Guillaume was an amazing guide! I’d love to climb with him again if I ever come back!

Great adventure! Sadly les Calanques we’re closed due to fire risk; however, our guide, Guillaume, found another climbing location for us (Saint-Victoire), which was beautiful and fun as well. A note to those from the states — what you climb in the gym ≠ what you climb outside. Make sure to communicate that, otherwise, be ready to be pushed!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences, and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenges which I thoroughly enjoyed (I climb regularly in a gym and occasionally outdoor sport routes). The view was fantasitic as well. I also learned a lot from Guillaume about all the good climbings in Southern France (definitely coming back in the future!) The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear - highly recommend!

My girlfriend and I did a full day climbing adventure in Les Calanques national park in Marseille with Julien from the ES Adventure Guides Team. Julien was an amazing guide! He gave us clear instructions and made us feel very safe on our first ever multipitch route. He gave us several options for which route we wanted to climb, all well within our ability range. The route we ended up climbing was spectacular in many aspects: excellent rock, perfect for our experience level, spectacular views of the ocean, and even included a pitch going through a cave! Definitely consider booking with ES if you are planning to climb in Marseille. It was absolutely worth it to have a seasoned guide lead us!
