Great trip with Arron. He is a very experienced, responsible guide. The communication was excellent. My son and I had a great time, despite the weather!

Having never climbed a mountain before, Jack our guide was exceptionally patient with us! He was knowledgeable, reassuring, had all the appropriate hiking gear with him and made us feel safe from the moment he picked us up from our B&B. He allowed us to set the pace and constantly checked to make sure we weren’t overly fatigued and were happy to continue. I won’t lie - the climb up was hard but the climb down was harder as we knew it would be! Jack has exceptional people skills and could read when we wanted to be quiet and concentrate on where we were placing our feet as well as asking us questions and providing excellent commentary on the area and the geography when we were more relaxed - his knowledge of the local area was excellent. Towards the end, us as unseasoned climbers were getting very fatigued and were making mistakes. My partner slipped and fell (luckily landed on her backpack) and I twisted my hip by slipping in the snow - all totally our fault but par for the course after 7 hours + of hiking! Jack was very patient, asked if we were ok to continue and constantly checked we were feeling ok. We made it down in one piece and Jack kindly drove us back to where we were staying. It was an excellent experience, not for the faint hearted but definitely worth the effort and it was made all the more special by Jack’s tuition and guidance. We would definitely do it again (once we’ve recovered the use of our legs!) and would recommend Jack as a guide to anyone who likes the mountains and wants a great day out! Thank you Jack and well done!

What an amazing first mountaineering experience climbing the north face of Ben Nevis with our fantastic guide, Sam Percival. Sam’s wealth of experience and skill put us at ease straight away, and his faith in us never wavered! It was a very wet and windy climb, with some extremely slippy sections, but we could not have been in safer hands! Great knowledge of the mountains and banter to boot. Would definitely recommend Sam as your go to guide. Thanks for a great day Sam, we are hooked!

We had an amazing hike with Amy! We were a group of 5 and she took us to secluded loch Avon and then up to the top of Ben Macdui. We were lucky to be able to do it on a day were the sun was out most of the time, which made the views all the better. Thank you, Amy, for your company, guidance and putting up with this crazy bunch! I have done a few hikes in different parts of the world and this has been the best yet! It is an experience we will remember for a lifetime!

The day out was a marvellous and memorable experience. Our guide Amy chose the route exactly to our wishes. She was very friendly, told us about the history of the place and guided us safely through the Cairngorms. A clear recommendation for this tour.

Everything about this day hike was exactly as I had hoped it would be. I was met, on time, at my hotel. The guide had contacted me several days before my hike to go over expectations, hopes and goals. My wishes were respected. On the day of the hike these expectations were discussed again. I felt my guide, Amy, was willing to offer a wide range of mountain hiking and rock climbing experiences. I was seeking a walk appropriate for a 65+ year old in reasonably good but not elite physical condition. The plan we devised was perfect for me. The Cairngorm National Park is a beautiful place that I recommend heartily. Amy was a great companion for the day. It was clear she had been well trained to handle anything likely to occur on a hike, although our trip was blissfully uneventful. Amy has a real passion for the Cairngorms, particularly the geology and natural history of the area, something that certainly enhanced my enjoyment of the hike. The conversation was easy and relaxed throughout the hike. I would strongly recommend this guide to anyone who appreciates alpine beauty and wants to experience and learn more about the Scottish Highlands in general, and the Cairngorms in particular.

Wonderful experience that I will remember forever, absolutely fantastic guide (michael) who was incredibly knowledgeable and motivational when the trail gained elevation. Would highly recommend.

Amy planned the walk perfectly to accommodate our varying needs and adapted it to the conditions on the day. She is a knowledgeable and friendly guide and made my son feel confident and comfortable, and taught him some navigation skills along the way. Thank you!!
