    We had such a great time. John is a fantastic guide- with the perfect amount of safety and knowledge. His cooking was great and his guiding was awesome. Highly recommend!

    Trip was amazing. Really well organised and planned. John was a brilliant guide - incredibly knowledgeable about the area, the physical geography and the historical and cultural connections. Everything ran smoothly from beginning to end. Cannot recommend this trip (or John as a guide!) highly enough
