An Amazing Trip From Start To Finish I knew from the moment I arrived in Chamonix and saw the mountains and its glaciers that I had found the right adventure. Here was a chance to do one of the most acclaimed walks and the trip lived up to its billing. One can read about the walk and its vistas but nothing really prepares you for actually being part of it. I enjoyed the challenge of the walk, my fellow travelers and the quality of the lodging (OK, maybe not walking down the hall to the w/c in the middle of the night at our auberge stays--but a heck of a lot better than tenting). I enjoyed the evening meals and the variety of the cuisine. Overall the food was good and the huts offered a nice supplement to our sandwich lunch fare. The huts were a new experience and each one was unique from the food offered, to the hot chocolate to the w/c's.
The tour was well-organized and efficiently managed. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and the driver was excellent. I would give it five stars except that the tour guide publicly reprimanded my traveling companion and me for arriving several minutes late at the beginning of the trip, and the driver was generally gruff and unfriendly during the entire tour. This cast a bit of a pall over the whole trip, which is a shame, because other than that it was a great experience. I couldn't have imagined a more effective way of seeing so many countries in such a short time.
I am completely happy with the company! Extremely professional!!! What made our tour so exciting and wonderful was our tour guide Pedro! He is informative, humorous, professional, caring and Kind. He took such good care of us!! Much like a mother would care fore her children. He would walk the coach and talk to each and every one of us making sure that we had everything needed. Pedro made each of us feel totally special!!! I love to travel and Pedro made this one of the best experiences for me and my daughter. We truly had fun!! We will never forget Pedro and we thank him far his kindness!!!! I will definitely plan more adventures with the tour operator.
