Follow Alice Reviews 

My partner and I celebrated our anniversary with Follow Alice in Uganda, and we couldn't have asked for a more incredible experience. We embarked on an unforgettable journey filled with adventure, wildlife, and amazing memories.

The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly the encounters with chimpanzees and gorillas. These magnificent creatures left us in awe, and it was a dream come true to observe them in their natural habitat. The expert guidance provided by the Follow Alice team ensured that these encounters were not only breathtaking but also educational.

Our tour guide, Chiwa, deserves special mention. Chiwa's knowledge, passion, and dedication were exceptional. He made our journey even more enriching by sharing insights about Uganda's wildlife and culture. Chiwa's friendly and accommodating nature added a personal touch to our experience, making us feel like we were traveling with a close friend.

My trip with Follow Alice was once in a lifetime, and all because of the helpful trip manager and staff/porters.

We visited Tanzania in August 2023. My partner and I climbed Kilimanjaro (7 day trip) with Follow Alice and also went on a 4 day safari. Our hike up Kilimanjaro was so excellently organised with the staff being really professional and supportive, I can imagine making it to the submit without the support of the guides. The equipment and support was excellent. I was also drawn to Follow Alice as they are a member of the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project (KPAP) as it was really important that the porters we climbed with were treating well and all had really positive things to say about Follow Alice.

The safari was one of the best experience and completely surpassed our expectations. We had a private trip (just my partner and our safari guide) saw all the big 5 and our accommodation was completely breath-taking! Our guide was so knowledgeable and taught us all about the animals we saw and life in Tanzania.

We have just finalised our trek in the Nar-Phu valley of Nepal (group of 2) and we could not have wished for a better experience. The support we received from the Follow Alice team was unassailable. Chiefly, our trekking companions, composed of our guide Mr. Lhakpa Sherpa and porter Mr. Sange Sherpa, was what made the trek so enjoyable and rewarding. We needed to make some adjustments to the itinerary along the way; and our needs were immediately fulfilled. They made us feel comfortable and safe for the duration of the trek. It would not have been the same without them.
As for the booking process (led my Michael), it was smooth sailing since day one. We requested a custom trip (itinerary, number of days, etc.,) and everything was arranged in a simple and swift manner. The communication was always extremely easy.
The Nar-Phu valley: it is difficult to describe how wonderful and incredible it is. The mix of scenery, terrain and people is what makes it a truly special destination. For those who enjoy peace and quite, this route is perfect: mules and yaks are the only companions you will have.
We truly recommend Nar-Phu and Follow Alice - an unforgettable experience!

My experience with Follow Alice was one to remember for my whole life! Everything from the accommodation, food, transportation, itinerary, and finally to the trek to Machu Picchu was well organized and beautiful!

I was so impressed by our guide, Mario. The effort he went to make sure we were doing okay through out the hike, give us historical context, and give a good happy spirit to the hike!

Thank you to Lexy for putting together the awesome itinerary, I’m so grateful for all the lovely things I got to experience while in Peru!

I highly highly recommend Follow Alice

I recently had an amazing adventure with Follow Alice, I went on the breathtaking 4-day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. From the beginning, Follow Alice's team impressed me with their exceptional organisation and attention to detail. My journey began in Cusco, where I visited the famous Rainbow Mountain before commencing on my four-day trek to Machu Picchu. My guide, Mario, was not only experienced but also incredibly knowledgeable about the trail and its historical significance. His guidance added so much depth to the experience and made the trip so much more enjoyable.

The tranquil beauty of the mountains, the vivid sounds of beautiful birds, colours of the flowers, and all the welcoming smiles of the locals i encountered along the way made each step worthwhile. Follow Alice went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the trip was meticulously organised, including transportation, meals, and accommodations. Their attention to detail and commitment to delivering an unforgettable experience made the journey stress-free and allowed me to fully immerse myself in the marvels of Peru.

I wholeheartedly recommend Follow Alice to anyone seeking a well-planned and extraordinary travel experience. Their amicable team, imaginative itineraries, and astute approach to adventure travel are guaranteed to leave you with cherished memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you, Follow Alice, for an incredible journey!

I’ve been to the top of Kilimanjaro with Follow Alice in the end of Sep 2023. I cannot express enough gratitude to the team who helped me make it to the top! Lead guide Tony was always energetic, cheering us up. At the same time checking up on us all the time. Guide assistant Mohamed and summit porter Kasti were literally holding my hand until I got to Uhuru peak.( I was ok physically , but was so mentally drained that wanted to go home). If they were not there I would probably returned to the base camp!
Beside summit, every day with the group and guides was full of fun and interesting discussion(and hike ofc). Guide Frencis was very knowledgeable about flora on the mountain and I felt like I am in Botanical garden with a tour 😂.
What I mean with above is that the crew is amazing! The hike is not easy, but the crew make it as comfortable as possible.
Beside that I liked that Follow Alice is a part of KPAP and treats porters with respect.
In terms of preparation for the hike, all videos&guidelines are so well organised, I felt like I really don’t need to Google anything else.
Thanks for the amazing trip!

The FollowAlice team did everything possible to get me and my son to the summit. My son was low maintenance and crucial to my success. I was not feeling well when I landed in Tanzania and did not improve. I was tired, dehydrated, had breathing issues etc and was ready to quit by the third day. The FollowAlice team helped me with my backpack, steadying me over tough terrain and generally giving me extra care and a push. They did that level of care for two others in the party (out of 10 climbers) Eight of 10 made it to the summit. The guides were heroic. I also can not say enough positive about the porters. They glided effortlessly up and down the mountain with heavy loads and were always in place with equipment before we arrived at the next campsite.

Follow Alice made my trip to Tanzania unbelievable. Their organization, accommodations and guides were amazing. This organization is both responsible and youthful and bring a lot of energy and helpful information - making what could be a daunting challenge into a fun endeavor. I couldn’t recommend Tanzania with Follow Alice More!

Fantastic experience that I will never forget. I visited magnificent places and breathtaking views. I'm happy to have done this with Follow Alice, a team of very well trained, kind and helpful people. if I return to Tanzania it will be with Follow Alice again

One of thr best experiences of my life. Follow Alice was amazing, true professionals. Met some wonderful people who are now friends and saw sights that I am blessed to have seen. You won't regret doing this.

I Would definately recommend this tour Operator.

First of all, their social média (especially YouTube vidéo) is awesome and answers at least 95% of your questions.

Then, the pré-departure service is also incredible. Tash and Tine will do all they can to accomodate every of your needs and answers every of your questions. I love and need to be EXTREMELY prepared before going to a trip and they will make you a full absent complete scedule in few time. You can also add, modify or remove anything you need in the Same day. The pré-departure meeting is very complete and usefull. You really feel 100% ready and know exactly what to expect and the gear you need. I appreciated that there was no hidden fee. You knew exactly how much you paid and how much you should tip the porters.

The Lindrin lodge accomodation was way better than we expected. Very clean, excellent staff and excellent food. We even have been able to book a unplannified trip to Chemka Hotsprings in FIVE MINUTES!!! Would recommand this place to anyone going near Moshi.

Then, the best part of the trip for sure was the crew on site. Everything was perfectly organised and nothing was left to the destiny. They are true professionals in every aspect of the climb and they all are real professionals that made everything in their power to make sure that everyone go up safely. They were very serious about safety, while being very Nice and cool when needed. I can even say that I made friends whitin the crew and will remember them forever.

To conclude, the main reason I would recommand them is how their employees talked about the company and how they were treated. Be advised, be ready to see other cheap tour operators giving very bad conditions to their porters (no boots, no food, no water). However, we found that our crew had better conditions and they all told us that they were very well treated compared to other crew Operator and they all told us that FollowAlice is known to treated respecfully every employee and give them the best conditions.

Just completed the Kilimanjaro trek with Follow Alice. I decided on the 8 day Lemosho route after much research and the Youtube videos helped. The company were brilliant from start to finish. A very thorough briefing with Chris was had at the Lindrin Lodge in Moshi the day before setting out. We met the lead guides the following morning and they were good humoured which was to be the way they were throughout the next 8 days. We never realised that there was a team of 49 for our group of 12! So averaging 4 per person including a personal porter who carried all our gear to the next camps. I must say that for me these amazing men and women were the hidden stars of the show. Leaving after we’d begun our trek they’d be racing past us within minutes, sometimes running with our duffel bags and their own equipment balanced on their heads. The other porters soon followed with chairs, gas canisters, portable toilets,food;in fact everything we’d need. I can’t express my admiration for this amazing army of workers.
The guides with Follow Alice we’re always chatty, helpful and informative, often stopping to explain the history of the porters and the flora and fauna of each region.
What I found refreshing was the treatment of the porters by Follow Alice. It was apparent from witnessing some porters from low budget companies have their porters wear poor training shoes some with their toes protruding! We never saw this with FA porters yet we still donated boots and equipment which we felt was thoroughly deserved.
The guides ensured that all of us successfully climbed to Uhuru peak and if it wasn’t for their encouragement I doubt if i’d had made it. I can’t praise them highly enough.
I would always recommend Follow Alice not only for the fabulous service but the ethical way they treat their staff. The porters themselves said how much they like working for the company which was the highest praise!
The highlight for most of us was the Baranco Wall which was an exercise in climbing and a real adventure- we loved it!
If you want to challenge yourself with the hardest thing you’ll probably do then Follow Alice to Kilimanjaro!

Our two week trip through Uganda with Follow Alice was excellent. Thanks to Michael and the FA team for end to end leadership. They also set up an extension to the Maasai Mara. The lodges were good, and some were amazingly great. While some of the accommodations were…interesting, overall the difficulties were minor and did not affect the overall experience. THANK YOU Simon, our guide and new friend in Uganda. We had a fantastic mix of wildlife and local Ugandan life.

We were absolutely blown away with Simon, our guide in Uganda, and the Follow Alice Team. From the moment we booked, the team were communicating with us, making sure everything was planned and prepared for us. We had the most incredible week in Uganda, and were impressed with the quality of the food, accommodation and most of all our lovely guide Simon. A 10/10 experience which I’d recommend to anyone thinking about exploring the Pearl of Africa!

I book with follow Alice , Micheal handle my request a long my booking , very professional.
What he said during the communication, the Sherpa and the team delivered beyond expectations. The entire treck was a memorizing moment . They really care of us , small groupe always checking on us . Everything went smooth , all of us went to EBC .
Follow Alice is the agency you really want to have on ur side , when u are in the middle of nowhere. I never feel unsecured .
All the tea house were very well select .
10/10 no doubt , go for Follow Alice

The Everest hike was priceless, the work by Sonam, our main guide, and Dawa, my personal Sherpa, highlights. The hike needed one more day, though, to internalize the time “at the top” near the base camp ….

I did the Follow Alice Mount Everest Trek with the Helicopter Ride and couldn’t recommend this trip more! I felt at ease with their travel preparation- from airport logistics to gear rentals. During the trip I found comfort with the excellent and experienced local guides who made sure everything was taken care of- from water to lodging to O2 checks. They made sure we were safe, comfortable, and having a great time.

I would recommend this trip for anyone seeking an unforgettable journey!

I’ve hiked to mt Kilimanjaro and Everest Base camp with FollowAlice and both times the experience was really great! I really loved that everything was organised so well and the team was super hospitable and took care of us on all stages. I would definitely recommend to do these experiences with FollowAlice, you will not regret and have the best time!

I would highly recommend Follow Alice to anyone looking to have a well planned, organised trip! We used follow alice for our trip to Uganda for Gorilla trekking. Our guide Joseph Chiwa was so understanding, patient and welcoming! He was so knowledgeable and went above and beyond for us. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a trip in Uganda!

The guides, Florence, Ah-hee, and Trever were excellent and professional. Not only that but friendly and courteous. FLORENCE personally coached and encouraged me from stella point to uhuru peak and helped me achieve my lifetime dream. I will never forget that. I thank and credit them with helping me succeed in the greatest adventure of my lifetime. Also, the porters,cooks ,and the rest of the support team deserve a big thank you from me for being so helpful and understanding. Great Job , all of you.
