“I decided to go hiking through the Pyrenees for a week in September. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I made the reservation. Alberto, the head guide, really put me at ease. He emailed me all the details, picked me up at my hotel in Barcelona and bent over backwards to make it a great trip. What I really loved about the trip is that they chose 6 of the best hikes in 6 different parks. He customized it to me so that it wouldn’t be too easy or too hard. From start to finish, everything was taken care of: hotel reservations, meals, hikes, rides…everything!
I can’t tell you enough how great of an experience it was. All of the guides were personable, punctual, knowledgeable and kind. They also had other things planned during the day, like seeing a castle after the hike, going to a cheese maker, stopping off for pictures at a beautiful spot, etc.
I can’t thank them enough for an adventure that made all of my friends and family jealous!”
— George Cluen, Washington, U.S. state
