⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a fantastic experience of 4 days…

What a fantastic experience of 4 days in the beautiful Alps! Very well organised and a very knowledgable lovely guide Alena. Managing the whole group, Alena was able to address everyone’s needs and make the trip so enjoyable. I am fairly new to hiking (first time in the mountains), but with guidance I learned to be more confident and independent (I didn’t want to take walking poles at first, but Alena knew much better! :) ). One of my best holiday experiences - challenging, enjoyable, and absolutely beautiful! (Birute, September 2024, Trust Pilot)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️An Unforgettable Four-Day Hike in the Alps!

I recently embarked on a four-day hiking adventure in the Alps, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Our guide, Charles, was absolutely fabulous. His spiritual nature added a unique and enriching dimension to the trip. He even led us in yoga sessions, which were a wonderful extra touch that helped us connect with the stunning surroundings.

The accommodation was clean and comfortable, providing a cozy retreat after each day’s hike. The food, was delicious and satisfying, giving us the energy we needed for our daily treks.

The views were simply breathtaking. Every turn revealed a new, awe-inspiring landscape that left us speechless. The company was great too, making the experience even more enjoyable.

Overall, this trip was an incredible journey that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore the beauty of the Alps. Thank you, Charles, for making it so memorable! (Joanne Farrell, Google, September 2024).

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️What an amazing adventure..my first of many I hope. So well organised, I didn't have to think about anything or make any decisions, a great relief from reality!. The group I was part of were so lovely supportive and happy and Charles our guide was amazing, clearly passionate about his job and making us all feel part of something special which it was. I would recommend this Tour of Mont Blanc to everyone. (Katie Scattergood, Google, August 2024).

Just came back from my third trip with Alps Adventures, this time Snowshoe trip to Great Saint bernard. As always, it was a lovely experience, a mix of challange, great people, comfortable beds, clean and well chosen dorms, and delicious food. Our guide Tom took such good care of us, even took extra time to drop a few of us to a quick thermal bath session. I felt safe, connected, exercised, relaxed and learned new things about the region. Snowshoeing is new to me and loved it! Looking forward for our fourth trip with them! Thanks Tom for another great adventure🙏🏼
