I attempted to book with Ian Mcalpine, he seems not all entirely there and was very difficult to book with, received some strange emails which seemed as if he were a bit drunk (3 overnight, very passive-aggressive, without response). Overall you're better off spending more and getting someone professional who will provide you with sufficient information and you can be guaranteed will pay you back if unable to take you up.

Back in December 2014, I booked a 1-day guided tour with Ian McAlpine to climb Mt Taranaki. Unfortunately, the guide fell sick a few days before the trek and had to cancel. I did the climb anyway and had a fantastic time. The walk to the summit is quite hard and physical but very rewarding. I do recommend to take all the precautions that normally apply to mountaineering and, yes, I also recommend to use a guide. I can't really comment on Ian McAlpine as a guide as he wasn't there on the day. I would say, however, that my experience with him is quite bad. He cancelled the trip, probably for good reasons but only informed me a couple of days before the trek. That was a problem for me as I was coming from overseas and it was too late to change my travel arrangements. The Ian failed to find another guide to accompany me on the day... this is why I went on my own. And now, more than 3 months after, he still has not refunded the deposit I paid for the booking. He would not reply to my emails nor return my calls.
Ian may be a good guide if we judge from reviews posted on his website but be careful with your money.

We climbed Taranaki in Feb and although the hike up can be done unguided we thoroughly enjoyed Ian's guidance, company and conversation. He know's the mountain better than anyone and his route up was different from the one you would take if you went unguided. The difference was very evident when we descended the normal route. One word...Scree....and lots of it. Ian is an incredibly fit 'older guy', and his passion and interesting stories throughout day made for a very enjoyable climb and we would highly recommend it.
