We had the best three days with your guides in chamonix, they really made all the experiences extra special. Not only did you feel safe in their hands but they made it all such fun.

We went canyoning near Megeve. I. Any recommend this enough. The guide balanced super professional with fun. His objective was clearly to make sure everyone in a very mixed group had a great time. Nothing was too much and nothing but smiles. Just boom it and enjoy it!

We had a great time with Philippe on the canyoning trip, Luc on the canirando and the whole team on the rafting trip.

Morzine canyoning - c'est fantastique!
We did the canyoning trip with our 12 year old daughter. It starts with a 43m abseil off a bridge ... Amazing. Very safety conscious instructors, but with plenty of adrenaline and thrills. We all loved it. Worth every one of the fifty euros it cost.

We had a great family time yesterday.
A beautiful memory.

Thank you Franck for this morning of discovery of canyoning! A top monitor who reassures the uninitiated and who knows how to motivate the troops with a great atmosphere!

Victor

We had a great time, but it was too short compared to the advertised time of 4 hours. The instructor was top notch!
Bad surprise when we got back to the car park, the windscreen was broken and all our stuff had been stolen. Be careful where you park, the car park is not safe.

Vincent

Thank you Olivier for managing us during this week (group of 20 people). Quality instructors for very nice activities : Canyoning. I won't hesitate to come back next time.
And thumbs up to Evolution 2 for making it happen!
