Himalayas

RUSSIA: MT. ELBRUS
"It was the most stupendous trip. Of the various Elbrus trips I looked at it was the most varied and this is absolutely the right policy. After the first week we were not only much fitter, but had had such a wonderful time that if we had failed to get up Elbrus for some reason, it would not have been the end of the world."
Mr. M.W. Plackett
London
"The high points were the scenery, camping in remote mountain areas, summit ascents. I enjoyed the two nights camping on the moraine above the hut. Wild, windy nights - great! Gia, our guide, and his assistants were excellent; they were patient, organised and looked after everyone very well."
Mark Elliot
Barnsley

"This was the first time I had ever undertaken a holiday of this nature:
1) I'd love to do something similar again. 
2) I would have no hesitation in not only using Sherpa again, but also in recommending you to anyone else. 
3) Extremely enjoyable overall."  
Nigel Stott
"The attitude and competence of the guides is something to be commended, i.e. their professionalism and friendliness."
Ian Morris
Seascale
Cumbria
"An extremely well organised holiday. Everything went as smoothly as possible with the end result being a fantastic two week trip which I'll find hard to follow."
Dave Bendle 
 "The tour guides for the cities (Moscow and St. Petersburg) were absolutely excellent. The trek leader in the Baksan Valley was friendly, competent and very professional."  
Mr. and Mrs. Adams
Abingdon
POLAND AND SLOVAKIA: THE HIGH TATRA FRANCE: PYRENEES HIGH
LEVEL ROUTE
"An excellent trek. I went up and, more importantly, got down the mountains I would never have attempted without the confidence and humour that Piotr encourages in the group. The organisation on trek, too, was so good that it was almost invisible."
Susan Binney
"I should like to congratulate you on this tour. It was strenuous but exciting and enjoyable."
Mr. and Mrs. Maggs
 "I thoroughly enjoyed my recent holiday in the Pyrenees. A considerable contribution to the success of the trip was the quality of your two leaders." 
Brian Robins
Newark
FRANCE: CORSICA
"The first 8 days from Calenzana to Vizzavona were superb, with the Cirque de la Solitude and the Capu Tafanatu especially standing out"
Bernard James
Birmingham
"Excellent group leader, who despite having a group of very mixed ability and attitudes and expectations made a supreme effort to ensure everybody's needs were catered for. Nobody was left behind, a very flexible attitude."
Nicole Ellington
London
"The whole trip was one long 'high'!"
Mr. and Mrs. A. Mollison
Kirkcaldy
Fife
SWITZERLAND: AROUND MONT BLANC
"I would like to take this opportunity to make a special mention of your representative Jeanette Chattaway. Her support guidance and general demeanour throughout the holiday was excellent. I would regard her as the ideal representative / courier for this type of holiday. The first night welcome meal she prepared was first class. She provided and excellent variety of fresh food for breakfast and packed lunches and was always on hand to give advice and assistance. Please pass on to her my sincere thanks for making this a very enjoyable and memorial holiday." 
Mr. A. Broadbent
Huddersfield
"It was a quite magnificent holiday; the whole principle of having ones baggage transported enables one to enjoy this most beautiful route so much more. The choice among the many possible routes and hotels was obviously difficult but we think that you go it about right."  
Dr. J.F. Andrews
Canterbury
Kent
" I would like to say that we thoroughly enjoyed the trip - wonderful scenery, great walking, sociable but independent, self guiding is definitely our preferred choice. The walking notes were easy to follow - the description generally very good and the difficulty as we expected." 
Julie A. Boyden
Chelmsford
Essex
GREECE: PEAKS OF THE PINDOS
"a very enjoyable trip. Michalus Vassiliou is an excellent guide. The high point was the scramble to the top of Mount Olympus."  
John Place
Manchester
" Another great trip - Spiros is probably the best guide yet and the accommodation was much more comfortable than I would have expected." 
Andrew Goodwin
Kingston
Surrey
" I'm delighted to say that this turned out to be one of my best group holidays ever (I've been on quite a few!)." 
Judy Bridgeman
Guildford.
MOROCCO: MGOUN MASSIF TURKEY: TAURUS & CAPPADOCIA
"Well here we are just back from the Mgoun and trying to readjust to what passes for normal life at home. We had a wonderful time, I tried filling in your feedback form, but I think it says a great deal that I have already phoned to enquire about the Jebel Sahro for next year." 
Kay Walmsley
Boreham Wood
"The Moroccan back up was superb, they made brilliant travelling companions, good conversation, good food and great music in the evening. The U.K. guide was marvellous - friendly, informative, organised. He managed to create special moments most days; tea in a village house, a visit to a local festival up the valley or buying a sheep for the evening meal...The complete culture change that we were immersed in, - fantastic."  
Omar Pena
Rome
Italy
"The high points of the tour were Cappadocia, visiting caves, high Camp and Summit, mountain scenery, tour leader Otto was excellent, visiting Istanbul... An excellent well organised trip everything ran to plan, the trip was made by a first rate tour leader who could not do enough for us. Give him a pay rise to buy a new pair of boots and a T - shirt!" 
Mr. P. Griffiths
Dudley
West Midlands
MOROCCO: JEBEL SAHRO
"Omar and Jon Millen were great guides. Jon in particular was a real asset, we all enjoyed him and benefited from his presence."  
Karen Steffre
New York
USA
" The high points were being in such a remote and beautiful place and getting back to basics."  
Ms. R. Law
London
"The high points were the scenery, the standard of food on trek and the excellent leadership of Jon Millen and Omar, the Berber guide. The muleteers were very good to." 
Mick Sparrow
Felixstowe
"A rather belated thank you for our Christmas in Jbel Sahro.  It was a magnificent holiday, not necessarily to most people's taste I grant - waking up to ice on the inside of the tent is not how most people opt to spend their Christmas - but we loved it."
Kay Walmsley
