Vicki is a uniquely personable individual. She took time to get to know each member of our group and really made us feel welcome. She was always looking for ways to help anyone who needed anything. She was an absolute delight the whole trip.
Vicky was a very delightful person to have on the trip. She was very responsive to all the clients' needs. Whenever she was asked, she was always eager to find out information about an area or something we were seeing. Definitely would travel with Vicky again!
Vicky was amazing. Her kindness made the trip so wonderful; she was a joy to travel and hike with! The pace she set was perfect, and made the hikes such a joy. I especially appreciated how she made mine and my brother's birthdays so special. She also kindly extended a day of hiking for me and a few others one afternoon when the optional later hike was unavailable because those trails were closed due to landslides. Rather than simply retracing our steps from the morning (which had been my own suggestion) she took us on another route that gave us amazing panorama views of the valley below. It was my favorite hike of the trip!
Vicky is an excellent guide. She is well organized, adaptable, can relate to all people, and is just a nice person.
