Looking for Alpine Skills Course/Guide Recommendations

Hey folks!

My partner and I are looking at getting a guide to teach us some alpine skills this summer. Before I dig in and start doing my own research, I was wondering if people have recommendations for alpine guides based on personal experience?

From personal experience, Tim Neill is great.

If you go to the Italian Alps, you’ll save some money and eat better in the huts than you would in France or Swiss. I would recommend Alice Arata & Pietro Godani, they are fun, patient and very motivating teachers, I climb often with them as a friend.
