Best trip I've ever been on! Everything was organized absolutely perfectly from start to finish, every member of the trip was someone cool and unique, and by the end it was one of the best experiences of my life with great people!

Well organised and looked after throughout by Johnny and the local guide he has worked with before - Misha. Endless amounts of laughter from so many cool epic stories shared from their adventures. Truly wonderful people! A good group of supportive likeminded people and bonus to have made a very lovely friend out of it.

Pakistan & Xinjiang were absolutely breathtaking, and this trip took us through some incredible landscapes; we met so many friendly Pakistanis from different regions and Uyghurs in Xinjiang. We were treated like celebrities and came across only a handful of travelers, which is mostly what we seek with Johny and Josh's trip: off the beaten path. Johny is a fantastic leader who is able to get everyone is a great go mode and full of humor. Our accommodations were always comfortable, and we ate at a variety of great places and mingled with locals. Our local guides in both countries were friendly, especially Saqib in Pakistan; he went above and beyond to take care of us. The charity aspect of this trip fell short of my expectations. The local partners arranged the charity part of the trip, and it felt like performative charity, which could totally be the norm there, but it wasn't what I expected. The level of engagement during the Uganda trip in 2022 was incredible, so the bar was high. I still enjoyed this trip overall, fun adventures, and meeting up with old friends and making new ones. Johny & Josh's trips attract a certain crowd... adventurous ones that you want to go on trips with again and again. The group camaraderie is always the highlight.

It's always a ton of fun and excitement and thrill traveling with Johny and his buddy Josh. The destinations are always appealing but most of all, it's the friends we make on these trips. A lot of kindred spirits, and it's always a delight to reconnect with old friends on new adventures. Johny & Josh are engaging and make everyone feel like good old friends. The Golden Eagle Festival was really a unique experience that felt intimate and a good blend of foreign visitors and locals. We ate well and had action-packed adventures and cultural experiences every day. : )

Johnny is a fantastic Leader, positive, charismatic, absolutely full of delight and adventure. Our teams mates were strong and engaging; the perfect combination of a trek and. climb into the remote highlands of Papua New Guinea! The arrangements for transportations and bookings were carefree and seamless. Food and accommodations in the highlands were unique and cozy; in PortMoresby they were Safe and elegant. Every aspect of this adventure at the very least exceeded my expectations. I would recommend Johnny Ward and would gladly travel on one of this adventures in the future.
