Knowledgeable and friendly guided walking. I had never taken a guided walk before so I didn't really know what to expect, nor if I'd enjoy spending hours each day in the company of complete strangers. How would they deal with a fairly taciturn client who was quite happy walking several miles in complete silence..?

I jest... Richard's company is first class and I need not have worried. He has a well chosen roster of seasoned professionals who, aside from being excellent guides to the stunning area, are extremely personable, friendly and totally sensitive to the client's walking styles.

I was fortunate to be accompanied by four different guides over the course of a week (Kiersten, Victoria, José and Andrew). All had warm, interesting personalities and were completely different but each an absolute pleasure to spend a day with in the mountains.

The walking can be as hard or as soft as you like. They instinctively know how to gently push you beyond your usual limits and the walking was invariably stunning and varied.

These people love this area and it was an honour to share their knowledge of, and their passion for the mountains - book with confidence, you'll be well looked-after. Highly recommended.
