EXCELLENT Based on 129 reviews Sara T2025-03-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I could give this hike more than five stars, I would! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and the whole experience was amazing. ⛰️ Faisi and Diana were incredible guides—knowledgeable, supportive, and just a pleasure to be around. They kept the energy high 🔥, the pace just right 🏃♀️, and always knew when we needed a break or some motivation 💪. I’ll definitely do it again! migsutube2025-03-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. AFT Deliveres an Unforgettable Hiking Adventure! I recently had the pleasure of joining AFT for their hikes, and it exceeded all my expectations. From their booking process, the communication was clear and professional. The pre-hike information provided was comprehensive, ensuring I was well-prepared for the day. The hikes were absolutely stunning. The trails offered a perfect balance of challenge and beauty, with panoramic mountain views, tiny waterfalls, unique rock formations. Our guides, Faisi, Diana, Katja, Bilal, were exceptional. They were incredibly knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna, sharing fascinating insights along the way. More importantly, their enthusiasm and encouragement made the challenging sections feel manageable and enjoyable. They prioritized safety without compromising the fun. What truly set AFT apart was their attention to detail. The logistics were seamless, and the small group size allowed for a personalized experience. The provided snacks and water were a thoughtful touch. I felt well-cared for and truly immersed in the natural beauty of the area. Thie hikes were more than just a physical activity; it was a memorable experience that left me feeling refreshed and inspired. I highly recommend AFT to anyone seeking a well-organized, enriching, and truly unforgettable hiking adventure. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or a beginner, AFT will create a journey you won't soon forget. I can't wait to join them on another trail! jcpa villas2025-03-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have joined two hikes with AFT Adventures so far, namely, Stairway to Heaven - Right Bank (1 Mar 2025) and Rainbow Valley Hike (8 Mar 2025). What really stood out to me about AFT is its impressive team, from Katja who led the Stairway to Heaven and Faisi and Diana who led the Rainbow Valley Hike. I felt so safe with them. You can really feel that they know what they’re doing. They have full control of what’s going on. They can can tell if we are moving slow or fast as they can tell the time it takes to reach every next stop.. I really appreciate how Katja looked after me, knowing that i don’t have that much experience and would always ask how I feel at the moment, if I have history of knee or leg pain, if I need more water or Pocari because she still has spare 😁. Her presence itself was a big encouragement to finish the hike. Diana and Faisi on the other hand are very technical with protecting their hikers, you can see how hands on they at watching every hiker’s steps, making sure we are doing things right. I have noticed Diana a lot of times going to the front and watching and guiding each hiker pass some sketchy parts of the trail. Then she’ll end up being at the end and then going back to the front again and so on. And Faisy, I learned a lot from him. He would teach some hiking techniques every now and then, impart some trivias about the flora and founa along the trail and he gave us an abseiling treat when we reached our last stop which was unexpected. I still have a lot of good things to say about AFT, from the booking to organization etc. But overall, i’m impressed and I look forward to doing more hikes with them. Kyla Ocso2025-03-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. had the best time doing the Rainbow Valley hike with this great team. shout out to Faisi and Diana for sharing their passion with us - it's always an honor to be in the presence of someone who enjoys their work. you guys inspire me. to more hikes in the future!!
