Hi, Houssain looked after us like family. The climb itself was fine, if you have done national three peaks in 24 hours, that is harder in my view so if you are fit and healthy you can do this. I personally preferred the climb than to the Sahara part but having coming all that way I wanted to see the Sahara too.

WOW…. I would give 6 stars if I could. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I am Just back from Mt Toubkal and what a fantastic trip. I traveled with a group of friends, 11 of us in total and we all had a brilliant time. The accommodation was great. The food was freshly made for us every time, it was very tasty and plenty of it. On day 1 was around 12.6km. On day 2 we were up and gone by 4am and its 5k to the top, tough going with altitude and the steep ascent and It’s a long day going all the way back to Imlil.
Was it worth it ? Yes. When you get to the top, you will know what I mean
A massive thanks to our guides Hussein and Omar who were amazing, making sure we all got to the summit and also the porters, cooks and hosts were all brilliant 👍🏻.
I have nothing negative to say about the trip.
I would highly recommend Hussein and Omar to guide you.

The hike to climb Mt Toubkal was amazing. Houssain is a first class Guide. Houssain and his team did a great job of making every member of the group feel relaxed and at home in the beautiful Atlas mountains. The accommodation and food was excellent and the scenery spectacular! I would give this trip a ten out of ten. I would highly recommend it to anyone considering doing it. I'm so glad I did it. I had the most amazing positive experience. Thank you to all the team.

It was an amazing jorney to the summit of Toubkal! Our guide, Houssein was very kind, helpful and supported us during the whole tour.

Just wow!! From day one this hike was something else! I must say that I am so glad that I followed the skyhook guide and to what equipment and gear is required. I used everything apart from a couple of things. I hired my walking poles which made it easier for airport transport! The huts and food is amazing and is catered for all! We met some amazing people and plan to meet up with them on other hiking tours! Our tour guide was awesome and considerate to everyone’s abilities. I would 100% recommend sky hook!

Amazing trip from start to finish, Houssain and Omar were fantastic guides and even arranged a full moon for the summit morning.
The accomodation arranged for us in Imlil and the refuge were both fantastic with proper toilets, showers, power plugs and the food was amazing.
The perfect trip and I'll definitely be back to see more of the Atlas mountains and wouldn't think if using anyone else as guides.

We had a great trip, our guide was absolutely brilliant - great company, encouraging on the tough stuff (up and down) ensuring we had a fantastic experience and we embraced the opportunity to push ourselves out of our comfort zone while feeling really safe.
There were some organisational glitches in the background, but the local providers pulled out all the stops to make sure we were well looked after.

Absolutely awesome and memorable experience. Cancellations and re-bookings caused by the Covid virus went smoothly with Skyhook. Not once during the trip did I have to worry about arrangements. Our guide Dave was more than professional and immediately created a good spirit for the whole team. Already planning the next trip.
Travelled on: Tour du Mont Blanc
Great trip, well organised, Dave our tour guide was excellent, would recommend.
Travelled on: Tour du Mont Blanc
We've been trying to go on the hike for over two years, but due to covid it has been difficult. Happy to say that we finally got the chance to do it. Firstly I would like to say thank you to Skyhook for being so flexible with the bookings and refunds. I would happily book other tours with them in future.
This tour offers spectacular views of a wide variety of mountains and landscapes. It exceeded my expectations. WOW. The views are breathtaking. It was definitely no walk in the park, be ready to conquer mountains each day. But once you conquer the mountain the reward is well worth it. I would recommend a good level of general fitness for this tour.
Dave was a great guide, listened to the group's needs and adjusted accordingly. I also loved the fact that he worked in random coffee and cake stops.
The food was ok, nothing to write home about. I recommend bringing your own snacks as well. The accommodation consisted of shared dorm rooms.
It is a trip I will never forget. We were a great group of people.
Travelled on: Tour du Mont Blanc
What a great experience this was.
Definitely not for the faint hearted.
This is not a relaxing hike, this tests endurance, mental toughness and requires a decent level of fitness. We were very lucky to have a great bunch of people conquering the mountains together and sharing a laugh when the going got tough. Dave our guide was very knowledgeable and were very in tune with the group and their different needs which he used to adjust the routes accordingly, ensuring all members of the group had a great time. Skyhook is definitely a company I will book with in the future.
They were very responsive and went out of their way to accommodate us during this very interesting covid times where bookings had to be changed or even cancelled. The organisation was great, transfers, accommodation, meals everything was taken care of without having any hickups. Thank you for a great trip!

Had the best time in Imlil/Toubkal and the Sahara dessert out of my 3.5 weeks of travelling in Morocco. Local host from Atlas Vertical was absolutely brilliant, from the moment I got in touch, I was very well taken care of, every guide I had was very friendly and professional, all of us made it to the top of Toubkal despite the challenging weather thanks to their guidance. Food and accommodation was on point, the guesthouse in Imlil was my favourite stay, big windows with stunning view of the mountains. What a highlight to my trip ! Highly recommended!
Travelled on: Mt Toubkal & Sahara Desert Adventure
This was an amazing experience and I am still living on the high from the weekend. It is the toughest thing I have done testing both my physical and mental strength. I took part in this on my own but as it was a small team of eight, I was made to feel very welcome and we supported each other during the difficult times. The event was very well organised , we were provided with lots of information and we had an excellent guide who was great at motivating and encouraging us during the climbs. To achieve this within 24 hours we had to walk at quite a fast pace. The fitter you are in the lead up to this the more you will enjoy it and achieve your goal with ease

Honestly a truly amazing fun experience - the scenery was breathtaking - food was yummy (and plentiful and lots of chocolate!) and the guides were very knowledgeable and fun. The equipment was also new and top quality. Overall an amazing weekend (despite the rain on one day!)

Absolutely awesome, our 2 guides Fred and Vicki were just the best.
I would however like to see the trip advertised more accurately, due to adverse weather the 1st day plans had to change, this should be made more. Clear from Skyhook.
All in all an excellent trip👌🏼
Travelled on: Canoe Expedition Across Scotland
First of all, Fred and Vicky were great leaders. Windy weather meant changes of plan on the first two days. Although this was disappointing, it was no one's fault and in fact it was good that Fred was firm enough to withstand enthusiasm for pressing on! Vicky's catering was very good. There was plenty of food, and it was tasty. On our two days paddling up Loch Ness, the weather got better and better. It's a beautiful trip and I'm glad I did it.

It was amazing ! Julius White is an excellent guide. He forced us to go "pole pole" on the 4 first days so we got to the base camp as strong as possible.
He split us into different groups for the final ascent so we all had a perfect pace to get to the summit on time.
The hotel of the first and last nights was nice, food all along was perfect, we have no complaintes about this hike.

Over all this experience is over the top and I will recommend this..
Travelled on: Tour du Mont Blanc
We had a great hike with our guide Dave. Our small group was very friendly and supportive. I had a few problems with the technical parts of the hike and with the help of Dave and our group I got though them all. I was concerned when the first day was much longer and harder than expected. It did seem some of our days were different from the description. I do realize that depending on conditions and other factors, the routes and hut stays may need to change. Overall, this was a great hike with so many amazing views and trails. Since I have a some issues with heights and shear drop offs, I try to do some research before hand so i can feel prepared. Dave was an excellent coach on some of these tricky bits! So I rated this trip 4 stars, since it was quite a bit longer and harder than the description on the website.

The trek-to-trek Matterhorn experience was fantastic! It was a little more technically challenging than the group anticipated, but we had the right gear and a great guide (shout out to Dave M!), so it was a tremendous growth opportunity for everyone. The scenery was obviously wonderful. The huts were no-frills, but entirely adequate and we were grateful to see them. I would absolutely sign up for an adventure with Skyhook again!

Travelled on: Kayak the Jurassic Coast
This was an unfulfilled challenge for us. Sadly the group was only able to complete 2 peaks out of the 3. An RTA in the Highlands closed the road. Which meant we had a very long detour. Our driver didn't have enough remaining hours (legal rules about how long a driver can drive for) for us to do Scarfell pike and the company couldn't get a replacement driver to us. Instead we had to go on to Snowdon via a driver change. It did mean we got to Snowdon early so did get to do a night hike and reach the peak just in time for sunrise. Weather was perfect for both Ben Nevis and Snowdon, we had a great group and Keith, our mountain guide was fantastic but I can't help feeling disappointed about missing Scarfell pike
Travelled on: National 3 Peaks Challenge (24 Hours)
It was an amazing experience. Unfortunately we could do Scafel Pike but did Ben Nevis and Snowdon. It was a bank holiday weekend, we were in our way to Scafel and got a massive traffic jam. Apparently 2 RTC happened and roads were closed. Our guide and drive did tried the best to take us there but we decided to go towards Snowdon. As we got there earlier our guide decided to make our way up a little bit more exciting and choose a more challenging route. That route wasn’t for anyone but perfect for our group. Lots of “technical stuff” many vertical climbing ( I don’t recommend if you suffer from vertigo, don’t trust your core and knee strength, feeling nauseous in high pressure altitude, and or lose your balance easier). Yes! If you have an adventure spirit and trust your gut 😁 you will love this. Keith was our amazing guide. One of those people who really inspire confidence and helped the group to step into the next level. Simon O. send us all the information we need ahead of the event. He answered all my questions promptly and even send me a flow test by post after I said I had my own.Hotel was really good in Fort William with a “pro” breakfast for hikers and runners. Definitely recommended this company and I will do it again.
Travelled on: National 3 Peaks Challenge (24 Hours)
Unfortunately, due to a delay on route to our second mountain we were unable to complete the full 3 peaks challenge but even despite this our group had such a great time!
Darren our guide was just great! He really kept us in good spirits and done a great job under hard circumstances! He is so knowledgeable and experienced and just an all round nice guy! Carl our driver was also great, funny and friendly! We really enjoyed being in both their company, just as well as we were stuck on the bus for a lot longer then expected haha!
Even though we couldn’t complete the challenge I think everyone really appreciated the slower pace at the last mountain, in snowdon and being able to really enjoy the beauty of it all! We had such fantastic weather and views so that sort of counteracted the bad luck with the traffic!
Darren really was great and he even offered to take us back to do scafell pike at a later date if he can fit it into his diary which was so lovely of him!
Overall it was still a great experience and one I would highly recommend to anyone! It’s tough but worth it! Thank you again for all the efforts made to give us a great weekend!

Myself and my partner attended the Canoeing Across Scotland and Wild Camping trip in August 2021, led by our professional and enthusiastic guides Chucky and Ed. We met a great group of people; learned the basics of canoeing and portage; and thoroughly enjoyed experiencing the outstanding natural beauty of wild Scotland. The weather even stayed unseasonably sunny throughout! Would recommend to others 10/10. Thank you :)
Travelled on: Canoe Across Scotland
This was a great trip, Joel our guide was knowledgeable, approachable and good fun. The pace was flexible and the views amazing. Strenuous enough on the ups but still manageable if you have a good level of fitness. Accommodation is basic but clean, but that’s all part of the adventure. The food was good especially on the 3rd night in the Yurt. Definitely recommend this trip especially if you can only fit in a few days.

Absolutely recommended. Chucky and Jim host this and make the trip. Brilliant with beginners and happy to ensure you get what you want from the experience. Would do this again.
Travelled on: Canoe Across Scotland
What an awesome experience. You need to be quite fit as we averaged around 10-16 miles per day. The views were incredible and the hosts Chucky and Jim were brilliant. The food was decent considering we were wild camping, I expected it to be more basic, however don't expect restaurant quality as it all has to be brought with you in the canoes. There is a lot of moving canoes on wheels between locks so expect to work hard, an bring smidge and a net for the midges

This was one of the best trips I have been on. The information before hand meant I felt prepared and had a good idea of what to expect and we were so well looked after. Everything was well organised and Stephen gave us great tips to get us started on the water, even if we were initially rubbish at steering :-). The scenery was amazing, the group a hoot, the food brilliant (despite dietary quirks), and the wild camping gave you a sense of being in the wilderness. Loved it and can't wait until my next adventure.

I booked this trip last year by myself,i was a little apprehensive about doing this and who my guide and team mates would be.But as soon as I met Stephen I just knew I had made the right decision and after also meeting my team mates knew this was going to be an amazing trip and adventure.
It didn't take me long to feel safe with Stephens professionalism and knowledge.
The Information that was on the website as to what I needed to take was very accurate and any questions pre trip were answered promptly.
All the equipment that was provided was in great condition.
The meals that Stephen cooked were outstanding and plenty selection for us who had special dietary requirements.Nothing was to much bother for Stephen to give us the best experience..I had the best time of my life meeting Stephen and the rest of my team.We laughed until our heads hurt the whole time.But when we met more challenging waters Stephen made sure we were safe at all times.
The evenings that we had wild camping by the Lochs and camp fires are memories I will truly never forget.
I feel I have made friends for life through this trip and it definitely wouldn't have been possible if Stephen wasn't the guide he was.
I would highly recommend this trip to anyone and I'm looking forward to meeting up with the team again soon for our next adventure.Thank you so much to all at Scottish Rock & water as I know their team is also amazing and deserve praise too.This trip literally meant the world to me.See you all soon again X

Excellent trip with stunning views. Every stage is new and wonderful, an absolute voyage of discovery. Fell in love with Scotland. Given all the food is taken in the canoes it was fantastic quality and vegetarians well catered for. You do have to carry the boats and equipment everyday so be prepared to pitch in. The leaders were amazing , knowledgeable and so much fun. Top quality equipment and even in stormy weather my tent was cosy and dry.

The trip and everything about it was amazing! Kilimanjaro is a trip of a lifetime, but it is extremely difficult. There was no way my partner and I would have made it if it wasn't for the guidance and assistance our amazing guides and porters provided.

Looking forward to my next trip with Skyhook.

I don't even know where to begin. I wish there was a way to describe this adventure as it was more than a trip-of-a-lifetime. With the uncertainty of COVID-19, Skyhook and the local team were amazing, from my delayed flight to organizing a personal tour of Dar-Es-Salaam during my long layover. The journey to the summit with my fellow companion was nothing but amazing, including a New Year celebration with a bottle of sparkling juice. Our guides, William and Elias, and the rest of the staff became family, and after a long day hiking, Edward's (our chef) food warmed our hearts, especially on pizza night. How the porters do what they do I will never know, but we never had to worry about reaching camp and not having our tents and our belongings set up as well as popcorn and hot tea. I would recommend this trip to anyone, and I am already planning my next trip with Skyhook.

A log burner fire and comfy seating to relax after a day of ice climbing. Skyhook have hit the nail on the head with this course . Catering for every level from beginner to experienced.The ice climbing is amazing with multiple locations to choose from. The instructors are top notch and super qualified . very nice people and pass on lots and lots of knowledge. once again..... Thank you Damien and skyhook for a great trip.

It takes only two days to visit Tarangire and Ngorongoro and I would say it's a must. Both have beautiful nature and spectacular wildlife. With a bit of luck one can see big five in just two days. My guide Joseph anticipated well wildlife behaviour giving me a chance for some nice pictures. He also drove safely all the way from Moshi and back and in the parks. It was a very nice addition to my Kilimanjaro trek

It was a really good experience and trip all together. I highly recommend this journey for everyone, but one thing to make clear, it's not for unskilled hikers. This trip takes bit of an experience, otherwise the person who attends it can easily fail. I mean I thought I am experienced enough because I climbed up till 2500 meters but this was different, I really felt it and it wasn't easy. The acclimatisation hike was the hardest for me, after reaching the peak was way more easier but still I should have a mental fitness to reach myself with the thoughts "I can do this". We started around 5.30 and it was pretty cold and heavy wind, and close to the top is the hardest cuz I saw the peak and still it took another 10-15 minutes to reach it on rocky road in the heavy wind. So it's not that easy how it seems and it takes bit of an experience I think.
But I am really happy I made it and we reached the peak first, so it was really great. Food and accommodation was as I expected and it was pretty enough for all our needs. :)

From the minute I arrived at the airport and immediately saw my driver, all the way to the summit, and then back the airport, the Skyhook team took care of us every step of the way. At first I was skeptical because skyhook offers prices drastically lower than any of the other companies. But on day one of the trip, I knew there would be no issue. They have the best equipment, porters, and guides on the mountain that are experienced and more than happy to help. If you are looking to climb Kilimanjaro, look no further.
Travelled on: Kilimanjaro Machame (6 Day Trek)
Would I like to do it again? Most probably not.
Am I happy that I did it? Absolutely.
Our small group was lead by Bruno, who ascended the mountain more than 250 times. Under such experienced leadership it was still very challenging. As Bruno said before the last night climb to the peak, it's not about training or peparation, it's about the willpower. But I guess it's combination of both that takes you to the top. And the trek crew, without which it would be almost impossible. Although my bag arrived some time later than me at the first camp, but during the rest of the days the guys earned my full respect and appreciation of their hard work. Overall, very well organized tour from a pick up at the airport to the Uhuru peak and equally importantly all the way down. Very positive experience.
Travelled on: Kilimanjaro Machame (6 Day Trek)
Without a doubt it was fabulous trip full of challenges which tested my limits. Our guides Bruno, Ilyas, Noel and the rest of the team was thorough professionals with great sense of humour and looked after our needs to the best. I am forever indebted to their warm melodious hospitality. The information provided by Skyhook was generic from their website but no further communication took place between us regarding the group details and follow up has not been provided. I would have expected more details on the trip before I landed in Kilimanjaro. Overall I am satisfied with the excursion.

I loved this trip to combine my love of the snow from my many snowboarding Holidays and my enjoyment of climbing into one adventure. I’m not as experienced in climbing as my wife but this didn’t matter as you didn’t need any experience (it does help to have some but this is just to make it more enjoyable). It’s Very well organised. You learnt a lot in such a short time. The instructors were very patient and encouraging and their love of the sport showed, encouraging you even more.

Best trip I have done! I love snowboarding and recently have got into hiking and other adventures. I have been climbing for 2 years now and this trip was so lovely to bring together some of my hobbies, my love of snow and the great outdoors and my passion of climbing. I can’t thank skyhook enough for this wonderful experience. The pictures didn’t even credit it enough how beautiful it was.
Tim and Lars were great patient instructors and loved sharing their passion of this sport with us. Thank you!

Absolutely amazing experience. One of the most organized and friendly hostiles I've ever been to! The guides were both extremely informed, well spoken, and just great people to hang out with. The first day of the improver course we all got together did some climbing and review of basics, and then broke up into smaller 1:2 ratio groups to go over goal specific stuff.
I learned a lot, had a blast, and will definitely be back to Norway in the short future. 10/10 recommendation for this course.

nature of nepal:). after we returned in kathmandu, we had a few more days to explore kathmandu and for sure, to enjoy the nightlife of nepal. also there, lhakpa was our guide, altough the tour had ended.

My husband and I just finished our trek to Everest base camp in Nepal and it was incredible! It was the trip of a lifetime. Our guide lakpa sona and his awesome dad/guide nuru were especially exceptional! Lakpa was everything our group needed and more. He was very knowledgeable throughout the trek and made the entire experience more enjoyable. Although our tour group started as strangers we ended as friends, including lakpa. We were a bit crazy at times but lakpa stayed professional throughout while still making sure we had a great time. Not only was he our guide for EBC but he stayed with us till the end when we finally departed Kathmandu (even after we missed our flight). He knew cool places for us to go and made sure we enjoyed our trip while staying safe. Also big shoutout to the porters! We would not have made it to the top without any one of them!! Would thoroughly recommend to any family or friends.

I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants a challenge or wants to try something new...but definitely request Nurbu and his team top class!!!

We did a 12 days EBC Trek in October with Skyhook and their fantastic team from Freedom Adventures (Phura Gelzen Sherpa, Phura 2, Anil Raii, Santosh Sewa and all porters). The trek was simply unforgettable. We were very well looked after from the moment we have landed in Kathmandu. The accommodation in the city and in the mountains were great, places we have eaten offered variety of tasty meals, we had access to hot showers and wi-fi wherever that was possible. Trekking was never boring as Phura and his Team entertained group with songs and dances and they were supporting us during those difficult times making sure we are drinking water and taking breaks.
We truly had an amazing time from start to finish and will highly recommend Skyhook and Freedom Adventures to anyone who is looking to do EBC or similar trip. Huge THANK YOU to all for looking after us and for those beautiful memories you give us!

Our local Nepal Guide Tika Ram was beyond amazing with his service and safety focus! He never relented keeping us the customer #1 every step of the way!
Our Nepal Porter Naresh Rai was equally amazing carrying our bigger bags the entire journey with quiet and kindness and strength!
Both these gentleman represented their company and organization and country in the best way possible. 5 Star Super Service! I hope any of you on a future Trek get one or both of these fine men! Truly kind great people and two people we have been blessed to meet and call friends.
Had a lot of fun completing so many miles on foot......we can’t forget:
- Tika Time!
- Nepali Flat!
- Around The Corner!
- Baaaaa Baaaaaa!
- The sound of a Yak Bell!
- And our favorite Tika line......from Dude Where’s My Car.....And Thennnnnn?

In September/October 2019 I went on the Kilimanjaro trek, Machame route, and it was the most incredible experience of my life. The guides (Michael, Noel, and Lawrence) took the best care of the entire group and specifically me when I was not feeling the best. There is no way I could have done it without their expertise. Also, not enough can be said about the service the porters provide, our tents would be set up and ready to go before we got to each camp, the food was really good, and they were all super nice. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone considering it. My group I went with are currently planning another trip together because of how much fun we had and the bond we made with each other.
Travelled on: Kilimanjaro Machame (6 Day Trek)
I will not be able to say enough about how awesome this experience has been! After nearly 6 months of preparation it all came together and went exceptionally well with the guidance of skyhook and their incredibly talented primary guide, Furaa Sherpa. Furaa did a fantastic job! His emphasis on safety, camaraderie, having fun, and assessing our strengths and areas for growth was phenomenal.
Skyhook put together a fantastic team comprised of lead Sherpa, Furaa, assistant guide, Sunil and two Porter’s. We were challenged appropriately and all four of us successfully made it to Everest base camp. I will always remember this experience and look forward to utilizing Skyhook in the future for other trips (currently booked for Kilimanjaro in October!). I have no reservations regarding their competency to put together these kind of adventures safely and efficiently. I Highly recommend.

I booked the group trek to Everest Base Camp. What a fantastic trek with an amazing group of people and guides! Pujan, Tika and Ngima were first class and made sure we were safe, enjoyed ourselves, educated us on the region and became friends that I shall stay in touch with. We had a 100% success rate on reaching base camp, which I can safely say was down to the guides expertise and help from the porters; Pradip, Ngima, Padam and Ramesh. I hope this team can continue to work together and bring success to many others! Thank you for an unforgettable holiday and providing a great service.

Had an amazing time on this tour. Our group of 7 all made it to the summit, and the porters were fantastic. We were led by Bryson, with support from Innocent, Stanley on most of the walks. The rest of the team ensured we were fed, watered and comfortable at all stages. They looked after us so well, amazing food, support and energy throughout the whole trip. The route is great. It is challenging, so you need a good level of fitness, however it achievable thanks to the experience of the porters. Thank you Skyhook and Ahsanti tours for making this an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this trip, and will be booking other excursions for next year.

I'll admit I was a little nervous with the lack of communication in the days prior to the trip but that is literally my only issue. We were met on time and from that point everything was organised fantastically. The accommodation in all 3 locations was beyond what I expected and the food was good enough that I'm surprised I didn't put weight on despite the hike. Our guide was called Abdel - he was good fun and very knowledgeable. He made sure we moved at a good pace but never more than we could manage. The summit at 4 am in particular is an obvious highlight of the trip as you make your way up using head torches (buy a good one - mine was rubbish!). I'd recommend the trip and Skyhook massively and the company was brilliantly represented by Hussein and the Moroccan employees.

Just back from Mount Toubkal and what a fantastic trip. From start to finish the team looked after us really well. Hussein and Omar were really great guides. Lots of chats and laughs and most importantly encouragement.
Both Riads were really nice and the food was excellent. The mountain lodge is noisy but that’s what you get in these types of hostels so it wasn’t an issue.
The 2nd day of hiking is long and it’s difficult enough so you do need a good level of fitness. But the views were so worth it. Overall a fantastic experience, the trek, the people and the fantastic company. I would def recommend.

I met some wonderful people I now call friends. I pushed myself beyond my limits. I lost my toenail, got altitude sickness and was totally overwhelmed when our group finally disbanded, but I will never forget how wonderful the whole experience was.

During the trek we were treated so well, we were fed like royalty, the guides gave us so much knowledge, and responded to our group so well. It was my first trip of a lifetime, and I look forward to more using Damien and team at Skyhook!

All in all the hike was great.
Our guide, John, was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable about the local wildlife and plants.
The pace was very slow at times but that’s just because we had some unfit people in the team that John expertly managed.
The reason I’ve only give 4 stars is just because we found the food a bit bland. This is just a personal view, but we personally would have liked some more Kenyan and African food.
I would still recommend this trip to anyone.

So, just finished the best guided tour of Mont Blanc I could ever have imagined.
The trip started out as a bit of a nightmare with airport delays and the most expensive taxi ride I have ever had!
The stay at Vert Lodge was very nice and the evening meal we had was extra special.
The first day meeting everyone was made easy by our guides Tom and Guy and the laughs started even before the briefing.
Tom was always open to ANY questions at any time along the route 😁 and both Tom and Guy were very knowledgeable on everything about the region.
The pace was perfect and at no time did we feel any pressure, just as long as we enjoyed the experience and we all truly did!
Such a nice group of people I can honestly say, I have never met before. Such a good laugh and supportive all the way, no dramas and always flexible all that was needed was to enjoy the amazing scenery.
Book it, do it, you will NOT be disappointed.

I've now been on three ice climbing courses with Skyhook, and each one has been excellent through and through.
Ice climbing can be a daunting activity, especially if you don't have vast amounts of climbing experience (like myself), but every single one of the instructors that I've worked with on the courses has been fantastic, doing everything in their power to put you at ease and allow you to have an enjoyable time, while also pushing your limits.
I would not hesitate to recommend Skyhook and, in fact, I will most likely be back next season for some more ice climbing.

I enjoyed the trip & the experience. The Ice climbing was spectacular. The Hostel is great although under renovation, that being said there were other hostelers that showed no consideration for other guests and were blasé about arriving late at night when people were sleeping, then bringing all their shopping into the dormitory. If that wasn't frustrating enough, they then proceeded to wake everyone early in the morning too! I and 1 other changed rooms. The other issue I experienced was the fact that after I hired a car Skyhook continually failed to put me in touch with the other participants of the group I was in. I could wait no longer for the flights (Prices going up) so booked my flights. Skyhook then said it was unable to put us in touch because of data protection. I did eventually make contact with one other member about 3 weeks before the trip via the faceook group however that participant came on a different day The other 2 participants never joined the facebook group. So I had to bare the whole cost of the car, a little frustrating at Norwegian prices. A tad galling too that my car was then used to shuttle the group around!
To sum up, although a couple of negatives, the trip was fantastic, the Guides are excellent, the Hostel staff were fantastic & very helpful, just a small group of the fellow guests that were not so.

Adventure of a lifetime!
I just got back a while ago from my trek through the Himalayas and I still cannot stop thinking about the incredible, life-changing experience. Let me start from the beginning... I had always wanted to trek to the legendary Everest Base Camp, and decided that 2018 would be my year to accomplish my goal. I wanted to go with a reputable and fun trekking company, and researched many companies in the process. I came across Skyhook on Facebook and was immediately intruiged. From the start, I was impressed with Alan and Damien, as well as the stellar reviews of their trips. I knew I had to sign up, and booked the trek for October 13th shortly after.
From my arrival in Nepal, I knew I had made the right choice. Our guides were all wonderful, and became fast friends. Everyone in the group was such a joy to be around. I couldn't have asked for a better group of people. The porters were always all smiles and hard working. I would not have completed the trek without any of these people.
As for the trek... it is simply unreal. Walking amongst some of the highest peaks in the world really humbles you. It makes you dream of reaching higher mountains and walking on more treks. And it's not just the majestic Himalayas. It's the culture. It's the food. It's the teahouse experiences. Be prepared to be in awe of the landscape. Be prepared to fall in love with this place and the people that live there. Be prepared to fall in love again with life, and daydream about future treks in the area. Be prepared to miss the mountains like crazy when you go home.
I cannot wait to go on another trip with Skyhook; they are the best!

Had a great trip to the Atlas Mountains. The guides were great and climbing to the top in the snow and sun rise was amazing.

Where to begin? From start to finish you're well and truly looked after and will quickly realise that you're not a customer but have become a friend of the Skyhook Team. Damien is super approachable, friendly and helpful and will go above and beyond to ensure you have an easy and awesome experience from the get go. Then there's the trip itself... I can't really put into words what a life changing experience it has been. The EBC trek is mesmerising with breathtaking, unforgettable views and scenery. The Nepalise culture will suck you in and you instantly feel immense peace and joy. The trek itself has been well thought out to ensure you have the most enjoyable experience possible with minimising stress every step of the way from giving you time to really take every moment in, to the guides who bend over backwards around the clock. On that note the guides and porters are incredible! The best part of the experience was our guides! Leading the pack was a man who hands down won over everyone's heart. He truly was a inspiration to all and one of the most beautiful souls I've ever had the pleasure of coming across. This trek alone was worth every penny just for getting to spend time and get to meet this lifelong, amazing friend. Much love and respect to you Hari, Namaste! ???? As for the young guides Lahkba, Raj and Benji, these guys run around for you constantly and have your back constantly. True legends and also now lifelong friends. What an amazing experience and cannot wait to book onto the many other trips Skyhook run! Thanks legends ????????
