James2024-06-13 I hired Andreas as a guide for two full days while in Cyprus. He knew the best spots to avoid the sun, and even though it was 37°C +,I climbed more routes in those two days than ever before. I also picked up a lot of tips from him. He is a cool guy, very patient, and it was a very fun couple of days. I highly recommend guiding with Andreas for both experienced and beginner climbers! Xu Junwei2024-05-08 We did a Madari Trail hike with Jenny as our guide. The whole hiking trip was wonderful and enjoyable. We learn so much about the Troodos Mountain and Cyprus from her. We are glad we added this hike to our itinerary and experience a different side of Cyprus =) Sara Maria Kyriacou2024-04-26 I did a beginner's lead climbing course with Andreas and it was an absolute blast! From learning new skills and discovering a new passion, to having the opportunity to visit gorgeous locations for our climbs and meeting wonderful people, this was an amazing experience. Andreas is a great teacher, he is very patient and approachable, making it very easy to understand the course material and ask questions. Overall, I've learned a lot while having the time of my life, would highly recommend! Emma Davidson2024-04-23 My husband and I went on a hike and abseil up Madari mountain with Andreas from Climb Hike Cyprus, and couldn’t recommend the experience enough. Andreas was an excellent instructor, we felt confident and safe during both the abseil and scrambling. He was also very knowledgable about the area and its wildlife so it was great chatting to him during the hike. An overall great experience! Aleksandra Kvurt2024-04-20 My friend highly recommended an outdoor climbing session with Andreas, and it truly exceeded my high expectations—it was fantastic! We opted for a half-day session for beginners, in the stunningly beautiful location in Inea. We learned so much under Andreas's guidance; he was incredibly supportive and ensured our safety throughout. Above all, it was a lot of fun! Ishaan Sharma2024-04-17 Had the pleasure of enrolling myself on the course in lead climbing led by Andreas. Absolutely would recommend to anyone looking to further their climbing pursuit. - I never thought I would try lead climbing, but reading their course schedule got me on board! The theory breakdown along with practical examples and consistent practice really built a level of comfort I'd never thought would be attainable, specially within such a short period. Was a huge help that Andreas is extremely clear in his communication and course preparation prior to day commencement. The incremental progressions in theory and real use of it really helps massively with skill development, without fear of being overwhelmed. Opened up an avenue of my sporting life I never had an intention to pursue but was introduced to it - in the best of ways! And intend on continuing my adventures on the walls. Strongly recommend. Sabine Blankevoort2024-04-17 100% recommend! Andreas is such a patient and calm instructor and made us all feel safe as well as challenged on the rocks! I couldn’t have asked for a better lead climbing course 🤩 Faye Loizou2024-04-17 An absolutely amazing experience. Great people, stunning locations and everything taught with enthusiasm and safety taken care of. Highly highly recommend 🌟 Crystal Jow2023-11-14 I scheduled a guided hike and climbing experience with Climb Hike Cyprus. Both are amazing. It's a great way to immerse yourself in Cyprus's nature. Hiking: Jenny asked me what I wanted to get out of the experience to gauge the right hiking experience for me. She's knowledgeable, providing me history of Cyprus and explaining the plants we pass along the way. Jenny also gave me tips on places to go for my time in Cyprus. Climbing: It was my first time outdoor lead climbing, and Andreas is a great coach. He sprinkled helpful climbing tips while I was climbing. He challenged me while keeping me feeling safe throughout the time. The experiences is the highlight of my time in Cyprus. Highly recommend! Kypros2023-10-31 I did a beginner's climbing course with Andreas and I must say it was an amazing experience. Andreas is both very professional and very kind person. He is the best teacher one could ask for. Highly recommended. On the plus side, you will spend some time in beautiful nature places. Thank you Andreas for this new world you showed to us! :D
