One day hike in Sierra Nevada; great experience. Our guide Richard provided us with lots of useful and interesting information. In advance, he responded quickly to our questions. He is easygoing, checks on you, and offers the possibility to avoid the 'main road'.

A fantastic family adventure. Richard was a great host and guide for a day trip in the Sierra Nevada. He judged the level of our family and mixed the right amount of exposure and perceived risk to create a very enjoyable adventure, even if we were worn out at the end of the day. Clearly knowledgeable about the locality with an easy going style. A few bonus elements - uploaded pictures on flicker so we had more of us to add to the scenery. Recommended

Many thanks for the lovely walk. We had a great time in Andalusia!

Thanks again for a great day in the mountains - we all really enjoyed ourselves and learnt so much with your guidance

How Lucky Am I? I spent a great day with Richard learning the basics of walking with crampons, ice pick usage and self arrest. The course was informative and Richard is a most patient and professional teacher. An all round fun and useful day and highly recommended.

This is a belated thank you... ten thousand of them in fact, for all your kindness, generosity and hard work in enabling us not to make too much the fool of ourselves up on the hill. For me the whole thing was quite unforgettable, and although while I was up there puffing and panting and enjoying the agonised moaning of all my muscles I was thinking 'right, this is the last time I put myself through this stuff; it's just not necessary'... well I hadn't been down more than four hours when I started thinking how wonderful it would be to be back up there. Funny isn't it.

“Friendly and professional guides in the Sierra Nevada”. I was part of a motley group of 6 guided around 3 separate areas of the Sierra Nevada by Richard and Kiersten (and on the last day, joined by David and Anna, some friends of theirs visiting from Guernsey). Although I think their services are generally targeted at experienced bush walkers, mountaineers and extreme-sport types, our group had 3 lovely & varied days of fairly gentle walks (between 8 and 14km over 5-6 hours per day).

“Wonderful walking tours”. My friends and I spent three days walking with Richard and Kirsten in May 2014. It was a wonderful experience. Three very different walks were selected by Richard to suit our requirements and capacities. The first walk in the Las Arenales and Dilar Valley, Cumbres Verdes gave us an experience of walking through a diverse landscape of forest and almost desert. Amazing views! The second walk traversed the Taha del Pitres in the Alpujarras and gave us the experience of walking on a medieval road and through old villages. Again amazing views and an unforgettable experience. The third walk was the Rio Chico, Puente Palo, Sierra Nevada - a high walk that provided a very different experience to the first two.

“Three fantastic days". We spent three fantastic days with Spanish Highs in May. We were a group of six and our walks were tailor made to suit us - duration, altitude, low level, mid or high level. We walked in the Cumbres Verdes, Taha del Pitres and around Rio Chico. These areas offer high mountains, beautiful pine forests, streams, waterfalls and picturesque white mountain villages.

It was such a great experience that I plan to tell as many as I can about it. I've been reading Driving Over Lemons these past couple of days. It's such a great portrait of the Alpajurras. Thanks for giving us a wonderful experience.

Fantastic photos, Richard! You make it alive and vibrantly dramatic. Some of them from the last day made me laugh out loud. Thank you for making the tough bits smoother and the wild beauty accessible to us all.
