What our customers are saying…

“We had 4 days trekking with Ian on the Tour De Mont Blanc, the booking and communication from the start was excellent with the whole package being first class. … The route was fantastic, every day was different, some really good stops for lunch, coffee and cake (really worth it), the huts at night gave you a real alpine experience finishing in Chamonix with pizza and beer, what more could you want! Well recommended thank you Ian.” – Sean Scott

“The 4 day tour from Courmayeur to Les Houches/Chamonix was amazing. We were just a small group of three as it was still early season and although we had to adjust our route due to snow, it was outstanding with stunning views and a good mix of challenging and not-so challenging hiking. Ian was charming and helpful and we knew that he had organised everything to a T. Highly recommended!” – helenjw65

Ian was an absolutely fantastic guide from start to finish! He organised everything so seamlessly and made the whole experience feel effortless honestly! I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a more perfect guide. From picking us up at the airport to arranging our transport, drop-offs, shuttles and overnight stays at the mountain refuges, he took care of every little detail- kept us on track and made sure we were where we needed to be and on time throughout the whole trip, which made everything feel so smooth and stress-free. Beyond being incredibly organised, he was the kindest and most patient guide you could ask for. He even put up with my inconsistent pace without ever making me feel rushed, and always made sure everyone was comfortable and able to enjoy every part of the experience. The TMB itself was absolutely spectacular!!!unreal views, an amazing experience for sure and so many unforgettable memories that I’ll take away with me. A big thanks to Ian for organising it allll. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing guide and an unforgettable TMB experience!!

Excellent hiking skills course We’d done plenty of mountain hikes over the years, but after spending several years behind a desk, we were a bit unsure about our fitness and whether our mountain skills were up to scratch for another multi-day adventure. From the moment Ian met us at our hotel and talked us through the week’s plan, we felt completely at ease. Everything was well organised, and every day built upon the last, which gave us the opportunity to build confidence while learning and refreshing essential skills such as navigation, rope work, orienteering, and dealing with unexpected situations in the mountains. Ian is incredibly knowledgeable, calm and patient, which made the whole experience both enjoyable and rewarding. We came away feeling far more confident and had a brilliant week in some stunning scenery. We’d highly recommend Ian to anyone looking to develop their mountain skills or simply enjoy a fantastic guided experience.

Chamonix Shakers TMB2026 We just completed a six day Tour du Mont Blanc , and honestly having Ian as our guide made the whole experience unforgettable. No matter the weather, terrain , or how we were feeling , we always felt safe, well informed, and completely looked after. Ian had this great ability to read the group and set the perfect pace when needed. I remember on particular hard climb, I found myself stepping exactly where he stepped, and somehow it felt like I was being carried up the mountain by a white marmotte! That’s the kind of quiet confidence he brings. Add to that his genuine kindness, gentleness and steady encouragement, and you’ve got someone who elevates the whole journey. Feel very blessed to have completed this trip and would highly recommend.
