Excellent. personal and flexible trip. The guide allowed me to climb mount olympus safely at age 60... on my bucket list

Doru and Valentina put top ropes on the all 7 routes (for the whole day) on the Pescatore crag on Telendos Island Greece. They acted like they owned the crag, not letting anyone else climb. They were very aggressive when other climbers wanted to climb any of the routes there. They did not care about anyone, only about the money they charged for the climbing there. This was part of the Kalymnos Rock Climbing Camp: Beginner and Intermediate, which is advertised on the Explore-share website:
www. explore-share.com /mountain-guide/abc-climbing/
This is standard practice on Kalymnos Climbing Camp, not an incident. I spoke to other climbers and they have the same issue with the crags being blocked.

Went climbing with Giordano in the Suirana area, on 29-sept-2024.

10/10 experience with a lot of room for your own preferences! Safe, fun and amazing trip!

Booking the trip was great, I got a ton of good advice what area would be best for my experience and level.

I was linked to Giordano, a enthusiastic and seasoned climber that knows how to get the best from you and makes sure you learn along the way.

The routes he picked were fun and great for my level, he gave me options I could chose from.

I wanted to see the really hard routes, and we made a short detour to check them out and he gave a lot of background info of the area, the rock, and the climbers who are important to the local climbing scene.

Marco helped us get accustomed with the gear, belaying and all that and we felt safe all the way. This was our first multi pitch experience and is sure was the highlight of our trip! Hope to come again

I've been using y'all for years and everything has been great.

The host and guide at Urørt were perfect! Really made us feel welcome! Super nice experience! The pace was perfect and trails challenging and beautiful!

Explore-Share were excellent, connecting me with an excellent local climbing guide. Robert (the guide) was really great checking in before the trip to make sure we picked a route that matched what I was looking for. And we had a fantastic day out on the climb!

Toti was a phenomenal guide. He is extremely experienced and knowledgeable, taught us so much, and was a pleasure to climb with. Our multi pitch summit of Montserrat will be a treasured memory for my son and I for our whole lives!

Great & excellence mountain hike & climb to the top of Triglav guided by Rok & Matej. Although the view at the top was foggy but the most important thing is we made it the top safely.

I booked a tour with this company but encountered serious issues that should make anyone think twice before doing business with them. Despite booking a week in advance, I was told I couldn’t cancel because their policy requires a 21-day notice, which is impossible in my case. I paid over $900, and due to a medical emergency (which I provided proof for, including MRI and brain x-rays), I couldn’t attend. They refused to offer any refund or compensation, despite my serious condition and the fact that I didn’t use any of the services—no transport, no lodging, no food.

They claim they spent money on logistics, but I didn’t use any of it, so I should have been entitled to at least a partial refund. Instead, they kept everything, showing zero flexibility or concern for their customers. Other companies offer better pricing and actual customer care, including medical emergency policies. Don’t waste your money here—find a more reputable and customer-friendly tour provider.

My group was fortunate enough to get to work with Klaus Gruber for our klettersteig adventure. It was a truly unreal experience. The guy is the best in the business and our climb was lights out. He was prepared, helpful, knowledgeable, and overall just fun to spend the day with. Thankful that we got to experience climbing in Austria and even more thankful we got partnered with Klaus. Great guy.

I found Percy the mountaineering guide from explore-share for my Peru climbing trip. Percy is one of the most experienced guide in the area and he planned the trip very well, so I got my acclimatization well and mentally and physically prepared for the climb, and eventually achieved all my climbing goals and summited all peaks. Will recommend Percy to everyone.

My partner and I had Gareth as our guide and he was brilliant. His knowledge and history of the mountains made for good conversations and his endurance and patience was greatly appreciated on our climb. We didn't know what to expect but Gareth guided us on the path we were taking going up and the other path we would take descending down. I found it challenging at times but Gareth was always patient and truthfully reassuring on the types of steepness we faced and was able to put time/kilometres on it too, which encouraged me to push myself. He was very welcoming to small breaks and also kindly captured pictures and videos of me and my partner as we climbed, which is nice to look back on. Overall, I highly recommend this service. As first time climbers, the Rhyd Ddu path was challenging but so worth it as it was a beautiful, quieter path to climb. I specifically booked this service as a birthday surprise for my partner and loved the fact we were not part of a group and were able to enjoy the experience together. Keep up the great work and I'll be sure to pass on these details to anyone interested in climbing.

Juan Carlos was an exceptional guide and quite a great help at different points throughout the trip. When my primary guide couldn’t make it, Juan Carlos stepped up. He helped me get a more-fitting set of crampons for the trip, he helped along the route, and he accommodated when I asked to break, move faster, or divert. Many guides I’ve had in the past did what they wanted. He respected my experience and my asks. This was a great trip, we pushed through the questionable weather, and made it to the summit.

Pont-à-Lesse via ferrata is gorgeous, and Willy is the best guide one can wish for: very knowledgeable and calm. This was my very first ferrata, and Willy helped me feel and be safe. Many thanks!

I've booked multiple experiences with explore share from climbing mt. elbrus to a multipitching in Montserrat, Spain. They're always very helpful and the adventures are great!

Chikka made this trip for us.Her knowledge of Mt Fuji and her constant interpretation of weather forecasts ensured we made it to the top of this beautiful mountain.My Dad and I have achieved something beautiful together all thanks to Chikka.Its not only mountains with Chikka,she answered any Qs we had on Japanese society,folklore or any other topic.We went up Fuji as Father,Son and Guide,we came down as 3 friends.Forever grateful Chikka

We booked with SW&C for the North Ridge on Tryfan, with the goal being to let my 12 year-old daughter climb a mountain in the UK that you can’t walk to the top of. I’m so glad we did. We had the best day out despite the classic Welsh weather, and our guide made the whole thing totally stress-free, including navigating with visibility down to 10 feet or so at some points, taking loads of photos of us, showing the easiest moves for the “crux” and having a generally encyclopaedic knowledge of the mountain and related areas in general. I can’t recommend SW&C highly enough!

Jaime was a great professional, I really appreciate his help and patience, which made me reach summit of Huayna Potosi and return safely. Before my arrival, he viewed my itinerary of red-eye arrival on the 1st day morning, and proposed to switch first day plan to have better rest. On the summit day, he didn't forced me to walk faster, I could walk in my own pace and able to take pause almost each 10 minutes. We were the last team arrived summit, however, we could have whole view from summit only for ourselves. In return, he pushed me to walk bit faster, to avoid eventual risk of melting snow (ice). Also, thank you for explore-share team made me meet Jaime and have great experience.

Rock Climbing and Via Ferrata in Dolomites.
We never imagined our guide could have such a great impact in our experience. Giovanny guided us with the most contagious and positive energy. He made our trip an unforgettable and incredible experience. What we wanted to do was always the priority, and he helped us plan the best trip accordingly. He was an expert in the mountains, their history, and mountaineering. We always felt safe and in great hands. Giovanny was the best guide we could have asked for.
