Choose a Challenge Reviews 232

If you are looking to do the 3 peak challenge I can fully vouch that you need not look know further than choose a challenge. We meet Chris in Glasgow and was made very welcome from the offset. Chris was our host on the transport to get us from A to B safely and on time, with Richard then Paul driving us with great patience even when we were loud. We would meet each guide to take us up the mountain. Each different guide on each mountain was absolutely superb. Very knowledgeable and caring for the group, and all 3 guides were more than a pleasure to walk with. We had a fantastic group and made memories for life and this was down to the great experience that choose a challenge created. Make sure you prepare properly for this trip. Many thanks to Chris, Richard, Paul. Then to the guides Ricky, Kev and Robert, thank you for keeping us so safe and allowing us to express ourselves. Hope you had a laugh with our amazing group! We will be back👊🏼💪🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Chris was our team leader for the 3 peaks challenge, he sorted everything out and got us everything we needed, good bloke… had the crack with him the whole time… good bloke! We had a great team and just smashed the whole challenge… had 3 different guides for 3 different peaks… Ricky on Ben Nevis and as a top bloke, knew Ben Nevis well and kept us all going as a team…Kev on Skafell Pike was a legend, kept us safe on the dark rocky decent and Robert on Snowdon also a brilliant guide took us up and great trail and brought us back down on a different one so we could see all sides of Snowdon… all in all it was an incredible experience and I would highly recommend booking your challenge with these guys!

Our Salkantay Trek to macchu Picchu was amazing. The guides Reuben, Mihail and Jose Luiz were fantastic. Always there to help motivate you and bring smiles and laughter to the long trek.
Felt 100% safe, lots of historical chats and never felt rushed to complete the trek. The guides all have loads of experience and are helpful at guiding you through the

I was part of the Machu Picchu trek this year, and my experience was just incredible! The guides were simply fenomenal and it would not have been the same without them!

Guides were top tier and very informative #Peruben

Had an amazing trip to Machu Picchu. Everything was so well organised and it was great fun. The guides were incredible and I would use Choose a Challenge again!

Great local guides with expert skill and knowledge.

I held off writing a review last year because of communication from others in the group who were persistent about asking for good reviews, but I wanted to leave an honest review now because I feel incredibly guilty about using this company. I signed up for the peaks of the Balkans trip for Marie curie and frankly I have no clue how much money went to the charity itself, but I truly wish I had scrutinised this more before I signed up. CAC are money grabbing and disorganised, and our representative Rhiannon was unprofessional, incompetent and disorganised, and incredibly rude to locals and our excellent guide (Mend was a gem!! He doesn’t deserve 1 star!!). Frankly she was there to make TikToks for her own personal account. There was little support for when members of our team got ill and there were far far more things to pay for once we were then than expected, which was surprising since the trip was so overpriced. Avoid using CAC and raise money for charity before going on holiday- you’ll save money and give more to an actual charity, not giving a free holiday to inept employees like Rhiannon.
They outsource everything to other travel companies so go direct rather than let them mark everything up!

Absolutely it was excellent services.
Thanks to this company no Hassle .
They are were very wonderful.
I can highly recommend .

7 days trekking Kilimanjaro.
Thank you to Choose a Challenge for this unforgettable experience. The guides, porters and everyone involved were always so positive and always looked out for us. It was so much fun and I am so thankful for such a great team!

Absolute amazing experience. Choose a challenge came with laughs and determination with everyone I completed the challenge with. The amazing guides on each of the mountains certainly knew these mountains like the back of their hand and I couldn’t appreciate them more. Choose a challenge was amazing from start to finish and Mike organised it amazingly with a lovely surprise at the end - I won’t say what - that’s for you to find out :) P.s who could forget the lovely bus drivers Rob and George for driving us from place to place really an overall experience I will treasure.

Just embarked upon the three peaks challenge with choose a challenge’s very own Mike.
Thrilling experience, great bunch of people, Mike really culminated a strong sense of teamwork and fellowship within.
I would really recommend the experience as a whole- climbing the mountains was really fulfilling and the whole experience was seamless, efficient and exciting as a participant and challenge leader.

Mike, the challenge organiser, was a friendly, welcoming member who assisted everyone and made them feel comfortable within the group. The challenge was organised efficiently and effectively, resulting in me to benefit from the exhilarating event to its greatest potential. The drivers between peaks were accessible and convenient ensuring that the travel between locations was easy and enjoyable. Thank you Choose a Challenge for making my three peaks experience of course, challenging, yet anmazing and a once in a lifetime opportunity!

Quality time, Mike was great, kindly let me borrow his coat for the 3 hikes after I forgot my own. The mountains were great with plenty of stops for food and water. Drivers were also great !

A once in a lifetime experience which the company made really special. The guides were so supportive and the accommodation provided was great. Met loads of cool people and couldn't have done it without CAC!

Completed the Three Peaks with Mike, absolutely fantastic experience. Quality food provided and breaks given when needed. Initial hostel was lovely and coach was comfy as well. Will be doing another challenge next year!

Such an incredible experience that I never would have done before if it wasn't so well set up and accessible at University.
The whole thing was really well organised from the very start to the very end.
The actual trek was amazing, the guides did everything they could do for everyone to get the chance to get to the top despite it being so challenging. The local guides help us loads and spoke good English. Everything was set up as soon as we reached camp with all meals cooked for us (it is amazing what they can cook somewhere so remote). The views are amazing and I am so glad I did it all! Most people seemed really happy with it all - Thank you so much for this experience.

Thank you so much.

The Guides Being One of the Best Parts of Morocco Atlas Trip June 2024

This whole trip from the moment it started to the moment it ended was planned perfectly, with everyone's comfort in mind. Before the trip we were all told the level of fitness and the equipment we will need to be able to fully enjoy the trip.

One of the best parts of the trip has to be the guides in Morocco, they were very useful and selfless to any one of the trekkers who had a problem, providing snacks, water, and carrying bags when people were struggling. But their best feature was their ability to boost morale on our University trip. We were met by Omar (the main guide), who was an absolutely lovely person who was always so fun and interesting to talk to during the trek, because of his most advanced knowledge in English (and Spanish too), it was easy to talk to him and learn of the traditions and lifestyle of the Berber communities. We were also met by Ibrahim, and Sa'id and other wonderful guides who were always the 'life of the party' when we were at camp, ranging from chanting songs and getting us to dance, telling us jokes and teaching us both arabic and berber words. Our group would do Yoga every night, and the guides, despite never doing it before, would join us to try it out. They would always boost morale during the treks, by making jokes or starting conversations.

What I'm trying to say is that the trip itself is a 10/10 in terms of views, the trek itself and the accommodations. But with the guides provided it made it an 11/10, they made the trip just that little bit better, to the point I wanted to make a whole review based on them alone :)

A group of 27 of us were taken through the Atlas Mountains with a group of incredible guides, all locals with great English who really made an effort to make sure we all felt accommodated for. Every night we sang songs together with the guides and danced despite our exhaustion after long days of trekking, everyone was always happy. On the last day some of the group experienced altitude sickness and Omar, one of the guides, stayed behind from the trek to make sure they were taken care of. When I was tired and left dinner, Omar came to my tent to check I was okay, offering potential support for the following day. We all could not have felt more safe, optimistic and fulfilled after this experience! It was an amazing group of locals brought together in by this organisation
