Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We booked Life Changing Activities for the Team Challenge for my daughter’s Hen Party.
What a laugh we had !!
All the challenges were set up around our accommodation and with 3 instructors taking 3 teams of girls.
Some challenges were logical, some a bit more of a challenge but so funny and light hearted
The hen party were really impressed with the challenges and our instructors were excellent and got into the fun with us.
I received some really good pictures of the day from Nathan which was a great bonus for us to keep
Well done Nathan xx

Had a fantastic day abseiling and gorge walking with Collin and Tom in Brecon Beacon. Tom was a brilliant instructor and made sure we had lots of fun.

I came across Life Changing Activities online, when searching for an activity for our Scouts to take part in during our Summer Camp in Hoarwithy. I approached Michael to enquire about the Gorge walking & Abseiling activity he has on offer, and from start, to finish the service was second to none.
Michael was friendly, and informative and listened to our requirements as we were a large group of 48. He provided us with various options on where we could go gorge walking, and which would best suit our needs and we chose Gilwern.
The scouts absolutely loved it, one of, if not the highlight of the camp. The instructors throughout the day were great with the kids. They showed great encouragement, especially to those that were nervous about taking part and made sure they felt safe and reassured when pushing themselves out of their comfort zone, and they all achieved something they won’t forget in a lifetime.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Michael and the team to anyone looking to take part in gorge walking & abseiling. If we’re in the area again, we would look at what other activities Michael has available.

Thank you Michael and your team for a fantastic day on Saturday, raft building! We had a fabulous time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I think we learnt an awful lot about each other at the same time!
I would definitely like to come back and try another activity with you guys! Maybe gorge walking?
Thanks once again

When can we do it again?! Brilliant fun abseiling and gorge walking in Gilwern. We were a group of 8 running buddies on a girls adventure weekend, and these activities were challenging to each of us in different ways but all totally achievable. Our guide was Colin and he was just amazing, offering encouragement and guidance and expertly leading us through. We felt totally safe, even if a little daunted at times and we all loved it! We were buzzing afterwards, such a sense of accomplishment. Booking was easy, great communication from Michael via email. We would be giving it another go in an instant if we were more local!

Hi Liz and thanks for the wonderful review. I have passed it on to Colin who is always keen for everyone to have a good time especially those who struggle with heights etc. so he will be really pleased.

Had a brilliant day abseiling and gorge walking with my family for my mums birthday. Michael was an absolute legend throughout, very encouraging and lead an amazing day for the whole family. We were gushing over the experience the whole drive home. Have already suggested a trip with some friends over the summer!

Organised an abseiling and gorge walking experience as a surprise for my wife’s 60th birthday. A fantastic time was had by all. Michael was brilliant, a very knowledgeable guide who provided lots of encouragement. He managed to persuade my wife, with a real fear of heights, to abseil off an 80ft viaduct, not just once, but twice! Great day out and truly memorable. Excellent value for money. Would throughly recommend Life Changing Activities to friends and others.

A great day paddling a canoe down the river Wye with a few games along the way. So much fun to ride the rapids. Great instruction from Michael and Chris to keep you on track and safe. We're an older group who come every year to experience an adventure. Cannot recommend this company enough.

Hi Tina, thanks for the great review, it was lovely to see you again. Chris and I really enjoyed the canoeing and keeping you all upright through Symonds Yat rapids was the highlight of our session.

The fast water at Symons Yat is always fun. Michael and his able assistant Chris made the day a thoroughly enjoyable experience . This was our tenth consecutive year with LCA and each one has been as good as the first experience. Doesn't get much better than this.

Hi,
I have two girls aged 7 and 5 years. The 5 yr old tends to be overly scared of anything remotely dangerous. Would you say they are too young to enjoy this experience?

Hi, if either of your girls is nervous then I would wait for a few more years and gradually get them used to scary but safe situations. It is not worth scaring you child by introducing gorge walking at too early an age. Regards Michael
