    My husband and I did the group hike to the Roman aqueduct (Peña Cortada), led by Dmitry, and it was truly spectacular! Walking through the town of Chelva with its Jewish, Moorish, Christian, and Arabic influence, traversing the Ruta del … More Agua along and above the river, and hiking up into the mountains, through tunnels that form part of the aqueduct before crossing the aqueduct itself, we saw incredible scenery, and best of all, the aqueduct–an amazing feat of engineering–over 2,000 years old, and completely preserved! It was nice getting to know this international group of hikers, and Dmitry has deep knowledge of the region which he is happy to share when asked. The hike was often uphill which was strenuous for me, though my husband (who is athletic) classified it as moderate. Highly recommend!

    We were 3 who went with Kristina with Valencia mountain Enthusiasts to hike Serra de Bernia. What a fantastic walk. Beautiful views, and Kristina is a fantastic guide, we just loved her. She cared about us, and was always asking if I was … More alright as this was my first mountain hike. Yes it was really challenging for me as there were a lot of rocks and stones to walk and climb up. But I made it. Thank you for a wonderful trip and walk. We will be going again with them.❤️❤️

    Fabulous two hikes over the weekend. Everything expertly organised and Melchor was the most wonderful of guides to walk with – professional and attentive but also fun and he went out of his way to make sure we all had the best time. Some … More lovely company on both hikes was the icing on the cake. Totally recommend if you want to see more of the Valencian countryside in good hands. Thank you 😊

    Our guide, Dmitry, was full of encouragement when I sometimes felt little trepidations on our recent week-long Dolomites trip. He really is an excellent and knowledgable guide who fills me with the confidence to just do it.
    For me, our
    … More trip with the Valencia Mountain Enthusiasts was the very best experience of my whole life. There was never a dull moment with a really great international group of people. We stayed in shared rooms in hotels with a choice to have a private room if you wished. Breakfasts were included – we were in Italy – What’s not to like about the food?
    All in all, Dmitry, curated a perfect week. The walks started really mind blowingly good and just when you thought it couldn’t get better it did! Our final walk of the week was totally epic! The finest!!!

    I feel very lucky to have connected with Valencia Mountain Enthusiasts for hiking in the region. I have hiked and biked with Dmitry and he is great. This weekend did a hike with Melchor for the first time so this review is about my experience … More with Melchor.
    Melchor is knowledgeable, sociable, and shows a lot of concern for hikers in the group, regardless of their experience and fitness. I was towards the front of the group this time, but he encouraged everyone to stay relatively close and routinely checked on everyone in the front and back of the pack.
    This hike had gorgeous cliff views from the top and in a canyon — and there were tricky spots with slick rock that required ropes and river crossings over boulders. (Not steep, but required planning and balance etc). Melchor navigated it all patiently and made sure everyone had fun. It was a great day with awesome views. Here are a few photos

    I highly recommend this group! My partner and I went on 10+ hikes during our 2 years living in Valencia and it was genuinely one of the best decisions we made. We loved the ease of being taken to all the most beautiful spots all across … More the Valencian Community (Valencia, Alicante and Castellón). Dmitry and Melchor are both great guides so you're guaranteed to be taken good care of!

    I recently had the pleasure of joining a weekend hiking trip organized by Dmitry in Ademuz, and I can't recommend him enough. I've known him for six years, and he has never disappointed me.
    This was my first experience with a
    … More weekend hike that included accommodation, and it was fantastic. Our group consisted of nine people from different countries and age groups, yet the communication throughout the trip was smooth and enjoyable.
    The route was exceptionally well planned, showcasing breathtaking landscapes and stunning waterfalls. Every moment was a delight, and I truly appreciated Dmitry’s expertise and knowledge of the area.
    If you're looking for a memorable hiking experience, I highly recommend this hiking company. You won't be disappointed!

    Joined Dmitry and his group for a week of hiking in the Dolomites Italy and had the best week ever! The week and hikes were well planned out and the mountains were superb and the group was a great mix with an awesome energy.
    Would thoroughly
