Second trek with this operator and they've kept the standard up. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones. No hesitation recommending them.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought. Good value for what's included.

Estonia in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought. Good value for what's included.
