"Otztal Ski Tour"

This is my third adventure with AB. As always the calibre of the guide is what makes the trip. Nacho was super experienced and safe as a ski tour lead. AB support and customer care is great. Folks like Beth, Tristan and Tansi work hard in the background. Will choose AB again.

"Completed the Haute Route with AB last…"

Completed the Haute Route with AB last week. Great service before the trip, flawless Logistics throughout and a really, really great guide all contributed to making this the trip of a lifetime.

"Exceptional experience"

Completed the iconic haute route, full traverse from Chamonix to zermatt. Great support from the AB team and guide both before and during the expedition to achieve the aim around the weather.

"Great trip"

Great trip, excellent guide who responded well to the ability of the group, well organised

"Toubkal winter ascent"

Good communication from adventure base from the point of booking to arriving back home
Kit list and levels of training/fitness were in depth and informative
The transport in Morocco was punctual, the accommodation was comfortable and the hosts were friendly, helpful and welcoming
Our trek guide was very knowledgeable and made the ascent a more enjoyable experience
We were well fed and the food was tasty.
The equipment we rented was in good order and at no point did we feel the service was lacking.
Overall a great trek

"I had a fantastic experience with…"

I had a fantastic experience with Adventure Base. The team was incredibly professional, from the guides to the on-ground staff, who made everything run smoothly. Despite some changes to plans due to weather, they came up with excellent alternatives that added a unique and memorable element to the trip. The accommodation was comfortable, and their warm welcome and great communication made a real difference. Whether you’re after a guided experience or something custom-built, they clearly know how to deliver. Highly recommend Adventure Base for your next mountain adventure – I’m already thinking about my next trip! Four stars only because there’s always room for that little bit extra.

"Absolutely brilliant!!!!!"

We booked a trip to mt Toubkal in October with my wife through adventure base, from start to finish the hole experience was sweet as!! The hole team took the time from the get go, to answer all our questions before booking the trip, thanks Charlie (great guy), then Beth took over and booked everything for us, the clarity of communication was awesome and made everything easy for us!! Last but not least our guide Hamid, insane knowledge of the mountains and really did his best to make us feel confortable and explained to us the marocain way, very very welcoming and not shy to answer any questions you may have!!! The full experience was brilliant I would greatly recommend adventure base, we already booked a trip in Italy for 2025 🚀🚀🚀

"Mixed feelings on Adventure Base"

Just come back from a trip to Mera Peak, Nepal, which is no longer on their website (so I guess discontinued).

Good points:
1) They got us up the mountain (and down again).
2) Gave me an NHS Blue Light discount.
3) We got to Lukla Airport and the planes were flying, yet our guide put us on a helicopter instead (despite us having plane tickets and querying this). We were given a hefty bill. However, Adventure Base very kindly agreed to take the hit on this and pay our helicopter flights, and said that we should not have been put in that position.

Not so good:
1) Expensive Company: I’ve traveled a lot and these charge a lot more than others for similar. About £1,500 more.
2) We came into problems whilst away and needed to talk to Adventure Base. One of them eventually got in touch but then disappeared. We ended up meeting with local guides on our holiday to sort things out ourselves. Adventure Base should have been much more on hand to help, and this left our group quite stressed.
3) I felt we were mis-sold some things: the high price we paid was said to include tips for porters, however, were told by local Adventure Base guide to tip again. Also, their brochure said that the flights were from Kathmandu (where we were staying), not from another airport a night’s drive away. I don’t think this was deliberate, and I get that things can change’ but nothing was communicated.
4) Much slower than other companies with email and WhatsApp communication.

Once we got back, we reached an agreement/compromise and I am glad we have reached an amicable close.

Summary:
An average travel company that can book things for you, and it’s all OK unless something goes wrong.
Probably not geared up for travel too far from where they are based, but I’ve heard good things about their more local trips (e.g. Mont Blanc). However, based on my experience, it is unlikely that I would use them again.

"Mont Blanc and Alps Experience "

Absolutely fantastic experience with these guys, whilst we could not summit Mont Blanc due to poor conditions, additional exciting activities were provided, from the guides to the chalet staff, friendly, welcoming and fun, I would thoroughly recommend.

"Best custom Trek of the TMB"

We are in our late 60s. Adventure base custom built a TMB trek so we could do 6 to 8 miles per day over 14 days. Resting on days 5-6 in Courmayeur. Private rooms now and then to off set the bunk beds and barracks. Even in two hotels the dinner and breakfast were already paid just like the Refuges. The self-guided trek allowed us to do a test day when we arrived (Montenvers balcony) just to get ourselves acclimated and our climbing gear tested out. It was such a joy to meet other people on the way and to have the freedom to call our days and pace the way we wanted. The staff were present to provide assistance upon arrival, and during the trek by message to let a refuge know if we’d be late. The integration of Strava off line 3Dmap allowed us to see where we were even in the weeds. We highly recommend this company for the self-guided TMB. We look forward to using them again. Next, on to explore the Dolomites.
