Everything went exactly as planned and desired! We had a great day out climbing with Toti. He showed us around the area and gave us some great climbing tips!

Alexander

Toti was incredible! He was very accommodating and found the perfect climbs for us based on experience and skill level. He also taught us both technical and physical skills that were extremely gratifying and memorable. He also taught us a lot about the local history of Montserrat while we hiked up to our climbs, which was both educational and entertaining! We would highly recommend climbing with Toti and now the bar has been set so high.

My 2 kids and I were very happy to climb with Toti. Toti is a fenomenal climber. Seeing Toti climb and learning from him was great. Between 3 of us we had different levels of climbing experience and Toti made it fun for all of us. At the end he gave us a challenge that we couldn’t accomplish. This was exactly what we asked for. At all times we felt very safe. We got unlucky with the weather. It rained that day in Montserrat. Toti found an area that did not get rained on. We started climbing but unfortunately later it started raining in that area as well. We met with our guid at the train station. The entire time prior to the trip we communicated through the chat on the Explore- share. The only concern I had was climbing shoes for kids. But Tori had some shoes that worked for them.

Toti was an amazing instructor. He took us to the right place for our skill set and also shared the tips to improve our climbing skills. Would definitely recommend for anyone traveling to Monserrat.
