Everest Base Camp, 2024

Matthew Stutz - Brisbane, Australia
The Climbing Mountains Everest Base Camp was an experience I'll never forget! We were fortunate to see Mt Everest several times throughout the trip, and a highlight was hiking through snow to see the Tenzing Norgay museum, statue and view Mt Everest for the first time! Every day was different; the culture and journey were amazing. I highly recommend completing this journey with Climbing Mountains, the guides were brilliant and doing it as part of a group made it fun and we encouraged each other well and all made it to Base Camp!

I had a very good experience with the tour. The itinerary was perfect got to experience all of the things from mountains to rainforest was absolutely perfect. I had the best time in the dolomites on the Alta Via 1 with Chris as my guide. He was very accommodating to all my needs and looked after me well. Would highly recommend Chris as a guide!!

Gene M - Queensland, Australia
This was a once in a lifetime experience! Chris' expertise across all aspects of cultural, food and wine and historical highlights, paired with his logistical, guiding and safety knowledge ensured that we got to see and experience the best that the Camino has to offer. His significant experience in knowing the Camino de Santiago so well, coupled with Spanish Celebrity Chef Javier Codina of Moda Restaurant, whose passion and love of food, family and shared experiences, made this tour simply amazing for our whole group. Across the first week, we travelled by luxury small mini-bus and got to experience multiple Michelin Star restaurants - a number of which opened just for our group, as well as the amazing local food and wine in more traditional restaurants and cafes. This was coupled with seeing and exploring some of the key Camino towns and cities, ensuring we got to see all the best and most impactful parts of what the first 600km or so of the Camino Frances experience has to offer. In the second week we started our Camino pilgrimage, commencing the 114km walk from Sarria arriving in Santiago de Compostela in the morning as the sun came up. Thanks to Chris' expert guiding experience, we were very well prepared in navigating, walking and looking after our feet (!!) and ensuring that we enjoyed the experience along The Way. Safety and wellbeing were a number one priority and we couldn't have asked for a better person to look after us all - particularly since our group ranged in age from 53 to 84. Chris sourced was the best accommodation available along the Camino route (4-5 star) making the end of a long day of walking very relaxing. The two luxury mini-buses also operated as support vehicles, allowing a lot of flexibility for those in the group that did not wish or weren't able to walk the whole distance day-to-day. A huge thank you to Chris, Javier and Marco for this incredible Camino Frances experience!! it will be one we will all remember as a one in a lifetime bucket list adventure!

This tour with the Climbing Mountains is a wonderful way to experience the Camino. The food and accommodation, especially in the first 7 days, is exceptional. Javier, our guest chef from Moda in Brisbane, organized some amazing meals for us. Being Spanish, his language skills made some of the sticky situations a complete breeze. Thanks to Chris and Javier for a wonderful trip!

Chris Moyle of Climbing Mountains led a luxury Camino de Santiago trip, which was so well organized. My wife Mary and I had an unforgettable experience. The Michelin Star restaurants, the Camino traditions, the Spanish culture and historical churches and cathedrals were all so memorable. We highly recommend it.

Chris curated an extraordinary experience for our group from Queensland Ballet. Our aim was to bring like-minds together to enjoy an adventure unlike any other and thanks to Chris, Javier and the Climbing Mountains ethos, we were not disappointed! The Camino is deeply personal but also all about a greater connection beyond ourselves. Chris and Javier thought of everything, not only with safety at heart but also with consideration of each person's needs and hopes. From the restaurants (a mix of Michelin and local champions) and the cultural highlights to the walking tips and the relaxed lunches waiting for us, Chris and Javier left no stone unturned. We started our journey as individuals and ended as a bonded family, walking into Santiago de Compostela as one, having shared extraordinary cuisine, culture, challenge, celebration and camaraderie. Queensland Ballet's Camino family will always share a special connection thanks to this unforgettable adventure together. Thank you Climbing Mountains - Adventures!

Sue Hoopmann - Sydney, Australia
With memories of our April Camino adventure still clearly in my mind, I would like to pass on congratulations to the organizers on an extremely successful experience in every way. All that was promised materialized in full. This was a truly Luxury tour with vehicles ready, if necessary, top-class food throughout from Javier our resident Chef of renown, accommodation fit for a King (and I am fussy) and clever organization by Climbing Mountains by giving a small amount of information at a time rather than overwhelming us with the whole itinerary. A little surprise each day placates many issues and promotes positive thinking. It also promotes the blending of many personalities to provide a true pilgrimage for all of us. At 84 years of age and in wonder that I could achieve this goal, my feelings are so excitingly fulfilled that it makes me feel that I would like to do it all again. (just in weather that's a bit warmer please!).

What a great trip. This is an excellent way to experience this part of Spain and experience the Camino. The contrast between the wonderful food and restaurants at the beginning and then the Pilgrim experience only served to emphasize the enjoyment of both sides of this trip. All in all, this was a great experience.

Shauna Schulz, Brisbane, Australia
Climbing Mountains provided a lifelong bank of memories with the tour we did with QB. A brilliant addition was the Chef who really made the food and wine experience enriched with amazing restaurants and food and fine dining, along with enlightening stories through our Spanish food experiences. As our organizer Chris provided great guidance and support and balanced the needs of individuals and the group well to make sure everyone had the chance to experience the Pilgrims Journey for our walk along the Camino. The luxury camino experience was the best choice for us, for a mix of luxury and challenge. The small group was great to experience the Camino, the history of Spain and be challenged and celebrate our completion of the Camino. A well organized, fun, right size challenge and wonderful way to do the Camino and meet great new friends. Loved having the celebrity participant and wife join us which added another layer of opportunity, joy and sharing while we all experienced the wonders of Spain along the Camino Way.

We were very happy members of the inaugural QB LUXE VIP ~ Camino (Frances) - *COACH*TREK* with Climbing Mountains. Chris and Javier provided us with a fantastic experience. The dining experience in first part of the trip was fantastic; Hotels were selected in the best locations. Michelin star restaurants were truly memorable. Nothing was too difficult for these guys. The passion for the after-dinner speeches by Chef Javier will stay with us forever. All members of our group were so well supported in the trekking stage of the trip, and we were so happy to have completed the trek successfully. Anyone undertaking this experience in the future can expect to have a lifetime trip.
Western Arthurs Traverse, Tasmania 2025
Western Arthurs Traverse, Tasmania 2025
Lisa Gilbert - Melbourne, Australia
I’m an experienced hiker, but I wanted the expert guidance of Climbing Mountains for my Western Arthurs Traverse (Tasmania) adventure. Well before the trip, Chris, Mat and the team ensured I was well prepared and set very realistic expectations. On the trip itself, my guide Mat was an absolute professional. He kept us safe and altered our plans to account for some epic bad weather. The Traverse is not for the faint of heart; it’s one of the hardest hikes in Australia - but with Climbing Mountains I felt completely safe. Mat’s guidance and knowledge of the range, as well as his wealth of expertise and information, was exceptional. Climbing Mountains offers epic adventure at reasonable prices, and I will 1000% be planning my next adventure with them.

Camille Sparks - Texas, USA
Traveling overseas can be stressful. Luckily, we had Chris and Marco take care of us the entire way. That included meetings before the trip to make sure we understood what to expect. Chris sent us a training schedule that we followed pretty closely to get ready. Once we started the Camino Frances through the end, we never worried about availability for hotels or good restaurants--they had it covered. We got to see some of the most beautiful countryside and the important Pelegrino art along the way. I couldn't be more satisfied with the journey. I would highly recommend Climbing Mountains to anyone without hesitation.

Bob Pickens - Texas, USA
The Camino de Santiago is an amazing physical, mental, and spiritual experience. It is the trip of a lifetime. Camino changes every day. You’ll find different scenery, different communities, and different challenges each day. You’ll also discover a difference in yourself as you travel to the Camino. From my experience, the best way to travel to the Camino de Santiago is with a professional guide on a fully supported tour. Don’t rely on an app to guide you and don’t think you can plan the route yourself—this endeavor will change you, and you’ll need some flexibility and guidance from day to day. Only a professional guide with full support can help you maximize this experience. Chris and Marco from the Climbing Mountains fit our journey to our needs. Because of their experience, we saw sites and had amazing experiences that would not have been possible on our own or with a less supported alternative. Chris and Marco worked tirelessly to accommodate us along the way. They unlocked the meaning behind the Camino de Santiago and became part of our Camino.
Everest Base Camp, Nepal 2025
Everest Base Camp, Nepal 2025
Mike Li - Sydney, Australia
It was an amazing trek to Everest Base Camp with very helpful guides and a great group. Starting with the onboarding calls we were given a lot of instructions on managing the altitude so that we were well prepared and safe throughout the hike. We were also taken shopping in Kathmandu to pick up any gear we needed cheaply. The landscape changed day by day as we went up, from forests, to shrubs, to grasslands and eventually to just rocks from the glacier. The villages also changed as we went up, but we had good options for accommodation all the way there and back. The weather was clear and each day we could see the mountains all around, including many views of Everest. The guides and porters were all very friendly and helpful. When there were things outside of their control, such as bad either delaying cancelling all the flights into Lukla on the first day, they worked hard to provide us with plenty of options and explained all the alternatives to us so that we could decide the way forward. Overall, that contributed to the great luck we had and the great experience of the trip.

Edward Mitchell - Brisbane, Australia
Climbing mountains was fantasies at looking after everyone alone the way and protecting the whole group guiding us through the challenges of high-altitude trekking. It was an amazing experience that will be with me for the rest of my life. What made the journey even better was having a beanie to keep my head warm the whole trip.

Tanja Jovanovski - Victoria, Australia
I had the absolute best time trekking with Chris and the Climbing Mountains team. Attempting the trek to Base Camp Everest was something that I always thought was incredible. The Climbing Mountains team made the trek so seamless with their wealth of knowledge. Their multiple onboarding calls were fantastic in giving us the information we needed prior to departing for the adventure. From information about what to bring and what to buy in Nepal saved us all so much money but it was also a great way to give business to the community we were visiting. The team's attention to detail made us all feel very safe during the long trek. From education regarding medications, ergonomics when ascending/descending stairs, and continuous monitoring of our oxygen levels, our safety was very clearly a priority for the team. The Climbing Mountains guides were not only safe oriented but also so approachable and full of good humour, making the trek even more enjoyable and memorable. I will be HIGHLY recommending Climbing Mountains to anyone looking into any adventures and looking forward to rebooking with them in the future!

Kellie G - Hobart, Australia
The St. Patricks Tour in Tasmania in March of 2023 was nothing less than incredible.! Chris has so much knowledge of the areas visited & great riding skills to lead those like myself who aren’t proficient in cycling. He is always about safety first which put me at ease & at the stops along the way there was sufficient time to explore &/or relax.! Tasmania was so beautiful at that time of year & to explore so much of it was such a great, fun experience.! I highly recommend Chris to be your guide as his intel of Tassie is GOLD.! He knows all the best spots.! Thank you Chris for an amazing adventure & for being such an excellent guide.! I shall return for more adventures in the near future.!

Everest Base Camp, Nepal 2024
Gene M - Queensland, Australia
Chris and the Climbing Mountains team made trekking to Everest Base Camp an amazing experience!! They were exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced in both trekking and the local area - looking after our safety and wellbeing to ensure all 10 of us made it up to 5364m and back. We also got to see and experience the most incredible Nepalese traditions, history, and food along the trek, with the team organising all of these things for us. Their care and concern for not just our safety re: trekking to high altitudes, but that we had a great time along the way made the long endurance days and cold nights all worth it! We took the helicopter ride back from Kala Patthar to Kathmandu - taking in the breathtaking mountains and seeing from the air the long track and many towns we had trekked through - the perfect way to end a trip of a lifetime!
