense of achievement. I was the only solo traveller so appreciated that the other members of the group were all friendly and supportive. An excellent experience. Special thanks to the team undertaking the transfer from Geneva airport to Chamonix. The passport control was even more chaotic than usual and I was 45 minutes late getting to the rendezvous but they waited for me (phew).

I can't recommend this trail enough. If you're looking for amazing views with a challenging trek, look no further. We trekked ~52.5 KM over the four days, with steep inclines and declines. We took enough breaks along the way to recharge, enjoy the views, and connect with others on the journey. Kudos to Alps Adventures for their approach to such trips. This is my second trip with them and I'll be looking for more opportunities to trek with them in the future.

It is amazing that you can take a group of strangers and put them together for a few days and have so much fun while hiking 😆 I have personally done both trips on my own and we’re not accompanied by a friend, and this have not been a problem at all!

Overall though unforgettable and met a great bunch of people. Thank you Gracjan and Skyhook.

Overall it was a fantastic trip, we had a great group. Darren our driver was a mine of information about the trip and was really helpful. The minibus is a bit cramped so plan your packing well! The mountain guides are fantastic, they are super fit and really know their stuff. This is a tough challenge, you need to train for it, it's not something you can just do especially if you want to do it within the time frame. Some of our group booked through a different company and a couple of them failed to complete the challenge. I'm not sure whether the company they used told them how fast the pace would be or not but I think in future Shyhook need to make sure that other companies using the same transport and guides are giving out the same information as it was a logistical nightmare for the guides to manage such a varied ability group and really disappointing for the people who didn't complete.

What a great trip! The scenery is stunning, and the trip is well put together with pickups, transport, accommodation and food. You overnight in what are effectively mountain hostels, and as long as you know to expect dorms, shared showers and limited facilities, they're everything you need - plus they're in amazing locations. We had a great group, and Marcos our guide was fantastic. The walks are tough enough, with steep gradients both ways and long days - but there are beers, wine and food at each stop, so it all works perfectly. (The Rostis Complet at Bovine were awesome!) Will definitely use Skyhook again, and would recommend a knighthood for Marcos! Cheers!!

(Jun 2023)

What can I say. If you're thinking about booking this trip, do it! You will not regret it! The trip exceeded all my expectations. I absolutely loved this hike. Extremely well led and organised and Marcos (our guide) was brilliant. The Mountain refuges are extremely clean. Take flip flops or sliders as you are not permitted to wear your walking boots inside the refuges. Bear in mind the sleeping arrangements are dormitory style and you will be sharing a room with other people - dont forget your earplugs! Advice I would give to anyone booked on or thinking of booking on this trip: - Pack LIGHT, so important. Remember you're going to be carrying that bag for 4 days. Don't take anything you don't need. There is the opportunity to leave anything at the Vert Lodge prior to setting off. Your bag is weighed before starting. - In my view, you need slightly more than a base level of fitness. Luckily, I already had a good level of fitness. You are walking up moderate to steep mountains for long periods over the 4 days, so get that hill training in. The hard work is worth it as the views are breathtaking. - Take more snacks. I didn't, as advised, but wish I had. - Invest in good walking socks. I'm grateful that I did! I would not hesitate to book with Skyhook again. Infact, I'm already looking at trips for 2024.

Bill & Sally are wonderful Guides - knowledgeable, helpful, encouraging, organised, fab stories! 5 stars 👌 I know when I booked this trip some of the other reviews helped me so here’s some points from me: - bring everything on packing list but add extra socks (you walk over streams and your feet will get wet) - bring a T-shirt to sleep in, ear plugs and waterproof bags for inside your backpack, the day cover will not keep your kit dry if it rains heavily - bring snacks every though they say you don’t need too! Some cafes might not be open and your breakfast and lunch on day 2 is very small - due to weather we didn’t get to visit Swiss farm (they didn’t want us in our wet clothing) and we didn’t swim in lake So do expect the unexpected - I found I didn’t need as much Swiss Fracs they told us to bring and didn’t spend much of the euros either but better safe than sorry I guess - Easier to rent poles than bring your own - The accommodation, food and showers get better each night - Fitness level needs to be more than skyhook suggest… playing tennis twice a week isn’t going to help you up those mountains - take travel insurance out a day earlier and day later just incase flights are cancelled etc - I expected Skyhook mini van to collect us at the end of the walk but we all had to get 2 public buses back to vert lodge that were packed Overall this is an amazing trip, with amazing people, the scenery is just breath taking and I highly recommend. It’s a trip of a lifetime and I hope you get Bill as a guide because he is a true inspiration

Great trip. Great guide (Bill and Sallie). Accommodation good but drying facilities not in every refuge. Think Skyhook need to be more explicit in terms of the level of fitness required-whilst it should be inclusive for all individuals do also need to ensure that they are fit to do this trip. We had one person who was not fit enough and it impacted on the enjoyment for others.

Travelled on: Tour du Mont Blanc Highlights

Helen

(Jun 2023)

Our guides, Bill and Sallie were amazing and the scenery was spectacular! I would suggest that you do need a good level of fitness for this trip as the terrain is demanding both in terms of sustained ascent and descent. I would recommend using dry bags to keep your kit dry as we experienced a heavy thunderstorm and there were not always adequate drying facilities. I would also recommend bringing some snacks as on one occasion the breakfast and lunch was small and the climb long without opportunity to stop due to lack of facility and weather (both unpredictable and no fault of our guides). Go prepared and you will have a great experience.

TDMB 4 day trek in June. This was a fabulous tour organised to perfection. We were lucky to have Tom as one of our guides whose wealth of knowledge and experience was outstanding, he was meticulous in ensuring we had everything we needed whilst providing information every step of the way, making us feel safe and supported. We also had the brilliant Marcos whose gentle, fun character made us feel completely at ease and his passion for the mountains was infectious. What stood out for me was that we were treated as individuals encouraged to walk at our own pace, I was at the back but felt no pressure to keep up with the fast ones. This has been an incredible experience with breathtaking scenery, spent with the most wonderful people, full of fun and laughter all the way…..doh ray me.

just AWESOME. I was initially nervous about joining the trip as a solo traveller (and definitely out of my comfort zone), but the guides all made me feel very at home and relaxed straight away. This trip is all about the experience, so I would say that if you're a sit by the pool, all inclusive type of holiday person - this probably isn't for you. Alternatively, If you like the outdoors and you want to see some truly epic scenery, take in the majesty and the scale of the fjords, and have a brilliant time doing it....Jump on this trip asap. I'm so glad I did it and I only wish it went on for longer. I really would go so far as to say it was Truly a life changing experience for me.

This was a brilliant trip. Keith our leader was excellent: very knowledgeable, engaging and communicated clearly at all stages managing our mixed ability group well. My perspective on the mixed ability point is slightly different perhaps because I was one slowing the group down in the end as the third peak took its toll on me. However , I am pleased to have finished and in daylight. It took us just shy of 14 hours. I think the accessibility of this to different abilities is a strength and there are escape points after the first and second peaks which allows flexibility. That said I would recommend some proper training (uphill) to make the day enjoyable. The scenery is awesome!

Incredible adventure from start to finish. I was drawn to the trip by the kayaking, but I fell in love with the hiking and wild camping - this gave the trip variety and time to recover muscles between activities! The trip is adapted to what the group wants, and the weather, and played on everyone’s strengths and passions so you really make the most of the 4 days. Had a fantastic group of people to explore the fjords with that I hope to cross paths with again someday. Sebastian and Lukas were super skilled and knowledgable and gave useful info along the way, even during the minibus ride to the cabin. Food was delicious, surprisingly so considering we carried everything in kayaks, and Seb was always ready with snacks when we needed an energy boost! It felt like every individual mattered on this trip and contributed to the experience - what a dream team. This is such a unique and special experience that you gain from exploring the fjords with this awesome company. I am so grateful that we found this trip and I hope to go on further adventures with Nordic Paddling. Please keep us posted :)

Omar was informative and helpful in answering any questions before and during my trip. I loved the fact him and his family were local to the area and have been for many generations it makes it very special. I 100% recommend booking with Omar sooner the better as no doubt he will be very busy soon. Thank you Omar and family for an unforgettable experience in the Atlas Mountains. I will see you again one day to climb the mount toubkal . All best and every success to you. Tom.

Great experience and thoroughly enjoyed with friend. However, word of cautions for other fellows who might be interested to go on this expedition. This is not a "moderate difficult" expedition but rather we would say between "moderate and difficult" for most of us - exceptions are very regular hikers! This experience could have been made better by splitting second day of hike in two days as climbing mountain and coming down all the way to Imlil was a bit too much for all of us (probably stay second night as base camp - refuge camp and third day further climb down). Guide was very nice guy and friendly. Stay and food were good as it could be with limited resources. Certainly worth the experience.

What a phenomenal adventure! Not for the faint hearted this trip is so highly recommended. A great physical challenge on some tricky terrain but extremely rewarding. We were very well looked after with our fabulous guide Hussain and cook Ahmed. Delicious food in abundance, stunning accommodation in imlil and Marrakesh. Hussain read our group so well and ensured that each and every one of us made it safely to the summit & back down - a very impressive feat!! Very highly recommended. We unfortunately missed out on the included massage in Marrakesh as the ascent / descent took us almost 15 hours. There was also some confusion about the final meal but all hiccups only minor and easily solved by Lahouceine.

Excellent trip. Loved it. Hotels were great. Only down side was being kept waiting at the airport on arrival for a couple of hours. Also how the situation was handled when one of our team was struggling with altitude, could have left an uncomfortable feel. It is being dealt with now, and feedback given. We did feel a bit at the mercy of the guides and not always consulted on things. e.g. the meal on the second night, would have been nice to have at the hotel instead it was at the owner of the companies house?? Great food, but meant we didn't have time for our so called free massage etc.

(May 2023)

I enjoyed my trip very much. It was amazing, definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Kush, our guide, was just great and he managed the entire trip excellently. I did not put 5 stars only for one reason: the trip has a lot of hidden costs that I was not informed about at the start, but throughout the trip I realized that my budget had to be suddenly expanded. For example, in the guidelines from you it says that 400-600 USD is recommended for food. The reality was that I had to spend around double the amount; in addition, we had to spend on a helicopter on the way back due to weather conditions. It would be great if you advised us that a probable 1,000 USD extra has to be budgeted for a helicopter in and out from Lukla. If people are on a tight budget, this definitely is stressful. Perhaps it would be great to update your website with all the extra costs. But overall I enjoyed the trip very much.

(May 2023)

Like other reviews have already said, this is an incredible experience. The unsung heroes are definitely the porters who work their asses off (no pun intended) to keep ahead of you and provide delicious meals. **NOTE** we were lulled into a false sense of security by the first day. The second day is a step up in difficulty - waking up at 3am after sleeping in shared bunk bed rooms, and dribble of a cold shower, it's hard graft to get up to the summit through steep icy patches and a sheer drop, scrambling, and all the way back down over 12 hours or more in total. The altitude also took it's toll on us, so I would definitely say it was at least 'demanding' rather than 'moderate' as advertised. Also it would be good for Skyhook to recommend what tip to give for the porter and guide - luckily the others in our group had done similar trips before so advised us what is typical. Lastly, I would highly recommend staying on for a night in a riad in Marrakech.

What a great experience. If you are trying to persuade yourself to do this trust me just do it. You won’t regret it. (Even in the wet season)! And you will be proud of yourself for achieving this. Overall, Great communication and planning by the team. The whole team were super friendly and helpful which took away any stresses related to that. The hike itself. They scale the support team well so you have a head guide / chef and other support staff carrying the heavier bags/ tents / food etc. you will only be carrying your day pack. You are going to be amazed how quickly and effortlessly they can carry these items up the mountain. Most days aren’t too long in terms of hiking (depending how fast you are) but give you ample time to acclimatize. The summit day is something else. Depending how fast you are you will leave anywhere between 11pm and 2am (maybe later if you are even fitter) to reach the summit for sunrise. I would consider myself pretty fit but found the summit day pretty tiring, especially the last push before Stella Point. You won’t regret putting the effort/ training in before. Food was great too. Considering you are camping you still get freshly (and tasty) cooked hot meals and packed lunches on longer days. Pro tips: 1) I would highly recommend paying extra for the portable toilet. I read the same online before I went and opted for it and after seeing (smelling) the toilets on the mountain I’m happy I paid the extra 😊😮 2) wet season clothes A poncho is not optional but a MUST. It rained every day on the hike. When it poured it really poured and I was thankful I had a poncho and great rain gear. Trying to dry clothes / gear between days is limited so this will save you putting on wet trousers again or having a wet bag. 3) camp entertainment As mentioned some days aren’t the most demanding and you have sometime to kill in the camps. I had audio books but had downloaded a few episodes/ movies. Make sure you download quite a few. They weigh nothing! 4) pillow Bring an inflatable pillow for the camping. 5) extra treats The supporting team really appreciated sharing the treats brought from home. 6) safari make sure you do a safari. I had one day spare at the end of the trip and opted to go to the ngorongoro crater. Even though it was a super early start (3am) it was amazing and out of this world. Lion king in real life! 7) wet season Don’t necessarily be put off by the idea of hiking in the wet season. Besides from dealing with the rain the benefit is there are not as many people hiking / camping. There were only 5-6 other tourists I saw hiking. Looking at the size of some of the camps I can only imagine how busy the mountain would be in peak season.

I don't know where to start with this review😀. The trip has been amazing and rewarding and felt much longer than the 5 days. From the very beginning I was looked after by some of the warmest and most friendly people you could wish to meet. I was met at my Riad in Marrakesh on the first morning which saved any stress trying to find the meeting point. We saw many things on our way to Merzouga like Dades Gorge and Tinghir which was my favourite. Our guide in Tinghir was such a cool guy. The night in the desert was very special. The guys running our camp were brilliant and the tent was so comfortable plus the sunrise on camel back was something else. And as strange as this might seem, yes we did have Wifi in our desert camp 🤣The journey back from Merzouga to Marrakesh is a full days drive so be prepared for that. Our driver stopped enough times to give your legs a stretch but it's a long day. The most memorable bit for me was the climb up Mt Toubkhal. Ibrahim who was my driver from Marrakesh to Imlil picked me up in Marrakesh and drove me to my Riad in Imlil. He was literally sitting waiting for me in Marrakesh so again no stress at all. Ibrahim met me again after the climb and took me to my hotel back in Marrakesh, even though it was hard to find😀 It was pretty seamless and well organised the whole trip. I have to pay special mention to Hassan who was our guide for Toubkhal. I have rarely met a nicer, kinder human being and he looked after us the whole time. Even when we were a little hungry on the first day up to the Toubkhal Refuge he shared some of his and another guide Jamal's own food to tide us over until dinner. So generous and kind. We got up at 2.30am and climbed Toubkhal the next morning in time to see the sunrise, amazing. We were back in Imlil for lunch, had lunch with Hassan and that was the trip over really. Mustapha who runs Moroccobestvisits was in touch with me every evening via whatsapp to check how the day had been and arrangements for the next morning so again this helped to avoid any stress with arrangements etc. What an amazing country Morocco is and my favourite memory will be how amazing the people are. Genuine, warm and so helpful. Book this trip for memories that will last a lifetime😀

This your is essentially split into two parts - the hike and the desert trip. For the hike, due to Eid, we were not collected when we should have been and no one communicated this to us until we panic messaged through Facebook (would be fine if they had communicated about this with us). The hike itself is amazing!!! The views are beautiful but the climb is brutal. Our guide mostly stayed over 100m ahead of us while hiking which I found odd, especially when the climb and descent is tough and you could easily get hurt. Luckily we didn't!! We were not told the price of crampons/sleeping bags until we were about to leave Imlil at 6am after being told that they were included the day before (I was expecting to pay for these and surprised when they said they were included, so it would be good to know in advance what prices are - they asked for 100dh per set of crampons plus 50dh for the sleeping bag). We also had to go back from Imlil to Marrakech rather than go straight from Imlil to Ait Ben Haddou which meant we had extremely early mornings every day of the tour. The desert tour we joined a great group on a minibus. There is a LOT of driving and mostly only very quick photo stops but the desert is so beautiful and the sunset and rise on the camels is amazing. I think worth three long days driving. The thing most people did not like is that you get no options for lunches - you are taken to a restaurant each day that is not close to anywhere else so you have to pay the high tourist prices for quite average food. The bus driver was a great driver but we were not given much information from him as to stop times or what we would need for the tour. We were taken to a shop for scarves/sunglasses for the desert but they weren't really necessary while we were there as there was no wind and so no sand storms. In short - communication could definitely have been better all round. Things happen eventually but you aren't given much information (e.g. stopping at the side of the road and waiting a while for the car to pick you up for the camels). But this tour is quite an efficient but exhausting way to see amazing places. Just be prepared to be shattered and sore afterwards!!

The personal touch added by Raul with his extensive knowledge of the people and their traditions as well as everything about the flora and fauna of the area made it all come to life.

Be prepared for a intense climb, but it's absolutely worth it. So much so I wouldn't mind doing it all again!

My husband and I are coming up to 55 years old (so older than the average or so we thought) It was tougher than we anticipated because unfortunately the weather wasn't as kind to us despite it being April/May. This was a trip we had been planning for many years and due to several different reasons (including covid) this was our 5th time lucky!! From the minute we were picked up at Kathmandu airport we felt we were in safe hands. Sanjeet was absolutely amazing and nothing was too much for him.... including fishing my mobile out of a toilet (lesson learned!) His knowledge about the history of the Nepal and the trek itself was exemplary. The trek itself tests every sense and requires mental perseverance but with the help of Sanjeet and our assistant guide Ngima (who will make a fantastic guide) They were trained in every eventuality. This trek builds friendships and makes you focus on working as a team in order to succeed. We have definitely made lifelong friends and numerous memories. Its really difficult to put into words the amount of gratitude we would like to.... To Skyhook and Freedom Adventures - THANK YOU <3

This trip has been a long time in the coming given the pandemic that hit the world so dramatically, however the trek did not disappoint on ANY level. The trek itself was very challenging on times especially through the dramatic climb at Chola Pass, however given the expertise, guidance and direction of our awesome guide Kanchan who not only controlled our pace, ensured we drank enough water to avoid headaches and fatigue, and monitored and observed our physical performance made it possible for all our group to reach EBC without the onset of altitude sickness (which was a concern for myself). The Trek was amazing each day and offered the most spectacular of views and reaching EBC was extremely emotional. I recommend Skyhook for any adventure you want to undertake, they are professional and hold the welfare of both the participants and that of the support staff at the heart of their package. I can't recommend this company highly enough as it surpassed my expectations.

What an incredible experience. Pictures don't do the views justice. You are frequently surrounded by 360 degree views of mountains. The main guide Kanchan and supporting guide Uttar were amazing. Kanchan was so supportive and encouraging and did everything he could do to make sure the whole group succeeded. He was also very knowledgeable of the names and stats of all the mountains and regions that we hiked through. Uttar was incredible as the supporting guide, he made sure we got everything we needed. It was also amazing to see him complete the route in trainers and tracksuit bottoms. I would highly recommend the route that includes Gokyo Lakes and Cho La Pass as it takes you off the main EBC route on the way up. It is definitely more challenging, but that was what we were looking for, the experience of this route is truly superb.

The food was also superb along the way. It is worth noting you do need a good level of fitness to complete the hike and unfortunately half of our group of six never made it to the summit. Admittedly the second day of walking is a long one but more than doable providing you are capable of walking up to 10 hours at a steady pace. Thank you Skyhook till the next time.

Reaching the summit was euphoric, but much harder than expected. Thought it was advertised as medium hike? It was especially hard without a guide, our guide left us to concentrate on the slower member. The trip up and down the mountain plus a hike back to Imlil, all on the same day, seemed rushed and very intensive. Maybe an extra day required. Quibbles over equipment costs, not as advertised, spoilt the experience a little. Base camp bunk house mattress spacing very cosy! Take earplugs and don't expect much of the shower/wc facilities.

This was an amazing hike, but very challenging. I would say the recommend training in the Q&A section ("jogging or sport 1-2 times a week, in the run-up to your trip") is not enough. You really have to be fit and previous hiking experience definitely helps. Otherwise the pace is ok, with enough breaks to catch your breath :) Would recommend a hammam in Marrakech after the hike :)

Fabulous trip overall. Very concentrated though! The descent to Imlil on Saturday was way too long and is far from only 6 hours in the trip description. It was 6 hours from the refuge down to Imlil, so in total around 10 hours! The trip is not moderate! Fitness level is to be considered. There were 2 full challenging days. Beautiful landscapes and a lot of fun on the way! I totally recommend it!

A great opportunity to experience what Morocco has to offer in a short period of time. While the trip to the dessert is less active involving long drives, the destination is absolutely worth it - stunning scenery and colours. The Toubkal experience is the active part of the holiday. The track was an amazing experience - a good challenge, helped by experienced and helpful guide, with amazing views!

My wife and I did the 16-day EBC Trek booked with Skyhook Adventures in partnership with Freedom Adventures. While this trek is difficult, every corner turned is another magnificent display of the wonders of the Himalayas. As amazing and beautiful as this trek was, the people, specifically Prem and Ngima (our guides) made this trip unforgettable. I feel like we made lifelong friends on this journey. The best part of the trek was the people you get to know but the perseverance and resiliency that is gained is invaluable. If you want to, you can take much more away from this trip than just pictures and memories. You leave with a stronger sense of pride and mental fortitude and with more friends than you started with.

An incredible experience! We had the best time on our Toubkal hike! Mohammed, our trekking guide was amazing! Day one we walked to Toubkal Refuge, stopping for a big lunch on route. We arrived with plenty of time to sit in the sun and enjoy the mountain scenery. Fun to be in the refugue with people from around the world expericing the Atlas Mountains. Day two we were up early and using crampons in the snow! With Mohammed's positivity we were the first at the summit for sunrise! It was hard work but worth it for the incredible views at the top of Toubkal. We were well fed the whole trip with lots of tasty Moroccan dishes!! The hospitality from the whole team was so welcoming, we will return to do a longer hike one day! Thanks to both Mohammeds for the hike & food, and the rest of the team for the warm hospitality in Riad Bab Imlil.

Hamed looked after our every needs and was very calm .can’t recommend him enough. Our driver Aziz was also very good! That’s quite a drive up to the Sahara through the mountains etc .

This is a fantastic trek but not for the first timer. The route up is not the standard Everest Base Camp trek and is a lot harder. We came down the standard route to Everest and it is a lot easier than the beautiful Gokyo Lakes route on the way up! Our guide Ngima and Kabi the porter were brilliant and totally looked after us all the way. They were well equipped with first kit, oxygen etc if we needed it. (I'm sure we will keep in touch). The trekking part of the trip was approx 16 days, we walked over 100miles through all types of weather, blizzards, rain, thunder and lightening and a 10 second earth tremor(a very long 10seconds). The sun was hot but you needed cold weather clothes for temps around -22C on one morning and sun screen to not get burnt. Tea Huts were welcoming but all cold except for the heater(only after 4pm) in the dining area. No heating in bedrooms, sometimes no electricity or running water anywhere except the kitchen where the food was prepared! I'm sure it was warmer outside than inside some of the time! None of us bothered taking a shower till we got back to Namche Bazaar (14days) which is where wet wipes do a proper job. The food is quite basic but plenty of it in the Tea Houses, I eat like a Yak but still probably lost around 5kg in weight and consider myself to be quite fit. The rewards for all the hardships were amazing views, experiences, emotions, memories which we all had together like a family that will last a lifetime. Thanks to the local travel company Freedom Adventure who work out of Kathmandu and of course to Skyhook who I've used 3 times now without any problems. Would recommend for people who like a bit more adventure than the standard trips!!!

It was a super mountain hike with lots of challenges and I wouldn't have expected so much in such limited conditions. Our super tour guide Ngima and his assistant Kabidhan were very professional, caring and helpful, most importantly they were there for us. They did everything to make it comfortable and possible for us to reach our goal. We had become the best team and one family. We have received so many experiences, emotions and memories that it will remain in our hearts for a long time, like the best trip ever. The conditions were much tougher than I had anticipated. There is an endless winter in the mountains. The teahouses were very cold, essentially as cold as outside (the doors and windows were always open), some of them were dirtier, the last one had no electricity either day or night. So definitely bring a down sleeping bag (-25 degrees). Bring warmer clothes, extra arm and leg warmers for early morning hikes, plenty of wet wipes and hygiene items, as local conditions cannot be taken into account. Also bring plenty of cash or as suggested earlier. But generally you will survive :) Thanks to the local travel company Freedom Adventure, who organized everything well, always punctual and fast, with pleasant service. And also a big thanks to Skyhook Adventure for this amazing mountain hike. This is the second time I have used your service and I am very happy that I discovered you. I highly recommend!

Superb trip. Hamid at the accommodation in Imlil was super friendly and attentive. Hassan the guide and Ahmed the porter and cook were a pleasure to travel with. Hassan was especially intuitive regarding giving me space to enjoy the mountain without feeling too crowded but also always there if needed. I was initially booked for January as I wanted full on winter conditions but had to cancel at the last minute, eventually I managed to go in March, the conditions were still sufficiently challenging for me to feel I achieved something but clearly there was a lot less snow so therefore only really about 3 hours of crampon work to the summit. Temperatures still hit -15C with the windchill but with the right gear thats very manageable. I was very fortunate that on my trip to the summit it was just me and the guide Hassan which made it feel that bit more special, we did not quite reach the summit in time for sunrise but were still in a great spot when the sun broke through and we then had almost 30 minutes on the peak without seeing anyone else. I would highly recommend this trip for anyone who would like to push themselves a bit but doesn't want to do anything too 'crazy' just yet. Skyhooks local partners do a fantastic job from start to finish. One needs to be prepared for some hard graft on summit day and capable of dealing with pretty crowded conditions at the mountain refuge but the food is great and the experience well worth a bit of discomfort here and there ... which is after all part of the adventure.

An amazing experience from start to end. Shushan was readily available to answer all my queries before travelling: I recommend adding the pick up and drop off service. The first morning I was greeted by Mutaz, and his knowledge, passion and personal touch immediately brought a friendship and he felt like one of the group; if you're lucky to have Mutaz lead your group, you'll have a great time and leave with a friend in Jordan as I have. We were lucky to have Awdeh and his donkey Marzouka support us along the trek, and along with the Bedouin personnel we were very well looked after, and the food was amazing. I think 2 things people who read this would appreciate to know: if you want a camel ride book early in Wadi Rum and don't let the local guide rush your experience at Petra, as this is not led by Experience Jordan, however it is included in your experience. Seeing Petra was a dream of mine, and one made all the more valuable and enjoyable thanks to Mutaz and Experience Jordan adventures; I can't recommend them and this trip enough, thank you.

Hostel is really well resourced and prime location for the best ice climbing spot in Europe. Instructors were excellent, enthusiastic and great teachers. And the climbing, unreal fun. 10/10. Worth bring a small sleeping bag although they can provide bed linen and food is expensive generally in Norway so budget accordingly. The trip is impossible without hire cars to access the climbing spots and also if possible a return flight on Monday, not Sunday is advisable to manage fatigue. It's about a 3.5-4hour drive with breaks to the airport! Conditioning your calves and grip strength beforehand will ensure you can squeeze a bit more out of the climbing by having a bit more endurance.

Unfortunately a bad snow storm stopped us from even attempting Toubkal and we had to spend the whole time in Imlil just doing day hikes for 3 days. Two of the days were trekking in heavy snow and strong winds so didn't get very far or see much. Obviously beyond anyone's control and safety was put first. However, whilst nothing can be done about the weather, it didn't feel like we were a priority anymore and our guide for the 3 days did not seem particularly interested in us or the hiking. Although, the staff at the riad in Imlil looked after us well and Lahouceine made an effort to liaise with us and join us one evening and expressed his disappointment in not being able to take us to Toubkal which was much appreciated.

I loved every minute of it! I was a total beginner to ice climbing, having done 2-3 indoor / outdoor rock climbs in the last 20 years so not as experienced at all. Apart from the fact that I had to use public transport from the airport which took forever to get me to the hostel, the rest of the trip went like a breeze. I was in touch with Jakob who ensured someone at the hostel was waiting for me as I reached at 11pm to give me a quick tour of the hostel, had my bed ready and kitted me so that I could be out with the others the next morning by 8.25am! The hostel (should have a name in the front and back) is comfortable, clean, warm and equipped with the right facilities for an ice-climbing adventure. They have dry rooms, spacious kitchen and lounge area and dorm beds with curtains. I arrived solo but the remaining 11 from the group were friendly and quite up for the challenge so we had a great time both climbing and socially back at the hostel. The instructors Oliver, Saleeka, Matilda and Peter are knowledgeable, respectful, funny and ensure your safety all the time. They do encourage you to try as many climbs as possible. I did a total of 7.5 climbs over the two days of varied levels of difficulty. The locations are picturesque and enough to get your not-so-adventurous friends wishing they'd join you. Overall, highly satisfied. PS: If you're looking to use public transport to get to the hostel, the best way is to do the following: 1. Get to Oslo bus terminal as they have regular airport buses to Gardermoen (40 mins; Flybuss operator) and Torp Sandjford (90-mins; VY operator). Oslo bus terminal is sheltered with apaid-toilets, self-store luggage facilities, cafes, water fountain and airport style bus destination and platform announcements 2. From Oslo bus terminal take VY bus to Notodden bus terminal which has a sheltered waiting room with paid toilets. Roughly 2 hours 3. From Notodden, take bus no 185 to Rjukan (1 hour) and tell the driver to stop at the Old School Hostel. The bus stop is within 30mts of the hostel entrance. Use the same route to & fro. Do not get off at Lysaker or Drammen as these are outdoor/unsheltered bus stops and you and your baggage will be exposed to the elements as I found out the hard way. It also involves crossing over busy roads to get to the correct bus stop and there are no lifts one side of the road but lots of steps if you are carrying heavy luggage. Stick to main bus stops and you will be fine. It will take 4-5hours depending on traffic and wait times for buses.

Amazing time in the mountains. Imlil is so beautiful and calm. The hike is quite long but really rewarding in the end. Summit view is breathtaking. Way down from the Toubkal summit to Imlil was really hard in the end due to fatigue, and altitude sickness but overall largely doable (watch out for the couple of following days with pain all over the body). Our guide Hussain was the best, explaining every single bit and leading us really well and calmly. I recommend this trip 100%

It was a fantastic experience, our guides, Michael and Amos were excellent, always there making sure everyone was ok and ready to help with everything, they made sure the only thing that would stop us from reaching the peak would be something like altitude sickness, if at any point someone needed a bit of help with their day-pack, or climbing a specific part like the barranco wall, they were always there to assist. The cook did an amazing job, the food was excellent considering where we were, and most important it was a great diet for the climb we had each day. What can I say about the porters? Amazing guys! My only but, the one thing that really annoyed me was on our last day in Tanzania, after the climb and after our Tarangire and Ngorongoro safari we received a call from Holyfield via the hotel manager to inform us that we would have to pay $50.00 for our transfer to the airport the next morning, I argued that this was included in the Kilimanjaro booking, but he informed me that as we had booked the safari too, the transfer was not included. This makes absolutely no sense to me, we booked the safari through Skyhook as well as the climb, I think it is a disgrace that you charge for the airport transfer simply because it is on a different day when the change on the date is due to us booking extra activities with yourselves.
