“Essential Adventure arranged our stag do. We wanted a survival type weekend and that's exactly what we got. I was able to contact Matt easily at practically anytime with any inquiries and he was very helpful in answering my questions. The payment set up was the really straightforward bit which was very helpful. Everything was laid out and personalised so that each individual knew what they needed to pay. They provided a kit list for the weekend and offered to arrange any additions eg extra nights accommodation or club entry if we wanted it. The week's itself was brilliant. Our guide/instructor Andy was a great guy who looked after us all weekend and in spite of it being the beginning of March and pretty cold, we stayed warm and dry. Learned how to pitch our camp, light campfires, build shelters, prepare our food, did some shooting, knife throwing, and the inevitable spoon making which turned out to be quite competitive. Loved it. The guys had a great time and it will be long remembered. Very grateful to Essential Adventure for organising it and taking the stress out of it for me as the best man. Would definitely book with them again.”

“Very good website and easy to use, the people on the phone were helpful, informative and offered suggestion or options when I had overlooked or not thought about something, showing they cared about the events being booked rather than are there just to sell sell sell. We will happily use them again so now we just need another stag do to plan :-)”

“I booked accommodation with Essential Adventures. They were very helpful in finding accommodation that would house a large group of us - 21 people - which was located reasonably close to Bristol. They also offered help in booking other activities for the weekend too but we didn't need any help with this. The payment method of providing emails and having individuals pay for themselves was simple and easy. All in all I'd recommend Essential Adventures.”

“I was over the moon with both the service and my time away. Although I had to change the dates that I arranged this was never a problem they let me re arrange for a date that was best for myself which I was over the moon with. Also we were in a beautiful hotel that had lovely staff and we had a great time doing the activities we chose. I'm so happy I booked with Essential Adventures couldn't fault them one bit and thank you so much!! Would definitely recommend and I will definitely be booking again through Essential Adventures. Emma :)”

“Excellent events (although the Zorb football nearly killed me). The food offering at the afternoon event left more than a little to be desired but overall everyone had a fabulous time.”

“Matt made planning our Carrera competition adventure such a breeze. From initial discussions to implementation, Essential Adventures were very accommodating throughout. Our competition winners thoroughly enjoyed the weekend thanks to Matt's planning over the weekend. We would certainly use essential adventure to plan futures activities. Thank you Matt and Team!”

“I booked a weekend away in November, I started planning this in Feb/March 2015- Mat listened to what I wanted and provided me with all the information that I needed. He organised the whole event for me, taking the stress out of contacting people, collecting money and phoning events etc. I would definitely recommend this service in the future and use them again. shelly”

“We wanted to get away and do some team building activities and opted to go with Essential Adventure. We opted to undertake the challenge of the Escape Rooms, followed by the Segway Tour and Olympics in the afternoon. What a fun day we had! The escape rooms were great, a real challenge and being out and about in the afternoon in the fresh air was great, the weather held out thankfully. Of course, the bravado and competitiveness showed throughout the day but all in good humour. The organisation of the event was terrific and a good day was had by all. We were all absolutely whacked by the evening! Thank you to Essential Adventure.”

“I found this website a really helpful tool in organising my sister in laws hen weekend. Matt was very supportive and I felt that much of the stress associated with organising the event was diminished as a result. The weekend package represented good value for money. Somewhat disappointed with the Dreamboys venue and performance at Bristol compared to my previous experience of Dreamboys in Birmingham. Overall happy with the service provided and I would recommend this website for anyone involved in the organising of an event!!!”

Hi Louisa Many thanks for your feedback. I'm glad I was able to help you organise the Hen Do. I hope everyone had a great weekend. Sorry however to hear about Dreamboys. Was there a particular aspect of the event which you didn't enjoy? Matt, Essential Adventure.

“Very happy with the service provided by Matt and provided good advice on activities. A little bit of improvement is needed on the website and the account side of things once booked, not always easy to navigate but Matt was always able to help. Overall very happy and should the situation arise I would look to use them again.”
