I can't say enough good things about Ryder-Walker. From start to finish, the staff at RW was courteous, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and helpful. We hiked the Hikers' Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt, and we hiked solo rather than with a group. RW booked our hotels, hostels and huts, arranged for luggage transfers, and gave advice whenever I asked for it. They were persistent in finding us rooms in their favorite places, even being waitlisted at one hotel that opened up in time for our trip. Everything worked out perfectly. More importantly, they found charming places to stay that offered dinner and breakfast, and mapped out our route in 8 days, giving recommendations about how to abbreviate the entire hike, which usually lasts 11-12 days rather than our 8 day hike. I am certain that we could not have had such a great trip without Ryder Walker. I am also convinced that we were booked into nicer rooms because we were with RW rather than just solo travelers who showed up dusty and tired. Their expertise was absolutely invaluable in planning this trip. I will definitely book again with Ryder Walker! What a fantastic organization, what an EPIC TRIP made better and easier with Ryder Walker. I am so grateful. read more
