  • Reviewer: Stephen located in Canada
    When I decided four years ago to complete the Seven Summits, I wanted to try a different guide company for all of my climbs until I found one that I was comfortable with, had the experience on all the summits and met all my expectations.  After using three other companies, I am now in the process of planning my third climb with Adventure Consultants.
  • Reviewer: Dave located in USA
    Good guides understand that part of the payoff is the opportunity to help create on of life's most powerful experiences for someone they've just met.  I salute the guides of Adventure Consultants, who do just that every time they lead an expedition.
  • Reviewer: Dominic located in UK
    May I take this opportunity to thank Adventure Consultants for putting me on top of the world on May 13, 2011, it was a lifelong ambition to climb Everest, and I only believe it starts to sink in 6 months later!
