I was very happy with our guide, Benedikt Arnold, who did a great job. He was much more positive than many of my previous guides and was prepared to take an (entirely justifiable) view on the weather, with very balanced judgement. I would happily use him again.
Ettiene took us on a wonderful trip in the stunning Dolomites. First day was rain and snow, Ettiene planned an alternative program in the First World War tunnels so we didn’t have to walk in the rain all day. The huts were nice and good food. The trip was a bit too challenging for our mother (65) but Ettiene helped her a lot by carrying her bag and securing her with a rope on the steep parts. Via ferratas were super cool, wonderful views. A tip for others: just go because it is great, but expect some serieus walking up is inclusief to get to the via ferratas.

Enrico Geremia was an excellent guide for our 1 day Rock Climbing adventure in Dolomites. He chose an excellent location, set up 2 top ropes for our large group to climb while he did several multi-pitch routes with between 1 - 4 climbers. Amazing location, great guiding thanks to Explore Share and Enrico.
