Dan's unassuming style belies his depth as a guide. Of course he's as surefooted as a mountain goat, but just watch him turn some cold cuts into a gourmet picnic. And not only are his driving skills phenomenal (especially in Palermo), but this man can also sing!

Dan took great care of everyone, was sensitive to each person's interests and abilities, oozed a love of walking from every pore, stayed calm and steady under pressure, and was a terrific traveling companion.

Dan is an inspiration and a most amazing guide. Not only did I feel 100% taken care of with him, his competence and excellence shined. I learned so much from him about hiking and managing energy and output on long hikes with significant elevation gain, and how to deal with difficult terrain and much, much more. He had great stories and great energy and was an ideal leader.

If there was a rating higher than Excellent, Daniel would get it. Daniel's professional mountain climbing skills and confidence were unsurpassed and his concern for safety was paramount to everything else. I would put my life in his hands in the mountains any day of the week.<br />

Dan is a level-headed, multi-lingual mountaineering ninja who cheerfully volunteered trailside espresso after lunch, and thoughtfully orchestrated an epic sendoff dinner in Zermatt. What more can guests ask for?

Dan was fantastic. He was well organized with logistics; clearly very passionate about the Swiss Alps; an excellent guide who always had our safety, well being, and enjoyment top of mind. I loved that he encouraged us to immerse ourselves in the scenery and culture and local food and wine.
