Europe Climbing Trips

Andorra is a beautiful country and the Exodus trip perfectly captures the essence of it via the organised walking trips. It is a mountainous area, as such, be prepared for walking at higher altitudes and a reasonable amount of uphill sections, as such, a good personal physical condition is recommended. You will be rewarded with spectacular scenery and panoramic views of the area. Alfonso is an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable of the area and attentive to the needs of the group with impeccable organisation to ensure everyone gets the maximum enjoyment from the trip. If you are looking for something out of the ordinary then I would highly recommend this trip.

The location was so close, only 1.5 hour flight, so no long haul. The small town where we stayed was unspoiled and on the hikes themselves we hardly saw anyone else. The scenery was dramatic and the hikes made the most of that. There were some tricky conditions because of previous heavy rains, and our guide needed to adapt the order that we did two of the walks in and he checked on the weather conditions during the hikes and did make a couple of changes (to get down to a lower altitude when rain threatened). His support of everyone in the group and his decision making was excellent. He was professional, friendly, well informed on the terrain and its history. Also, away from the hikes, he ensured the two non-gluten guests and the one vegetarian (me) were well catered for.

It was absolutely wonderful - with a big proportion of the enjoyment being thanks to the guides. Alfonso for the hiking and Javier making sure that everything was working well. Two really great guys. The in country team of Alfonso and Javier were superb, enthusing the whole group with their love of the mountains, great food and fellowship. Their day to day organisation was faultless.

This is a tough week (and I've done Kilimanjaro/TMB/Toubkal). Don't underestimate it. Someone told me that in Romania the trails just go straight up - no zigzags and they really do! The ascents one the first two days are quite technical scrambles /climbs and the descents are absolutely knee-wrecking. So be ready for that and you'll have a fabulous time!

A wonderful weeks hiking in the most beautiful surroundings. Sarajevo was an interesting base for some of the walks and the time spent in Mostar was lovely ...despite the heavy rain!! It was a pleasure to meet all the other group members, good conversation and fun the whole week. Two of the accommmodation could be described as interesting (run down and dated) ....however, some of the other hotels exceeded expectations and were really of a very good standard.

A fantastic varied moderately challenging weeks walking with superb views from every top! Having always wanted to visit Lofoten this week didn’t disappoint…blessed with blue skies every day was a stunning adventure…beautiful quaint fisherman's villages to rugged mountain tops straight out of the sea. Each day was different and we had time for some cultural visits after the days walking.
