MONT BLANC TO THE MATTERHORN This was a very challenging walk which at the conclusion prooved to be very rewarding. The torrain is rugged and combined with high temperatures makes it a lot tougher than the grade in the magazine emplies.
Had an absolute blast on this trip! Our tour guide Pete K went above and beyond to create such a memorable holiday. I was a nervous traveler being my first time to Europe, however Pete soon had me feeling confident and safe. The 18 day itinerary was packed with so many of my bucket list places and then some. There were so many laughs along the way and friendships made. I learnt so much about the history and culture of Europe. Definitely take your tour guides advice for the best foods and experiences to try. Some of my best food experiences came from finding places with no English on the menu. Silvian our driver was phenomenal, the way he handled the traffic in Paris I knew we were in good hands. He also let us stop for some amazing scenery pictures along the way. I recommend this trip for everyone and can't wait to come back for more expat tours.
We had a fabulous week in Chalet Chocolat, Chamonix. Tommy and Sol were friendly and welcoming Chalet hosts, the Chalet was well designed for our use and very comfortable. The walks were truly memorable - made so by our knowledgeable and encouraging guide Rob.It was an added bonus to be there for the UTMB - the Ultra Trailrunning Mont Blanc week. Rob made sure that we could watch the best bits and Chamonix was a real party place to be there then.
