I will be recommending Salamander to all my friends! They exceeded my expectations with beautiful accommodations and amazing picnic lunches with gourmet cheeses, meats and fresh bread. Our guide was experienced and knowledgeable and I enjoyed learning from him. It was overall a fantastic experience, I will definitely be booking another tour with Salamander.

The views were an awesome experience. Some were breathtaking! Our guide, Oli was great and kept the group together on steep descents for safety reasons. My only suggestion would be that pre-made sandwiches would available for lunch picnics as opposed to distributing the cold cuts, cheese, tomatoes, condiments and baguettes to be carried in everyone’s backpack. Overall, I felt the tour was fairly priced and was a great trip.

Beautiful experience. However, be aware that the guide will change the daily routes based on his judgment on weather and the group’s ability. Not on a single person.

Tour du Mont Blanc This is a great trek which I would recommend to anyone. The hotels varied in quality but the most welcoming and helpful was the Hotel Astoria in La Palud. We even elected to stay there a further night!

Outstanding trip, very well organized and planned by Salamander Adventures. I can't thank them enough for such an amazing adventure. The food, itinerary, guidance, alternate routes for preference and weather, baggage transfers: it was all perfect. Thank you Salamander Tours! We spoke with many people on the tour going clockwise and most regretted not taking the direction Salamander recommends. Great hotels and amenities.

My family had a great time on the TMB with Salamander Adventures. Our guide Neil did an excellent job and was knowledgeable, good-natured and professional. We felt prepared and safe throughout the trek. We also enjoyed the accommodations booked by Salamander. Obviously the auberges left something to be desired, however we understand that due to the small towns we stayed in on two nights that was necessary. The food was excellent throughout. My one complaint is that I think Salamander should charge a bit more for the trip and have luggage delivered every night. It was a bit of a pain to have to carry 3 days worth of hiking supplies when there were two night increments of no luggage. Everyone on our trip would have preferred to pay more to have luggage each night.

The hike was really good (good pace/distance covered per day) and we were fortunate enough to have good weather most days. Our Guide was Neil and he was very helpful and informative throughout. However, there was one night when we did not have any service or wifi. It would be nice to provide us with a warning prior to that as some of our relatives got worried and i’ve got an important email I had to reply that day.

Truly enjoyed our tour, Ollie was the perfect tour guide. I appreciated that he was patient with everyone, and made sure that we could all complete our daily journey together. The lunches and meals suited each person and I enjoyed trying the various cuisines in each location. The varied accommodations were also enjoyable and fun experiences. From luxurious to basic but all part of the experience. Ollie was always very helpful and knowledgeable about the fauna and flora. I found it helpful not to have to worry about directions and good locations to stop at to experience the local flavours. Also the group of travellers we were with were engaged and everyone was patient with each leg of the journey.

I found the Tour well above expectations. From the terrain, to the wildlife and the accommodations, they were all great. My pet peeve: not particularly interested in the way we made lunches in the field. Much rather have pre-made lunches. Ollie was a great guide, easy to talk to and handled all issues that arose with care and professionalism.

A great walk on the Amalfi Peninsular. Despite some unusual weather the walk was very well led by Peter who was able to provide excellent guidance with a group of 12 people with a mix of skills. Having done the Tour Mont Blanc, The Dolomite and Amalfi Hikes with Salamander we are looking forward to our next adventure with them.

We had a fabulous time on our adventure. Pete was a great guide and was very thoughtful, knowledgeable, helpful, and made the trip fun and interesting. It was a challenging hike at times and I would recommend regular hiking boots, not day hikers! I would highly recommend this hike and company for this Amalfi adventure!

Even though the weather was unusually poor for Amalfi, the trip was still very enjoyable. The route was interesting, rugged at times and probably slightly harder than expected (which was good). The scenery was stunning at all times along the peninsula and accommodation was of a good standard for a trekking holiday. Pete, our guide, was great company and clearly very experienced. I would certainly recommend this trip.

I recently completed the Pyrenees Trek with Salamander Adventures. This is a challenging hike and so rewarding. The views were beautiful, we spotted local wildlife and watched as paragliders expertly glided through the air. Peter, our guide, was excellent and made sure everything ran smoothly each day and we were prepared for the next day's adventure. This was my fourth trek with Salamander Adventures. They are very organized and responsive. Well done Salamander!

We did a self guided route, but salamander booked all our hotels and they were all good and well organised. The Dolomites traverse route itself was excellent and its variety of landscapes and attempts to avoid the worst of the crowds.

Amazing adventure. Very good decision of Salamander’s to go clockwise rather than the traditional way. Don’t see the same people twice and the hardest 2 stages are at the end and so time to acquire your mountain legs. We did a Self guided trip with good quality accommodation and food. Recommend them.

I completed TMB using Salamander guided tour. It was the best decision. The trip was well organized and the accommodations were better than expected (no refuggios or dorms). We are hikers who usually get lost so having a guide made it so much easier. Each evening our guide had a chat with us, outlining what to expect for the next day including terrain and distances which was so helpful. We had a great group of hikers and had such a memorable time with them. I'd like to thank your guide, Neil for eloquently answering all of our questions.
