FANTASTIC!!!! A private group for 6 Australian girls, customised to suit our travelling time. Absolutely LOVED it. Jen our guide was just amazing in every way. Professional, caring, fun, sooo knowledgable. The itinerary was brilliant. Probably the best walk and week I have spent with a group of friends.

Overall a fantastic five star experience. Let’s start with the team of guides, Jennifer Stretton and Sophie Nolan. They were an organized, fun, and flexible team. There is really no way to describe how awesome they both were from start to finish — on every aspect of the trip. They both had extreme attention to detail and took care of everything we could have needed. They provided leadership but also blended in so well with the group and really made the experience fun.

I cannot speak highly enough of Jen. She is talented, personable, knowledgeable, safety-conscious, and in all other ways excellent. Jen added a lot to the trip with her knowledge of the biota, the geology and geography, and the history.  The nightly map talks meant that the group always had a strong sense of what the day would bring. She managed the different paces of the clients extremely well, keeping the jackrabbits on a bit of a lead and not letting the slowest hiker dictate the pace for all. She were safety-conscious in many small ways that may have gone unnoticed, ranging from an emphasis on hydration, to advising on the appropriate footwear for the day, to pointing out the right sequence of steps in a tricky spot.

Dear Jen, you are a wonderful guide and leader. We learned from you everyday of our journey. We appreciated how you took care of us each day and we admired how you dealt with our challenges. Above all we appreciated the chance to get to know such a good heart and mind and enjoyed philosophising with you along the way. Thank you for everything! We hope to get to see you again.

Thank you so much for being such a wonderful guide and person. What makes a good guide to me is one that I feel I have made a friend for life. I hope that we stay in touch with each other!

From the first day of our journey, you expertly led us on a dream vacation. But more importantly, you welcomed us into your lives and seamlessly became our friends. And for this, I cannot thank you enough.

I have travelled with other “high end” companies including Tauck Tours, Butterfield & Robinson, and AbercrombieKent…None of the leaders on any of my other trips could hold a candle to Jen.
(Kay Wagner, 2018)

What an amazing adventure! The scenery, weather, food and accommodations were all spectacular!! Of course the silver lining was having you and Sophie as our experienced guides! I know there were a lot of behind the scenes phone calls, shopping and organizing but you two made it seem effortless!

Dear Jen, I wanted to thank you for making this trip to Mont Blanc a wonderful experience. You are very gifted in handling groups. You have maturity beyond your years and you are a delight to be with. You are very witty and funny but under it all you are very professional in making sure everyone is together and sage. All that made this trip a complete success and five stars.
