I've loved the positive energy of the group, highly motivated by the guides. Andy, you've done a fantastic job at making us believe we walked around the world :-). This shows how well organized and planned everything was. – Marta A.

Andy's inspirational and informative navigation is top notch. His passion for and deep knowledge of the AT is so tangible in both his planned workshops and informal conversations. I learned so much. – Rhonda T.

Fantastic trip and what a campsite the second night! – Rob E.

We both learned a lot. Being new I am not sure what would make it better. The hiking itself was my favorite. – Minette S.
