Everywhere we went varied so much and was stunning to be amongst. A great cross-section of the terrain. Loved hearing and learning about the history of the area and places we visited.”

“ Wonderful group! ”
Elena O. – 21 October 18

Agnes P – 7 October 18

Ingela – 7 October 18

“It will be great to have another amazing hike on the third day !”

“Fantastic trip!”
Carys – 2 July 18

“ superbly organised trips to amazing places ”
Agnes – 27 June 18

“Great trip. Really lovely group of people. Good guides/instructors. Was a little surprised and concerned when on the water – would have expected the 3 guides to be at the front, middle, and rear of the group (1 in each position) as at times the group was spread out, but it worked well? Liked the relaxed and friendly approach by Ali, Stuart, and Iona”
Matthew C – ” 4 June 18

“I thought the whole trip was exceedingly well organised and Mike and the Rockhopper guides were outstanding and great fun to be with. My best tip for anyone coming on this trip in the future is to get a good brimmed hat (much like Peggy’s) which is great for protecting against the sun and works very well when used with a midge head net.”
Jamie – 4 June 18

“Great trip, thanks!”
Stas – 3 June 18

“Trip of a lifetime for a novice camper and kayaker! Kayaking really fun and great local guides. Spectacular camping locations. Joining instructions and kit advice really helpful. Thanks for going the extra mile to make sure we had an amazing time, Mike :-)”
Anna S  30 May 18

“Fantastic hikes, especially 2nd day (Stob Dubh). Usual great AAA hospitality, with the exception of lunch”
Anna S – 29 May 18

“Absolutely lovely 3 days, very well organized!”
Klaudia – 29 May 18

“It was a wonderful weekend. It’s obvious that AAA prides themselves in providing the best experience.”
Dom – 28 May 18

“ Hiking in Mala Fatra, Slovakia – One of the really beautiful walking trips I have been to and what better than being organised and led by Martin – a local who know his country so well! 4 days of awesome walks through the different terrains, gorges, ridge walks with a visit to the Spa which was the icing on the cake. Our accommodation was in the valley which offered scenic views, the staff very welcoming and pleasant. Martin ensured that we had a great time in spite of the weather… he also offered and planned an additional walk and a visit to the watchtower without any of us even asking for it – it wasn’t a part of the itinerary. Found Martin to genuinely like what he does…he did go an extra mile to ensure we had a good time. Would recommend this trip! As for me, would love to do the Slovakian Tatras when I get a chance next! ”
Alpa G – 26 May 18

“Best hiking group, good customer care ethos, well planned and organized and keeping the mood up – Thank you!”
Elena – 22 May 18

“I was impressed with the professionalism and unflappability of both Mike and Misha during the Ben Nevis dramas and their ability to ensure all guests were looked after.”
Sue – 20 May 18

“It’d be great if, for each walk, including the energetic ones, it was possible to cater also for the slower people and get them to the top at their own pace (like it was done for the Ben Nevis).”
Fathia – 17 May 18

“Scrap the castle visit and only stop for a short break to take pictures, so to have more time to spend on Skye and see a bit more of it. Out of 6 evenings a couple more dinners in would have been good (pub of the accommodation and pub near the castle were not as excellent as the other two places)”
Cliff – 16 May 18

“ This is a return to the same trip from a year ago. It was great then and it still is. See you next year ! ”
Natalie C- 16 May 18

“Hike leaders were (as always) well prepared and competent. Great group of people Who I continuously recommend to friends! Accommodation ratings are because we get what is on the Tin so to speak… ie get what is expected for the price and per the description”
Caroline J – 2 May 18

“It was my first-ever hiking weekend and second-ever mountain climb and I really enjoyed it. I found it a little hard to work out which hike was best for me but I think maybe that happens your first time when you’re getting used to everything. I’d definitely book a trip with AAA again based on this experience. Thanks, guys!”
Lisa E – 2 April 18

“I felt so welcomed, looked after etc. in terms of travelling, accommodation and whilst we were hiking. I loved the comradeship helping in the kitchen etc. Just being part of a team really. Thank you”
Sue N – 29 March 18

“ Having done my first trip. An amazing group in every way.
“Organizers are very chilled and welcoming and that makes them stand out from other groups”
Mary- 28 March 18

“ Just wanted to say how fantastic the twilight kayaking was last Saturday. The guides were excellent especially as I had a meltdown half-way through with the “waves”. Felt really safe as I was completely out of my comfort zone. Thank you. ”

“ I have just come back from yet another amazing trip organised by Misha, this time to Russia. It was the first trip to this location and once again Misha excelled with great organisation, effort and care to make this an unforgettable experience for the group. I had such a fantastic time, we learned about Moscow and Sochi, went hiking in the stunning Caucasus, even did a barbecue with the locals. I have been to many trips with AAA in the last four years and I returned with great memories from all of them. The whole team have patience like saints. I highly recommend this hiking group – best meet up hiking group you can find in the UK! ”
Andrea 🙂 – 27 July 17

Caroline – 12 July 17

“ I went on the trip to Slovakia in June – it was an amazing experience! The hikes were really well organised, Mike and Misha put a lot of effort in to make sure everyone’s needs were accommodated and everyone in the group was really friendly! Hope to sign up for another trip abroad next year! ”
Helen – 7 July 17

“ What a brilliant holiday. It far exceeded my expectations in all aspects. Very well organised, spectacular scenery, lovely people, comfortable hotel, optional yoga morning and evening to help tired muscles and even wall to wall sunshine. It really couldn’t have been better. I’m definitely going on another AAA trip. ”
Gillian Proctor – 2 July 17

“ I’ve just come back from Poland trip to the Tatras mountains. Thanks, Mike & Misha for such a great experience. For introducing me to a place in Poland I never would have known about, putting me outside of my comfort zones (my choice!) & being there all the way to ensure you’re comfortable and safe. Really enjoyed the whole trip, even the little bits like the gentle intro to caving. Never done that before. Special thanks to yoga teacher Claudia who I found so lovely, encouraging & helpful for the ‘not to bendy yoga bunnies’ (that would be me! 🤣). It was a lovely way to finish & start the day with a good stretch I wouldn’t do myself. I came back and immediately want to book another! Xx ”
Helen Griffin – 2 July 17

“ Poland was brilliant and I had such a fun time! If you’re into hiking, exploring and lots of laughter I totally recommend AAA trips ”
Imogen – 2 July 17

“ I’ve just returned from another brilliant trip with AAA, this time to Poland. It was my first overseas trip with AAA and as expected, was well organised, the hikes were incredible and company great. We had four days of well-led hikes with a variety of stunning scenery and challenge (self-selected). We were well fed at well-chosen restaurants and enjoyed the local cuisine, had brilliant accommodation (the spa and sauna is a great way to end the day after 7hrs of hiking) and yoga led by the Claudia who catered for the experienced yogis and for novices like me. I always meet friendly new faces on these trips who love being outside, now to book the next one… ”
Katherine – 2 July 17

“ Had an awesome time in Poland. Fantastic trip from start to finish (very well organised) with an amazing bunch of people. Brilliant yoga sessions thanks to Claudia. Made lots of memories, will be looking to go on another AAA trip soon! ”

“ Reuben is an excellent guide and walk leader. His enthusiasm and knowledge of the area, fauna and flora are outstanding.

Looking to the future for some new walks with Reuben. Well done! ”

Amazing food, great hikes, expert leaders, awesome company – can’t recommend it enough. And the choice of different hikes to suit every taste and levels of fitness makes it something that really anybody can do. ”
Giovanna – 29 March 16

“ What an awesome company! Everything was so well organised! Mischa and Mike run a slick and professional operation with maximum fun guaranteed. The hiking was fantastic and every meal was absolutely scrumptious! I thoroughly enjoyed this weekend and would recommend AAA to anyone thinking of getting into hiking (like me) to more serious hikers. The groups are split for all levels and as a beginner, I was well looked after. Team Mischa can’t do enough to make sure you have an amazing trip! Huge thanks to everyone from the kitchen staff to Mike and Timbo! Thanks for a wonderful weekend! See you soon! ”

Each and every day was well planned and thought out with different options for the different abilities. Great location and fabulous bunch of people – all with a great attitude to sign up to some crazy ideas – you know what I mean ;). Cannot wait for more trips with AAA. And definitely will return to Slovenia.

“ Great organisation, I loved the hikes! ”
Bert – 30 May 15

“ Recommendations to join this group and why it has such a strong reputation (and difficult to squeeze yourself in fast enough before it is too full!) was evident from the start. Misha goes above and beyond what many people do to adapt things as they develop and works very, very hard to make people happy and satisfy different needs – which is damn hard in a group with so many people each with so many different needs! But he is very good at it! And the other hike leaders – Ciaran, Mike and Steve were great. Thanks to all of them. Beautiful location choices too. (Ciaran – forgive me for starting a sentence with a But and another one with an And). ”
Juliet V – 25 May 15

“ Brilliant ”
