We couldn’t have wished for a better guide - Maxime was very friendly and great with the children who loved the biscuits and drinks he brought with him and we appreciated the tea and coffee he provided

Our instructor was very kind, patient and cheerful. He too loved being out on the mountain. He was extremely informative on the terrain, the history, the lives of the people and the areas nature. He carried a powerful telescope so we could see the elusive wild goats. And when it was time to stop produced green tea and a local syrup to revive us all

He was great! He took us away from the noise and crowds where all you could hear are birds and all you could see are mountains.
