  Great group, great hike. I joined VME after a friend suggested the group. Definitely a excellent experience. I look forward to joining more hikes in the future.

  A wonderful guided hike by the master hiking guru Dmitry of ‘Valencia Mountain Enthusiasts’ can be yours!! Offered at a great price and always so well organized. Dmitry is very skilled, safe and passionate about making a day out on the trails with him absolutely fabulous!
  The Valencia region never disappoints! And Dmitry KNOWS this region. We have also gone outside the Valencian region on special multi-day hiking adventures.
  When you do these hikes you will pack a lunch to enjoy on the trail. I … More love that Dmitry allows us this time to sit, reflect in nature and enjoy our lunch in a beautiful scenic spot!
  Dmitry is compassionate to the needs of different levels of physical ability. First, he lists a detailed explanation of each and every hike with route descriptions, length in km, elevation gain in meters and he rates the ‘Difficulty Level’ and the ‘Technical Level’ from easy to difficult so you know what lies ahead. Plus he shares many photos of the route and scenic areas.
  My husband and I have been hiking with Dmitry for over three years now. This review is long, long overdue. His hikes really are worthy of these accolades!
  We have joined Dmitry on many day hikes, on weekend overnight hiking trips and even a five day EPIC hiking adventure was experienced over New Years 2022! We celebrated the new year on the Island of Mallorca. When we do these get-away trips, Dmitry even seeks out and books our amazing accommodations so all you need to do is join and have fun! All I can say is 5-Star treatment was given by Dmitry and many high-fives for his organizing of this Mallorca event for 9 of us hiking fanatics!!
  No matter where you decide to join Dmitry, he will drive you in a safe new nine passenger van (day hikes from a designated meeting place in Valencia). He is fully insured and follows all safe Covid protocols and restrictions during our pandemic times. Masks are mandatory in the van and in confined spaces. Most of the day hikes are right here near Valencia. Maybe within a 45 minute to 90 minute drive so your day is not all travels.
  My husband and I always enjoy sharing our days hiking with others from all around Europe and beyond. Amazing to think how so many of us are from such different places and cultures, yet have one thing in common - the love of being in nature and exploring on foot.
  Book a hiking adventure with Dmitry and his ‘Valencia Mountain Enthusiasts’ and collect a lot of great memories. You will earn them with each and every step and smile all the way back to the trail head…and forever. These hikes really are that special, as is Dmitry!

  We had a wonderful hike with Dmitry as our guide. He is a very pleasant and trustworthy person, and we felt to be in very good hands. We had a wonderful hike and we look forward to coming back on another hike with him as soon as we can.

  I have been on several Hikes with Dmitry this summer , Each hike has been an amazing experience, I've met such lovely people and seen the most beautiful Views ⛰️ I look forward to many more hikes. If you are looking for a hiking group I would 100% recommend ☺️

  Very well organized and a relaxed atmosphere at all time. Dmitry is a nice guy and a profesional guide. If you want to check out the beautiful mountains of Valencia this is the way to choose.
  Although highly recommended are the excursions a bit further away. Spending some days with some happy hikers in a different area in the south or in the north is fantastic. Dmitrijs finds quite nice Hotels and takes care of finding nice spots to go to dinner. Perfect if one wants to spend some relaxed days! … More

  Did the Canaleta trail and it was amazing! Scenery and good workout in one. Really enjoyed it! Loved the climb up the mountain and the view. 100% recommend to do this one. Dmitry certainly knows the best spots. Definitely not my last hike with Valencia Mountain Enthusiasts 🙂

  I had three hikes with Dmitry now and all of them were amazing. Dmitry is a very good guide, a responsible leader. The tours are well described, organized and prepared.
  Absolutely great way to learn the surrounding of Valencia, enjoy the nature, meet people and have fun.

  I recently found the Valencia Mountain Enthusiasts group via meetup. I had enjoyed my recent hikes, friendly environment. Definitely will join them for future hikes.
• Lene Andersen ★★★★★ 2 years ago
  I often hike with Valencia Mountain Enthusiasts. The hikes are always well organized, you see a lot of different and beautiful nature, and you meet a lot of nice people. I also like that the hiking is in focus so you walk at a good pace and then make breaks now and then. Before and after the hike we stop at a bar so there’s a good balance between socializing and hiking. Absolutely recommendable!

  Escape Fallas? Yes please! Hiking in Murcia for a few days? Yes please!
  I'm a regular one day hiker with Dmitry and Valencia Mountain Enthusiasts but this was the first "trip away" I've taken part in. Have to say it lived up to my expectations. Mr D was, as always, well prepared / organised and good company. Hotel and restaurant choices were good. Nice variety of hikes but Pedro Lopez on the last day was certainly top of the bill.
  Back to the one dayers for now but looking forward … More to a week in the Picos / Galicia in August.

  I have been on three hikes so far with VME and enjoyed every one! Dmitry makes it easy to get out of the city and explore new areas around Valencia. Definitely recommend.

  Finally got the chance to join Dmitry on Cork Oak trail. The hike was simply amazing. Dmitry is well knowledgeable individual when it comes to organizing these types of hikes. He is super responsible and I am already looking forward to my next hike with him. Thank you, D. Cheers! -Lawrance

  Wonderful 4-day hike in Mallorca!! The group was fantastic, the hikes beautiful, the pace was very accessible yet perfectly challenging. Dmitry planned everything very well.

  I has a great time on our trip in Picos de Europa! The hotel was clean and had a great view and Dimitry did a fantastic job guiding us through the parks and trails. I will definitely go on another overnight or week long trip with him again 🙂
• Bertrand Leymarios ★★★★★ 2 years ago
  Dimitry is a great guide, really caring his group. He is organizing everything, but never pushing, neither pressing people to keep the schedule. It's a great pleasure to know him, and to go walk with his group! 🙂

  Rutas muy bien preparadas, muy profesional y gran conocedor de itinerarios increíbles. Siempre consigue un magnífico ambiente de grupo. Un imprescindible para conocer la naturaleza de la Comunidad Valenciana.
• Sonia Miravet Bergon ★★★★★ 2 years ago
  He podido conocer rincones preciosos de la comunidad Valenciana gracias a estas excursiones. Muy bien organizadas, con paisajes bonitos y momentos.divertidos. Me gustaria poder ir más a menudo. Es una ocasión perfecta para practicar inglés y conocer gente de otras culturas. También orgamizan hiking de fines de semanas recomendables. Espero vernos pronto en este otoño. Dimitri siempre busca alternativas a rutas para evitar lugares saturados. Es un guia muy profesional y muy amable.

  Thursday 12 Nov 2021 I joined #ValenciaMountainEnthusiasts on the Ruta del Agua, starting from Chelva (14 km). It was great! And the concept is nice and simple: they take you in a van (9 persons) to the starting point, you bring your own lunch and you just follow the guide. Some walking condition is required though. We were lucky to have wonderful weather. The next time that I come to Valencia I will do another trail. Thank you @DmitryBlatov !Op donderdag 12 nov 2021 wandelde ik een rondcircuit … More met #ValenciaMountainEnthusiasts over de Ruta del Agua (14 km), startpunt in Chelva. Prachtig! Het concept is prettig eenvoudig: men brengt je in een busje (9 personen) naar het beginpunt, je neemt je eigen lunch mee en je volgt de gids. Enige wandelconditie is wel een vereiste. We hadden ontzettend geluk met het mooie weer. De volgende keer als ik in Valencia ben ga ik een andere route doen. Hartelijk dank @DmitryBlatov !

  Cada caminata ha sido increíble, Dmitry nos ha llevado por las mejores rutas, hemos disfrutado de un bocadillo con bellos paisajes y en cada momento está pendiente del grupo. He disfrutado cada aventura por la Comunidad Valenciana y lo mejor de todo, he conocido personas maravillosas. Gracias Dmithy por tan grata experiencia!!!!! 😊
