What people are saying about E-S Adventure Guides
Rob
Rachel
We had a great time bouldering with Léo who was really enthusiastic and encouraging, and who selected a good range of boulders to suit our different strengths whilst still being challenging. Would definitely recommend this as a great way to get introduced to outdoor bouldering at Fontainebleau.
Ruth
Willy was a brilliant instructor and guide. He took us on the Pont a Lesse beginners via ferrata, then onto a slightly harder section, and finally a short top-roped climb. We climbed with our 10 and 12 year olds and he was brilliant and making sure they followed all the safety rules, gave them good advice and on a particularly tricky vertical section, used a top rope for extra security. He was really encouraging and great company. He communicated well beforehand and his English was excellent. He also used to be a photographer before he became a climbing instructor, and he took some fabulous photos which he shared with us afterwards. We had a fantastic time and I would definitely recommend going on a trip with him.
Denis
Willy est un très bon guide. Il nous a conseillé une via ferrata plus compliquée et mieux adaptée à notre niveau avant le départ, ce qui était bien vu de sa part. Il nous a guidé sans nous tenir par la main afin de nous laisser notre autonomie et a prit plein de photos de notre ascension.
Oak
Ivan was aan excellent guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, very friendly and approachable. He tailored the day to our experience and gave us loads of great tips to increase our enjoyment and improve our skills. I would highly recommend a day's bouldering with Ivan.
