Rowan Foley

"Rowan was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable, professional, friendly, funny and fun. He's light hearted and sincere and a true lover of nature/outdoors, so a kindred spirit. Both he and Natalie went over the top to include all, accommodate all and were truly selfless - never once even coming close to showing frustration or stress."

"Rowan was a fantastic lead guide, always one step ahead in his planning and orgainisation along the way, he made people feel welcome and comfortable at all times. He had a great way of sharing information about the areas we passed through, and usually with a twist of humour thrown in as well :)"

"Rowan went above and beyond our expectations as a trip leader and guide. He was always very thorough explaining each day's activities and what to expect. He also kept our group moving and on schedule. He always had an amazing attitude and was always available for any questions or other needs. He was very knowledgeable about each area and added much humor and enthusiasm to our trip!"

"Rowan was an extremely likeable guide. His work rate and attitude were exceptional, which was backed up by a very friendly and knowledgeable approach. He ensured that everyone was catered for and were allowed to sit back and relax after a day's hiking or cycling. An asset to your company!"
-- Matt Garwood (Germany) December 2009 Rimu

"Rowan was awesome. Very diplomatic, he often walked with me since I was always last. He would never go ahead, but patiently walked at my pace. But he was so speedy, we often didn't notice him washing the bus, cleaning the hiking boots or moving the luggage. He just made it happen with a smile."
-- Ann Davis (New Rochelle, New York, USA) November 2009 Rimu

"He has a wonderful personality and treated all of us equally well (very important). Liked his flexibility and he seemed to be unflapable - very mature for someone his age."
