              Every client receives a feedback survey when they return from their guided, self guided or tailor made holiday with us. Once completed the review is published on our website just as soon as our database updates. The little touches and details are important to us and where issues are raised we make positive changes to our trips to improve your experience.

              That’s why we read each of our client’s reviews and although we don’t respond to all of them, if it’s glowing feedback then we get the satisfaction of helping to make your holidays truly memorable.

              The Bottom Line

              The Bottom Line

              My trip was full of lots of experiences that exceeded my expectations. I feel proud of what I accomplished on the hiking side and my commitment to training prior to the trip. I plan to continue upon my return so this trip has inspired a change to my lifestyle. I don't often go on a "packaged" trip so there was a bit of sticker shock with the price (and perhaps unfavourable exchange rate) but it was nice to sit back, so to speak, and have the excellent planning done for me. Enjoyed it very much!
