Europe Trip Leader
Tony Dewes
Tony Dewes was born and brought up in Yorkshire, England, and spent more than 20 years as a college and university lecturer before becoming an outdoor instructor. He has traveled extensively in Asia, Europe, and Central and Southern America, and been a guide since 2002. “I love taking people to wild and remote places, and creating those special memories for people to treasure.” When not leading trips, Tony loves to cook, particularly cuisine from the Indian subcontinent, and play his ukulele. He lives in Cumbria, where he has dedicated many years of service to his local mountain rescue team and has been awarded both the Queens Diamond Jubilee Medal and the Queens Award for Voluntary Service for his work in training mountain rescue personnel.

Client Testimonials
Tony was a major asset. Unflagging good humor, seemingly boundless energy, knows the area like the back of his hand, AND he plays the ukulele.

Tony is a priceless gem. He truly loves what he is doing is always up, regardless of weather and circumstance. He has superb knowledge of the areas we hiked in, and also of a more general nature.
