We started with Ryder Walker in 2009 and have now been on five guided and one self-guided trip. We’ve greatly enjoyed each of those trips and love Ryder Walker attitude and style so we really didn’t consider another company.- Jeff P.: Private Guided Rob Roy Way

I loved the casual guiding style of our guides. I loved the organization of the trip. The accommodations were appropriate, the hotel meals were excellent. The length of each days hiking was challenging yet everyone finished with plenty of time to relax before dinner.- Alicia Guerra: Private Tour du Mont Blanc

This was truly one of the best trips I have been on. The variety, scenery, and friendliness of the guides and locals made this trip one of a kind. The trek did not seem technical, but Staffan was always attentive, and helpful in areas that were a bit tricky. - Mary Stelling: Morocco Atlas Mountains Trek
