Jim Duncan2024-12-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been on several trips all over Europe but this was by far the best experience I have had so far. I have never known anyone so determined as Nick and Allan to get you in the air even if it means a two hour drive to the coast. My week was a coaching week and the radio was quiet unless good advice or encouragement not to give up was being given. The accommodation was first class and evenings in the town are now great memories. I can’t wait to get back to what now feels like a new group of friends. Thanks Nick🙏🏾 Nigel Bailey Bailey Estates2024-12-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having not long qualified CP with single digit hours of flying, this was the perfect next step for me.. It felt like I was flying with a group of friends rather than guides.. Nick and Alan were consummate professionals but so relaxed and easy going.. The numerous times I dropped my wing on launch or tangled my lines were only met with encouragement and light-hearted banter amongst the group... It can be daunting as a newbie trying to ground handle and launch a wing on a new site with 30-40 Gliders around you but by the end of the week, I had the confidence and new skills to try and then try again... A fabulous week with a great group of fellow paragliders.. I have experienced other coaches within the area, but hands down Paragliding Guide are my go-to Company.

After many years soaring back and forth on hills in the UK a few hours with Nick I was off on my first short XC Will Gough2024-10-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just finished a great week with Nick, Alan and James at Paragliding Guide. Just what the doctor ordered; enthusiasm from the team, fantastic weather forecasting, great flying and good fun. Importantly for me, I developed skills and knowledge on this trip to work towards my pilot rating. I got everything I wanted from my week. Just wish I was there for another week. Will be back.
