and the care taken with all the arrangements. We hope to repeat what was a most enjoyable
week in spectacular mountains.

packed lunches!! Thank you.
Robin and Sandra, Peaks & Passes, September 2012
Thank you for a wonderful holiday. The scenery is superb and the walks really enjoyable.
The standard of the guides was excellent -
Hike Pyrenees did a perfect job constructing a bespoke tour for a group of us in
our 50’s and 60’s with varied hiking experience. Everyone was thrilled with the trip.

and personal commitment by the owners to excellence! Highly recommended.
Paul, Bespoke
Itinerary, September 2012
Thank you for a wonderful experience! Very informative and experienced guides who
knew how to tailor the trip to our particular group.
Dianna, Bespoke Itinerary, September
2012
Hike Pyrenees is a highly attractive option for Americans to access the Pyrenees
mountains, hikes, wildlife and towns with a professionally run hiking group geared
to their needs. The team is solid, the scenery picturesque, the hikes well chosen
and the price excellent.
Eric, Bespoke Itinerary, September 2012
This was a spectacular hiking experience with a visual or culinary surprise around
every corner! Phil and Anna offer a superb and personalised package -
Exceeded our expectations. Loved that each day was different. Will most definitely
recommend to others.
Tim and Nancy, Village to Village Self Guided, September 2012
Lovely walks led by experienced guides who all had extensive knowledge of the geography,
history, flora and fauna of the area.
Christine, Bespoke Itinerary, September 2012
Fantastic bespoke service -
Phil could enter mastermind on most topics to do with Spain but he is particularly
expert in Pyrenees flora and fauna! Altogether a brilliant holiday (my second with
Hike Pyrenees).
Carol, Bespoke Itinerary, September 2012
An excellent holiday -
Use Hike Pyrenees if you are looking for a tailor-
Amazing week with Hike Pyrenees! The mountains, the guides and the spirit of the
group were just lovely. Very well organized trip especially for people coming from
other continents!

Beautiful area, excellent walks, fantastic hotel -
Flexible walking in superb mountain scenery together with an excellent choice of
hotels.
Liz and family, Village to Village Self Guided, August 2012
My husband and I enjoyed our village to village hike. The scenery was lovely and
the hikes were varied. The innkeeper were warm and hospitable. We appreciated the
personal touch that both Anna and Phil put into our experience in the Pyrenees.
Stefan
and Mary, Village to Village Self Guided, August 2012
We have really enjoyed our self guided holiday -
A good holiday for all hillwalkers -
George and Hannah were attentive, knowledgeable and entertaining guides making every
day a pleasure. The scenery was spectacular and we loved Hotel Almud and Mariano’s
wonderful food!
Jerry and Gill, Village to Village Guided, July 2012
I found the organisation very efficient, the guides were friendly, tolerant but gently
firm and encouraging. The week was colourful and energising and any pain was negated
by a sense of achievement.
Russell, Village to Village Guided, July 2012
Wow -
The village to village hike was outstanding set against the magnificent backdrop
of the Valle de Tena. The walks were a perfect distance and each day provided a different
landscape. Walking directions were clear and the hotels gave a real Spanish flavour.
Excellent organisation from Hike Pyrenees!
Phil and Sarah, Village to Village Self
Guided, June 2012
A thoroughly enjoyable week of excellent walking, fantastic views along great routes
combined with superb hospitality in the hotels along the way. Thank you Phil and
Anna for a great week.
Paul and Paula, Village to Village Self Guided, June 2012
This is the holiday for the ‘serious’ walker who also appreciates his creature comforts.
Phil and his team ‘go the extra mile’ to provide a memorable vacation.
John, Private
group holiday, June 2012
I have had several walking holidays in France and Spain. This holiday was of the
best. I will be back!
John, Discover Ordesa, June 2012
Great scenery. Great walking. A very efficient outfit. Brilliant holiday.
John and
Gini, Discover Ordesa, June 2012
Walking with Hike Pyrenees is a very special experience -
Thanks for an excellent holiday -
A world class experience that left us with great take-
Stunning scenery; excellent guide; one of the best walking holidays we have ever
had.
Barbara and Paul, Lakes & Valleys, May 2012
If you want to experience the Spanish Pyrenees there is no better way. Phil & Anna
have done an excellent job packaging a good hike and a local village experience.
Michael,
Village to Village Self Guided, May 2012
We signed up for self guided hiking and Phil helped us select four walks -
The tour exceeded our expectations!!
Connie and Vince, Village to Village Self Guided,
May 2012
We have had a fabulous holiday. We have thoroughly enjoyed the walks which were just
right for our ability. Our enjoyment was enhanced by Phil & Hannah’s knowledge of
the flora and fauna. P.s. Anna’s pack lunches were amazing!
Marie and Howard, Lakes
& Valleys, September 2011
We had a wonderful week walking the ‘Lakes & Valleys’. We are glad we chose the guided
walks as we met new friends and learnt a lot more about the area than doing the walks
alone. The walks were varied and provided tailored challenges. Many thanks to Phil,
Anna and Hannah for a wonderful week of walking -
A really good week of walking in beautiful countryside with fantastic guides. I would
highly recommend this holiday to all walkers.
Sue, Private Group Holiday, September
2011
Another great week’s walking in Spain with Hike Pyrenees.
Tony and Orlagh, Private
Group Holiday, September 2011
I had a fabulous 3 weeks with Anna, Phil and Hannah -
Excellent planning and co-
An excellent holiday in a lovely part of Europe. Outstanding flora and fauna and
very knowledgeable guides. I hope to come again!
Val, Peaks & Passes, September 2011
Fab weeks walking, stress free arrangements and all very friendly. Would definitely
recommend.
Debbie, Peaks & Passes, September 2011
Very personal service. Guides very well informed, helpful and accommodating to everyone’s
needs and interests. Diverse and well considered walks meeting all guests levels
of ability. Accommodation, food, lunches and Anna’s cakes excellent. Organisation
of rest day very well judged with time to relax and a group excursion for tapas al
fresco. Would definitely recommend Hike Pyrenees -
Being avid hikers from the Seattle area, we've always wanted to hike the Pyrenees
but were not quite sure that our limited Spanish speaking skills would let us negotiate
it on our own. Luckily, we booked a trip with Phil and all the logistics were taken
care of for us! Hikes were fantastic, group was superb, and we left feeling we'd
really seen the Ordesa valley. As our new international friends would say, the trip
was brilliant!
Chris & Clay, Discover Ordesa, September 2011
My ‘Hike Pyrenees’ experience was fantastic. Phil, Anna and Hannah made an excellent
team and provided a unique, safe, well organised holiday package. Excellent value
for money!
Catherine, Discover Ordesa, September 2011
Clean and friendly hotel; great variety of hikes; beautiful scenery; excellent company
and guides. Overall superb value for money. Thank you Phil & Hannah.
Rosemary & Ian,
Discover Ordesa, September 2011
Phil & Hannah made our walking holiday perfect from the very good pack lunches to
the fabulous scenery. We will come again.
David & Janet, Discover Ordesa, September
2011
The holiday was great value. We especially liked the choice of two different walks
each day. In many instances it would have been very challenging to do self guided
versions of the hiking we did.
Carolyn & Wayne, Discover Ordesa, September 2011
A really wonderful holiday. Challenging and different. You need to be fit though
to enjoy it to the full. Wonderful, knowledgeable guides.
Peter, Peaks & Passes, September
2011
Excellent week getting to know the area. A very happy experience.
Susan, Peaks & Passes,
September 2011
A great weeks hiking with varied challenging ascents and dramatic views. Well worth
the effort.
Stephen, Peaks & Passes, September 2011
A lovely holiday combining wonderful walks with a comfortable base to stay and as
much information as we needed on an independent package.
Jenny & Chris, Self Guided

The level of support, care and attention from Phil and Anna was perfect for our self-
We have had an absolutely excellent week -
What a great first experience of a guided hiking holiday. It took about 3 minutes
after meeting Phil to shift from nerves at the physical challenge ahead to relaxed
excitement. The week was sociable, educational and stimulating in magnificent countryside.
Anna’s homemade packed lunches were to die for. Phil and Anna aren’t simply excellent
guides and hosts but they go the extra mile with unexpected added touches. As us
kiwis say “the tramp was awesome fun”.
Ian and Miranda, Lakes & Valleys, August 2011
Totally enjoyable experience, from the diversity of the walks, Phil’s in-
Phil was an excellent guide, looking after everyone and keeping us well informed
on the walks, the flora and the fauna -
It’s really nice to find a company that o out of their way to tailor your holiday
to you and what you want. Thanks very much Phil & Anna.
Mike, Peaks & Passes, August
2011
Excellent holiday. Good walking in wonderful scenery. Phil was a very knowledgeable
and informative guide. A very relaxing week.
Mike & Patricia, Lakes & Valleys, August
2011
Having never considered guided walking before I was a little apprehensive. However
having enjoyed a brilliant, well organised (down to the smallest detail) week I cannot
understand why I hadn’t done it before! Phil and Anna’s fantastic hiking holidays
will be hard to beat though!
Sheena, Lakes & Valleys, August 2011
The extra special after-
A well organised week and a good introduction to the area. Fantastic walks with lots
to learn and a great hotel to relax in. Thanks to Anna and Phil for their efforts.
Phil,
Sara and Ed, Lakes & Valleys, August 2011
The scenery of the Valle de Tena was spectacular; Phil was an excellent guide and
ensured the group were all content. We all had a superb holiday -
Well organised, very friendly, informative holiday adapted to meet the needs of the
group and the weather. Excellent, many thanks.
Sue, Peaks & Passes, July 2011
Worthwhile walks in a stunning location, peaceful and good for my Spanish!
Alice,
Peaks & Passes, July 2011
A holiday that far exceeded my expectations due to the care and thoughtfulness of
our two leaders Phil & Hannah.

This wonderful holiday has been made all the richer by the absolute first class care
and consideration of Phil and his staff. Very many thanks for a marvellous trip.

Thank you Phil, Anna and Hannah. One word describes the week -
Great walks, great guides and great hotel
Jill & Don, Discover Ordesa, July 2011
This was our second holiday with Hike Pyrenees and as before we had a wonderful time
in this stunning part of Spain. Phil & Anna provided an excellent service and were
very considerate of the personal needs of each member of the group. We will return!
Brian
& Sandra, Private group holiday, June 2011
Great choice of walks for a group of mixed ability. The flexibility offered by Hike
Pyrenees has enhanced our enjoyment of the holiday.
Hamish, Maisead & Susan, Self
Guided -
The holiday was very professionally run but still maintained that personal touch.
Excellent itinerary led by friendly and professional guides. Hannah was really good
and ensured no one in the group was left out. (and the home made flapjacks were yummy!)
Colin
& Jill, Refugio Week, June 2011
Second holiday with Hike Pyrenees. Excellent time. Refugio Week very challenging
but hugely rewarding. Phil, Anna and Hannah were superb. Great time and long lasting
memories!
Tim, Refugio Week, June 2011
An awesome set of walks led by expert guides. The whole experience was a real adventure.
At times I was definitely outside my comfort zone but was pleased to ascend Pico
Tebbarai even if I couldn’t quite make it to the top of Monte Perdido.
Nick, Refugio
Week, June 2011
I had a great week -
Wonderful memories of sunny walks in an area of spectacular beauty: limestone mountains,
woodland, wild flowers, vultures, waterfalls -
Blue skies, bright sun, bubbling brook, soaring cliff faces, snow topped mountains
and the chime of cowbells; all this in the first hour of our week of walking. Each
day was different. Our expectations were surpassed in every regard. If possible we
will return to do ‘Discover Ordesa’. Phil and Hannah clearly enjoy their work and
work hard to ensure each guests needs are met. Thanks.
Iain and Mary Anne, Lakes &
Valleys, June 2011
It exceeded my expectations -
This walking holiday ticked all the right boxes. Loved it!
Valerie, Lakes & Valleys,
June 2011
The Pyrenees superseded our expectations for a walking holiday both in terms of mountain
scenery but most of all with the unexpected amount and variety of flowers. They were
truly stupendous! All of this, coupled with the professional guiding ability and
expert flora and fauna knowledge that Phil possesses, made this the ideal walking
holiday – which of course would not have been sustainable without the substantial
lunches and snacks that Anna provided! Many thanks and best wishes to you both and
we hope to return at some time in the future.
Anne and Kevin, Private Group Guided
Walking Holiday, June 2011
Very helpful, friendly and flexible service from initial enquiry through to final
farewell -
The walks were relaxed, unhurried and informative. Each day was tailored to suit
the weather conditions and ability of the group. The pack lunches made by Anna were
varied and excellent.
Dave and Alex, Lakes & Valleys, June 2011
We really enjoyed our week. We loved all the walks -
We were made very welcome and the additional guidance given by Phil about the walks
was excellent -
The routes suggested by Phil were ideal for us. The scenery was superb and the accommodation
in Hotel Tierra de Biescas was very good and very friendly.
