Dominika Degelo

Switzerland

"Would simply say to other climbers if they want the best possible experience go with Adventure Consultants. I can honestly say I think about the whole Everest experience every day of my life and reminisce what an incredible trip it was and how lucky I was to share it with such wonderful people. As Guy says, keep doing it AC style.
Everest Expedition"

Mattias Larsson

Sweden

"Except for getting us to the summit in a splendid way, the most important thing for me was the way I learned to live in the moment. I will carry that with me for a long time. I learned so much about life and about myself, it went far beyond just reaching the summit. I am very grateful to our guides for that!
Aconcagua Expedition"

Carol McAlwee

Australia

"I have had this dream since I was 13, and it is only with your help that I have been able to achieve it. Adventure Consultants is a company, a business, but it is something that also goes well beyond that and I thank you immensely for helping me with my dream.
South Pole Ski the Last Degree Expedition"

Paul Hameister

Australia

"Maximisation of chance to get to the top would be the main reason I would recommend Adventure Consultants. Small group numbers and flexibility. Detailed dispatches were greatly appreciated. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip and never once felt fear or apprehension. Looking forward to climbing with AC again.

"AC provided a great experience, which I would not hesitate in recommending to friends. Based on my experience, AC's reputation as a premium guiding company is consistent with the high level of service they provide.

Dianne Walker

"I would certainly recommend AC… competent, experienced staff, terrific personalities aware of dangers and helpful to all. The best organisation I have dealt with...you get what you pay for.
Mera Peak"

Thomas Adams

"Highly recommended. The Dhaulagiri expedition was well organised, well-resourced and led by a highly experienced, motivated and competent team of guides supported by Sherpa. The environment on the mountain is high risk and thus paying for this level of support is key to a safe and successful trip. This was the reason that I chose AC for my first 8000m expedition and I consider this to have been an excellent decision.

"The Everest Base Camp trek was a lifelong dream for me. However, just because one has decided to pursue a life’s dream doesn’t mean one will return home with a trip of a lifetime. You were indispensable in me being able to handle the day-today challenges of the trek. For this I am forever grateful.

Mont Blanc Course and Ascent"

Ashley Alder

Hong Kong

"What I got was far superior to the normal experience with local guides (on many levels)… superb guides who will teach in an environment with reliable weather, a massive variety of routes, and push you fairly hard but also stick within an acceptable margin of safety.

Warren Symons

New Zealand

"I wanted to let you know the fantastic experience I had whilst on the Ice Climbing Course at Wye Creek, Queenstown N.Z. A very challenging course for me being new to ice climbing, but I would have been disappointed had the course been any easier. Professionally run operation by A.C. down to finer details of meals and pre-course arrangements by administration staff. A special thanks to Dean Staples course guide, incredible talent and skills.

Guides

Graham Keene

"Steve judged the different characters on the expedition very well and everyone warmed to his clear but understated manner. His logistical management of both the equipment and provisions was faultless. When necessary he made sure that the team knew that we were about to enter a more dangerous or challenging section that needed our full attention. His cheese cake was a dream!

Caroline Rudolph

USA

"The level of coordination Adventure Consultants provided to us was incredible, and so useful. They took all of the “guess-work” out of planning for this trip, and we had constant support available to answer all of our questions. They could not have been more helpful or provided more expertise/assistant in planning our honeymoon! It was truly an unforgettable trek, and I don’t think we could have had the same experience if a different company had planned it.

Food and Accommodation

"Not often does the food pick up when you leave a hotel and move into tents!

"The food was consistently outstanding! The only problem was maybe that we had too much! I had a fantastic trip.
Alpamayo Expedition"

David Marriott

New Zealand

"Meals and snacks/morning and afternoon teas were very good indeed. The tea houses were better than expected as there was a hot shower 4 out of 5 times, and laundry could be bought cheaply on the times when we were at a location more than one night.
Mustang Horse Trek, 2016"

Caroline Rudolph

USA

"All excellent!! We both remarked how well the meals were on the mountain, it really is astonishing how excellently the meals were prepared even at high altitude! The meals at the lodges and safari camps we stayed at were all excellent as well. We did not have a bad meal the entire time we were there!

Dale West

"My fourth trip with AC and this was the best yet. The extra cost up front is an investment repaid by quality people, logistics, facilities, food, experience, program and process. If you ever hear I have gone with someone else... it is not me.

"Base Camp was amazing!! I loved the food, facilities and all the wonderful people who served us while we were there – the food was wonderful – it couldn’t be improved on in any way shape or form and will always be a magical and memorable 2 days in my life.
