Louise Russell

I am so glad we had Louise Russel as our guide! She has all the characteristics of an excellent hiking guide and is also fun and funny! I appreciate her in-depth knowledge about the trails - eg she took us on a trail different from the original plan so that we could get an incredible view of the Seven Sisters, instead of walking on it. Most importantly, she is always looking out for the safety, comfort and enjoyment of the group. All the hikers in this group are seniors who enjoy the outdoors and Louise made sure we had fun and were safe.

As I mentioned before, our guide Louise was experienced, knowledgeable, quick thinking and had a good sense of humor. When you have a group, even a small one, it’s great to keep your sense of humor. Also, I felt she was like the mother hen keeping an eye on all of us. I had two bloody toe blisters, my husband got a horrendous cold/cough and Louise was helpful and knowledgeable about what to do. Made our trip so much better!

Louise’s organisational ability, enthusiasm, care and kindness and sense of humour contributed to making us comfortable, confident and carefree. An excellent person and an outstanding guide.

Can't say enough great things about Louise. Her energy and enthusiasm were contagious. She was encouraging and caring. We missed her the night she wasn't with us.

Louise gave me confidence! She took us to wonderful places. She made lemonade from lemons (encouraging us to appreciate that we were getting the full flavor of Cornwall when we hiked through a torrential rain that left all our boots soaked).

Louise is calm, pleasant, helpful and organized. She went out of her way to make everyone feel comfortable regardless of their fitness level. Louise accommodated everyone's schedule for leaving the tour on the final day. She followed up after the trip with great pictures and information. I would not change one thing about her.

The bar has now been set entirely too high by our precious Louise. We all loved her so much that we would love to take her on all our trips. She was incredible - knowledgeable, flexible, answering our every whim. We could not have asked for a better guide,

Louise was the best! Always a smile on her face and so willing to make any changes we wanted to make during the trip.

LOUISE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER!!! NO ONE EVER DOUBTED HER GUIDING OR DRIVING SKLLS!! She was so genuine and we were incredibly lucky to get to know her!!!
