This Saturday Mario and I were lucky enough to do a via ferrata with Harry and we can only say that it was an incredible experience. From the first minute he gave us confidence and security. The entire route was perfectly organized and at each section he explained in detail what we were going to do, how to face each step, and made us enjoy the activity with total peace of mind. It is clear that Harry is a true mountain lover, and he manages to pass that passion on to those who accompany him. He not only guides you, but he makes you feel and experience the mountain in a very special way. Furthermore, upon finishing, we shared a meal with him and the conversation was the perfect finishing touch to an unforgettable day. His approachability, experience, and professionalism were even more evident, making the experience much more than a simple sporting activity. Without a doubt, it is an experience that we recommend 100%, whether to do as a couple, with friends, or with family. If you are thinking about starting a via ferrata or simply want to enjoy an adventure with an exceptional guide, Harry is the right person. We will repeat without a doubt!

The best way to discover a via ferrata

Something you should absolutely try even if you don’t think you can with Harry
Harry was amazing. Took great pictures, was super chill and easy to talk to, never had to worry about if you were gonna say or do the wrong thing and extremely patient. The experience was absolutely fantastic and he adds extra things if there’s enough time and then of course the picnic at the end is awesome. It’s clearly he loves what he does and wants everyone else to love their experience just as much. Go with Harry you can’t lose.!!! Eve😊

An unforgettable experience
From start to finish Marydee and Harry have been very nice. We did the John Hogbin ferrata track in Zafarraya with Harry, who was telling us curiosities of it, also clear, to give us the proper indications of safety and how to get around the different points of the route. He is a person with a total vocation in his work. Then at the picnic besides being super-rich what one of her daughters prepared, we had a very close and welcoming time. We will definitely repeat!!!! We loved the experience

An unforgettable family experience! We were lucky enough to experience several adventures with this Enterprise, including the Caminito del Rey, the Via Ferrata de Zafarraya and canyoning on the Río Verde. Despite not being sportsmen, everything was perfectly adapted to enjoy as a family. Our guide, Harry, was exceptional: very patient, with great experience and always attentive that we were all safe and enjoying ourselves to the fullest. Definitely one of the best family experiences we have ever had. We'll repeat!

It’s an incredible experience, they are activities to do as a family, we did: King’s walk, Via ferrata Zafarraya and green river canyoning; all three exceeded our expectations. They are activities made by professionals, with a lot of security and organized to enjoy and have fun, the incredible landscapes. I'm sure we'll repeat. Thank you Harry, Mary and the entire Dimtrap team for organizing this experience, taking care of every detail so we were always at ease. Super recommended, we have a nice memory.
