A magical and moving tree walk - I had the pleasure of joining Matt on a guided tree walk, and it was truly a special and moving experience. His knowledge of trees, their adaptations, and the local landscape is awesome, but what makes the experience unforgettable is the way he shares it -with poetry, music, and a deep reverence for nature. The song he played under the linden tree was particularly magical and stayed with me long after the walk ended. I left feeling grateful and inspired. Thank you Matt!

A definite yes! - Matt did a fabulous job leading us on a walk to the various sites in the tour and explaining the history of the sites as well as the cultural meaning of the trees which we stopped and explored as well. It was well paced, interesting and well worth the time and money.

A true Avalon experience. - The tour with Matt is one of those absolutely magical things that characterize Avalon. It’s not traditional tourism, but something between a pilgrimage and a mystical experience. Matt is brilliant: a deep connoisseur of the trees and the history of Avalon, as well as a very sensitive artist. This experience touched me profoundly, and I’m very grateful to Matt for it. Don’t miss it! It was one of the highlights of my trip. Thank you, Matt :)

Wonderful, magical experience in Avalon - Walking with the Trees with Matt was a deeply grounding and soul-nourishing experience. There’s something about the way he holds space and shares his love for nature with reverence, humility, and a quiet wisdom that allowed us to truly slow down and enjoy the wonder of the trees. We loved his beautiful poetry and songs too. Would highly recommend this tour.

Informative, Interesting & Engaging! - Loved our To The Trees guided walk. Matt was very knowledgeable and engaging. The walk was not just the trees it was also about the history of the area. Highly recommend doing the tour at the beginning of your visit as he gave us some great tips on what to visit after the tour, which was an added bonus! Matt was also very flexible with scheduling too!
