Recommendations for Finale Ligure Guiding Companies

Going to Finale for the first time with some friends and family at the end of April.ย 

Done some research into private guiding for us, but a bit bamboozled about which company to go for and which tours would be best.ย 

Interested in more backcountry tours on quieter less gnarly trails (S1/S2 grade, although not adverse to some more difficult stuff) if there is such a thing?

Got to have shuttle included as part of the guiding, as some don't appear to have this included.ย 

Any recommendations welcome

We have used Mario at Trails Adventure for the last few years and will be using him again for our two trips this year.

He is local, very knowledgeable, professional and will tailor rides to suit you.

I can highly recommend Louise Paulin and her Just Ride Finale team. Haven't been to Finale for years but she is a great rider and guide plus a really nice person.

I've only been to Finale once but we used Francesco Gozio from Motive and he was brilliant. He helped tune our suspension setup and was the perfect guide.
My mate went back a couple of years later and got Francesco to guide him and his young lad for a day too and he was able to adapt the routes to suit....
