I had two great days climbing with Mon d'Aventura. During the first day, our guide Francesco took me with my two kids (11 and 14) to do some climbing near Alcúdia. Francesco woke up early to scout the location before we got there and picked a perfect spot for us. It was shady until about noon, and the climbing grades were appropriate for the kids. Francesco is an experienced climber and route-setter, but understood the mission: make an enjoyable day for the kids. When my son was getting bored with climbing, Francesco suggested a scramble up to to the peak for the views. He was safety-oriented, but also helped the kids push their boundaries and improve their skills. My daughter says he was "patient, encouraging, funny, and nice. He seemed like a good person who really wanted us to have a good time climbing."
During the second day, it was just me and Juan. He took me to sport climb on some slabby routes near Caimari. He was great in finding routes that were fun but still challenging. At the beginning of the day, he did a great job asking questions about what I was looking for. He was generous, friendly, and knowledgeable. Just like Francesco, he took safety seriously, but was also a teacher who wanted me to learn new things and push myself.
The Mon d'Aventura office was incredibly responsive over WhatsApp and helped me make plans and navigate through a few changes prior to meeting up.
I 100% recommend Mon d'Aventura and these guides.
