The guide and camping activities were out of this world. The hotel we started in was terrible. But, the rest of the trip more than made up for it. I would highly recommend this trip. Just start at another hotel!

I recently returned from Mt
I recently returned from Mt. Sobek's Alps Village to Village Hiking trip. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Our guide Laurent was fun and extremely knowledgeable. The places we stayed in lovely places and enjoyed delicious food throughout. The scenery was amazing and the hiking was wonderful. I loved the trip and recommend it without reservation.

We have taken three Family Adventure trips with our family with Mountain Travel Sobek.

great life travel experiences
We have had great life travel experiences with MTS on quite a few trips and have met many nice people along the way. Not always perfect but who is when it comes to complicated travel overseas and dealing with numerous clients with different levels of experience. We love the company because with all of the planning we don't have to worry or stress out about anything. If something should go wrong we know that MTS will try their best to make it right.

Everything was perfect on every trip I did with Mountain travel SOBEK

Wow Bob - thanks so much for the glowing review. We look forward to seeing you on a future trip soon.
Istria to Veneto: A Culinary Route
This was a great trip! I've traveled a lot but not done many group tours, this worked really well. Small group and fantastic guides: Domen Bancic and Miha Klanjscek. The itinerary was just what I was looking for, and the guides often added some more stops when possible, based on people's interests. The hotels were all wonderful, and we had great food, often simpler and more regional for lunch, more sophisticated at dinner.
Highly recommended!--Judith Sutton
