Our guide, Shem, was absolutely fabulous. He was an absolute delight and a total joy to spend time with. His knowledge was extensive and his calm demeanour and quiet wisdom and dignity made us feel totally safe and secure. The team of chef and porters that Shem brought with him were also superstars. They were absolutely delightful and totally attentive to every need. The food was amazingly delicious and (almost) excessively generous. I recommend Claudious tours unreservedly.

Our hike up Mt. Olympus with Stavros was absolutely incredible from start to finish. He was kind, patient, and incredibly safety-conscious - we truly could not have reached Scala Peak in the snowy conditions without his guidance and expertise. Stavros made us feel comfortable and confident every step of the way, and his passion for the mountain really shone through.

What made the day even more special was that my boyfriend surprised me with a proposal at the summit! Stavros somehow managed to discreetly capture the entire moment on video, it’s absolutely perfect and something we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives.

We can’t thank him enough for helping make this such a magical, once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you’re planning to hike Mt. Olympus, we couldn’t recommend Stavros more highly, he’s simply the best!

Marco was an awesome guide and I had a wonderful experience! He also captured amazing photos of the group. He was really nice and made sure I was comfortable as a first timer!

I really wanted to climb Mount Triglav, the most iconic peak of Slovenia, but I had no prior via ferrata experience. While searching online, I found a guided hike with a professional mountain guide, so I decided to trust it and join.

There were seven of us in total — one couple and five solo hikers — all guided by Mitja Šorn. My Triglav peak hike that day was perfect in every way. The weather was clear, so we could climb with a bright blue sky behind the mountain, and everyone in the group had great energy and personality, which made the day even more enjoyable.

Our guide, Mitja Šorn, did an excellent job pacing us so that we could save our strength until the end of the hike. His experience and professionalism were immediately apparent, and he made us feel completely safe.

The via ferrata section from the mountain hut to the summit was both challenging and thrilling. Since this was my very first via ferrata experience, doing it on Triglav made it all the more unforgettable. If anyone I know plans to visit Slovenia, I’ll definitely recommend the Triglav summit hike to them.

Really profesional, flexible, cheerful and attentive

We climbed the Mountaineering route Mt Whitney. Simran is a passionate mountaineering guide. Fun and very professional.

Mt Triglav, Slovenia: What an amazing trip; loved every minute of it. Rok was an excellent guide in all senses: pace, group care, knowledge, background information ... Everything was made easy/simple, which is really appreciated when time is limited. We would love to do more hikes with Explore-Share. Thanks so much!

He was warm and friendly. He understood that we are new to the via ferrata experience so he was patient and helpful.
Because of this we were able to complete the climb safely and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and want to do it again!

(Takes great photos too!)

I went with Jaime from Andean Summit Adventure in Quito, Ecuador to the summit of Cotopaxi and Chimborazo. Jaime is an excellent guide, highly recommended if you plan to summit any mountain in Ecuador!

Also, Elisabeth helped me organize the private tour with Jaime and the whole process went smoothly and efficiently.

It was a perfect day. We loved our via ferrata adventure with Federico. I would gladly sign up for another adventure.

Great accomodation, great experience. Fabio was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommended

Livio was exceptionally skilled and very patient. He gave great directions and we made it to the top. It was an outstanding experience. I would highly recommend Livio and explore-share as a guide service.

Wonderful, Koji san is the best.

It was incredible to meet such a climbing legend as my guide, I had a great time.

Robert was terrific, he selected a ferrata that was perfect for our ability and showed us the ropes. Highly recommend!

I booked this trip because I was very curious to experience DWS and doing it with an experienced guide felt like the safest way to do so. It was definitely a good choice. If you're doubting it I recommend booking and I hope you get paired up with our guide Noè aswell since he was truly amazing. Some extra tips for those that do plan the trip. Make sure you rent a car, preferably together with the other people joining in on the trip. The accommodation was nice but you do sleep together in the same room as the others so bring some earplugs if you're a light sleeper. And please do bring comfortable climbing and water shoes as you'll be walking and climbing alot and you don't want to end up with blisters the first day.

We had an amazing time with Brent and it was the highlight of our trip. It was perfectly suited for us and a great way for us to try multi-pitch climbing. Brent was very knowledgeable and we felt that we were in safe hands the whole time. We would definitely do this again if we were in Canmore again.

A Very friendly guide who knows what he is doing.

I had an amazing experience climbing mt.triglav. It was my first real summit using via Ferrara and I am already planning my next adventure.
My guide Mitja was very knowledgeable in regards to the mountain and showed a real commitment to our safety, always checking the weather and had us make the summit in the perfect timing, weather was due to turn and it did right as we returned to our accomodation , All in all a great experience. I can’t fault it
