ADVENTURES FEEDBACK

Ila organised the most fabulous authentic experience - everything was customised and well thought through. The variety of hikes and experiences we had and the personalities of her and her counterpart Anna made the experience one to remember and I would definitely go on another week long trip! The food at the mountain huts they individually selected each day was very high which made the long hikes even more fun.

An incredible experience! ✨️ a once in a lifetime trip to the Dolomites with amazing views. Illa is a beautiful soul with a passion for giving others unique and core memories that last a lifetime. I will be forevee grateful for meeting Illa and honoured to hike with her. She is supportive, encouraging and you will never feel like you can't achieve something with her around. Thank you for everything you do 💜⛰️

It was my first time in the Dolomites and what an experience! Ila prepared an amazing itinerary of beautiful hikes. We had sun, cloud and a little rain, but it didnt stop us. The group was great and can't wait to hike again with Ila.

"What a combo! Ilaria and Anna are the dream team. They organised such a memorable week exploring the Dolomites - all we had to do was turn up and be ready to hike! It was a such a fantastic week being surrounded by the stunning mountains and a great bunch of like-minded people"
