Our hiking clients get special treatment.

Our hiking program is based on a 4-step reservation verification process 1.Email. 2. Written confirmation contract. 3. A phone call to talk to the lodge manager. Then step-4. literally the day before you arrive we are contacting the hotel make sure they are ready for you and that there are no issues between the lodge you were staying in today and the new location.

We can't solve problems on the trail if we don't have your International mobile number.

Having a mobile phone number that works in all the countries you are going to visit just makes sense. If your family is trying to reach you or if one of your contact points on the along the way need updating: Russell Tours, your driver, baggage transfer or Hotel - it is just good logic to spend $50 and have that capability.

These are short term contracts, from buying a 30 day international mobile plan from your current US provider or a SIM card once you hit your hotel in France (better deal) or at the Geneva airport.

Make sure you give your new mobile number to your hike coordinator (Russell Tours).
