Cyprus climbing road trip, 6 days

We had a fantastic 5 days mountaineering with Kyriakos, despite Gouter Refuge being shut and the Glaciers around Mont Blanc being generally unsafe. The ascent of Gran Paradiso is something I’ll remember for a very long time. A massive thank you to Kyriakos for everything that you taught us.

Highly recommended. Very successful trip over Leinzspitze and Nadelhorn. A very challenging climb made possible by the excellence of our two guides.

I had the pleasure to do the Arête des Cosmique climb with Kyriakos this summer. His is kind, easy to be around, and has a professional mindset. Due to this the climbing experience exceeded all expectations. When I am climbing in Europe in the future, it will definitely be with Kyriakos.

The trip rating is actually for summiting Gran Paradiso rather than Mont Blanc. Unfortunately the conditions for Mont Blanc were very poor with all the thawing of the permafrost enabling many rock slides.

The address for Explore-Share that is on file with the bank is required not just the address of the bank.

Kyriakos was the best guide that we could asked for and more. Very professional and skilled in any aspect of mountaineering and climbing. We learned from him a lot , spend together 5 amazing days full of action.

Kyriakos was very knowledgeable, thoughtful, and attentive. I really enjoyed having him guide me up the mountain. He was more than willing to share information and answer questions that I had, and he did a good job steering me toward a route that met my personal needs/goals. I couldn’t recommend him more highly!

Covid trouble made booking and reservation things difficult. - despite that very good service via explore share, thank you! However, there were some communications difficulties with the guide. Also during the trip communication on planning wasn't always great with him. Otherwise as a guide in person he was very patient and great. Trip itself was very nice, without any complaints!

Appreciated the professionalism and flexibility of my guide. On summit day, some groups turned back due to the winds, but Kyriakos decided to continue and assess as we got higher up. We ended up making the summit. I appreciated his willingness to put in the effort to continue on instead of just calling it like others did. Great guide and would book with him again.

well done tour by Kyriakos -- competent, fun to be around. a great day in Vallee Blanche -- one thing, would've been very nice to receive a copy of the photos that Kyriakos snapped of our group!

Kyriakos Rossidis is a fantastic touring and skiing guide. Our safety and well-being was his top concern. Extremely competent and helpful with equipment and all arrangements with huts, etc. Also great company — low-key, friendly, sense of humor. Could not ask for a better guide.

Our giude Kyriakos Rossidis was excellent.

The skiing trip to Vallee Blanche was very good, a guide helped us to stay safe, and showed most beautifull places in Vallee Blanche.

Een indrukwekkende ervaring, zeer goede begeleiding en vlotte organisatie. De eerste dagen afwisselende trek en klimtochten om te acclimatiseren en gewenning te krijgen met omgeving, de gids staat open voor suggesties en persoonlijke voorkeuren.

Kyriakos is great, trustful, and one can learn a lot from him! Would do it anytime again, thanks!

Taking a rock climbing course with Kyriakos was the right choice for me. He is professional, experienced, rigorous, very serious about his teaching and pushes you beyond your limits in the best way possible. He would always answer all questions we had and took the time to help with our weaknesses and fears. By the end of the course I felt I had build a strong background on safety and very confident to lead on my own. He is an aspiring mountain guide and nature lover. I would strongly recommend him as a teacher and as a guide!

Really happy with our guided off piste tour! Kyros took us places where other people hadn’t been skiing before, which was really nice.

Kyros was excellent and professional! I had some delays getting my equipment in the morning, and he was more than flexible and capable of making sure I got what I needed. I would recommend him to anyone.

We very much appreciated Kyros’ professionalism and knowledge of the area. We’re fairly adept skiers but were not all that familiar with the mountaineering gear or protocol - Kyros was very thorough with his directions and making sure we were all safe. I had a 12 and 13 year old with me and he gave me a lot of confidence with his skills without being patronizing. ( Plus...he found us the goods!) We all had a great day. Happy to recommend him for or offer other intel.

Kyros was a great guide and did a wonderful job over two days. I highly recommend him and think he's a great guide.

Kyriakos was awesome! Very knowledgeable but didn’t push or feel like a lesson. If we asked a question he’d answer but we never felt like he was trying to teach. I was extremely happy with how we saw every other “group” going down more or less the same route and he brought us over to a spot that was untouched.

Kyriakos is a knowledgable and careful guide, we felt in safe hands.

Kyriakos has a ton of experience and we felt very safe with him. I wish I was in better fitness condition for climbing mountains. Going on the StairMaster was not sufficient. My quads struggled going down hill and I should have trained in boots. I ended up renting boots that gave me bad blisters

It was a great experience, with just the two of us in the group. The guide was kind and helpfull. The view was fantastic and the climbing great!

I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. For one who has limited climbing skills, it was gradual and exciting.

We found Kyriakos to be thorough, professional, even tempered and completely trustworthy. At no point did we notice unnecessary risk or exposure and Kyriakos’s professional manner shone through at all times. We would definately consider using his services again in the future.

My Son and I we're absolutely delighted with our day out skiing the Vallee Blanche. Our guide Kyriakos was friendly, helpful and extremely professional. We really felt that we were being looked after by one of the best. Kyriakos also shared his knowledge of the route, the mountains and he even gave us some tips to improve our skiing. An absolutely fantastic experience that we will never forget.

I had a brilliant time on my 2 day climbing ascent of Mont Blanc. The guide was great and I really enjoyed the challenge of the climb aswell as the stunning views and scenery. I would recommend this trip to anyone who is thinking of climbing Mont Blanc and feels they have the fitness and ability to do so in limited time and feels they are able enough for the harder Trois Monts route. It truely was an amazing experience!

We made it to the summit eventually. It turned out to be a really nice good trip. Our guided days were great.

Kyriakos is a top guide and a clear expert in his profession. He is a patient mountain guide and Is the best guide I have ever had the pleasure of climbing with. If you’re determined to climb Mont Blanc Kyriakos and his amiable personality will ensure you have fun on the way to the summit! I will seek his services in the future for other climbs around the world.

Great tutor with always the safety concern in mind. Passionate for what he does, patient, and always there to demonstrate the right advice and have an experience of a lifetime.

Kyriakos is an amazing climbing instructor. He gives priority to the safety of him trainees and to the understanding of all safety measures during climbing. He sees the abilities and the will of each trainee. By this way he helps his trainees to reach their maximum potential during the climbing course.

Kyriakos was an exceptional guide and coach. His professionalism when he was training us together with his patience and his support made him the ideal trainer for me. This man is a calm force that you can count on. I will choose Kyriakos for the next rock climbing levels in the future to complete my training!

The mountain and the entire area is amazing on ots beauty, but two days are not enough for this climb. When I wanted too book the trip the guide dis warn me but I wanted to try anyways. Unfortunatelly like he said, I didn't get aclimatiazed to air and couldnt make it to the top. You should try and do the mont blanc climb, just not in 2 days, unless you're experienced with climing and low air environment.

Kyros was a very nice guide. Very skilled and also nice. Arête des Cosmiques was a very nice mix of rock, ice and snow with excellent access. Highly recommended!!

Simply the best!! Kyrros loves what he does! A very responsible person/mountain guide He has an amazing sense of humour Fab time guaranteed Best instructor ever ️
