Professional, caring and fun to work with, my highest recommendation.
4elements took over all the internal and external organisation, facilitated expertly in both English and German and Ceri was always able to solve any organisational or logistical problems we encountered.

Excellent!
Ceri is extremely knowledgeable in all areas of the Award – having been an Award participant and leader. She is very organized in her preparation, both for the students and the teachers/adults involved. She ensured we were all comfortable and confident in our roles and was open to discuss feedback and concerns. The children were inspired and dedicated to the Award under 4elements.

A perfect weekend!
Service, accommodation and food were excellent. You went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met - a perfect weekend!

I will keep coming back
It's wonderful to leave the organisation in the hands of Ceri. She always finds very knowledgeable and friendly people to work with and thinks of the little details that make the event really special: a home baked cake or a keepsake notebook !! I will keep coming back ;-)

I feel a much higher level of confidence
I have two favorite parts of Trail Fit Club. The first is meeting a fun group of women who are interesting, caring and encouraging of one another. The second favorite part of TFC was the sense of accomplishment at the end of each hike.

Amazing attitude in regards of customer service
When I enrolled for my first hut to hut tour I was concerned about my condition, about my lack of experience and about having to carry my luggage by myself. It was such a nice experience that I join Ceri's activities wherever possible now. I like the positive and supporting way of Ceri's interactions, how she is integrating everybody and how she is encouraging a real team experience.

Absolute magic!
Exploring the EU Alps, from Bavaria to Austria, Italy, and Switzerland, during all four seasons, with 4Elements and the phenomenal guide, Ceri, has nourished my soul every time. Ceri’s organizational skills rock! She brings something unique to her excursions from organization to welcoming all warmly, to a witty sense of humor and community-building. I show up at the meeting point, and the rest is taken care of. It is an incredible experience! I highly recommend ANY trek with Ceri.Nora SuarezVisual Artist & Designer, Trek Participant
