What Our Guests Say
Dannette - Young, Australia: Will and his crew create an amazing experience. They are so chilled and yet so organised. The days and meals were all beautifully planned, accommodation was well chosen and the rides and other activities were awesome! Such a beautiful trip- we'd definitely travel with Will again!
Scott - Sydney, Australia: I had the opportunity to attend a tour of the recent World Cup coordinated by Higher Ground Travel and Events. I can't speak highly enough of the of care and attention to detail Will put into ensuring that our travel, accommodation and entertainment met the highest of standards. He went out of his way to personalize the tour with bespoke walking tours, gourmet food and money can't buy experiences. The highlight was a private tour of the Frida Kahlo museum in Mexico City with a catered lunch in the garden. I have no idea how he managed to get that organized!!! I would highly recommend Will for any corporate travel or group travel.
Richard - Melbourne, Australia: Have worked with Will for 8 years now on several European cycling trips. His attention to detail in taking us to Italy, Spain and from Budapest to Berlin was unmatched. Custom designed trips with outstanding riding, support, meals and accommodation. Highly recommend Higher Ground for anyone need advice and guidance on cycling trips, tours or general travel requirements
Andrew - London, England: A really excellent experience on our trip to Siena - calm competent professionalism and flexibility from all staff - careful planning, superb support in terms of cycles, support vehicles, and mechanical assistance meant everyone could relax and enjoy the cycling, culture and fantastic food. Top marks from us.
