I also love travelling to discover new cultures and amazing landscapes from our breathtaking planet ! Feel free to contact me if you wish to be guided and live an unique experience up in the mountains.

What people are saying about Jean Benoit

Kyle

Jean agreed quickly to do the trip, but then for two weeks did not communicate whatsoever. That was disappointing. After that time, he cancelled the trip. The people at explore-share were very helpful in finding me a replacement guide by the name of Elsa Salmon. She was superb on every level. Kudos to the explore-share team and Elsa for making this great trip happen.
