What people are saying about Carlos

Inge

Happy for the second time, going mountain climbing with you! Thank you and see you 😉

George

We had a fantastic trip with Carlos as our guide. We were able to summit Mont Blanc with Carlos’ guidance and couldn’t have asked for more. There were some adverse weather conditions on the final day of our trip and so Carlos changed the refuge bookings to allow us to descend safely albeit with a long summit day. Explore-Share were great throughout with communications and Nico in particular was very helpful. Would definitely recommend but make sure to come prepared as it is a very tough climb!

Kornel

On 2 July, Carlos and I climbed Mont Blanc. We had a friendly atmosphere throughout the tour. Thanks to Carlos's professionalism and knowledge of the area, i felt completely safe all the time. Thanks Carlos :-)

Arnout

Although we weren’t able to make it to the top due to a last minute weather change, we truly enjoyed the expedition and Carlos as a guide! We will be trying again next year 😁

Gregory

The whole trip was excellent. Explore share did a great job coordinating. Carlos is an experienced guide and effective teacher. I felt safe with him the whole time we were on the mountain. The weather was terrific and we summited just as expected. I highly recommend Carlos Vasquez for Mont Blanc.
