I have been home a few days, and looking through my many photos am still amazed that I was able to experience all those countries on the EC Tour. It is because the itinerary is so well organized and planned to allow a taste of the most desirable locations possible. All of the included and optional offerings were wonderful and we enjoyed excellent meals and excursions. But in order to have such an abundance of experiences packed into two weeks, you must be in good physical shape and able to walk 4 to 6 miles daily, climb many stairs and inclines and carry your suitcases a distance and even up stairs. We ate fast meals, lined up for the toilets and bought snacks in record time at the comfort stops on the long drives, and had many late nights and early mornings. Build up your immune system and wear a mask as the inevitable bugs will spread through the coach. Most of the hotels were acceptable with the exception of Paris where the room was tiny and the bathroom deplorable. Some hotels were really nice, especially the AlpineRose in Switzerland. The trip to the Top of the World is an unforgettable experience. I can't imagine that we could have had a better tour guide than Matt. He kept us on time and the days ran smoothly because of his constant care. His knowledge of the history of each place was phenominal, and he has the gift of story telling. A bonus was he is tall and we could keep his red hat in sight as we navigated crowded, twisted streets. Our driver, Victor, was so friendly and cheerful and worked hard taking care of the coach and us. His driving skills are amazing. We were fortunate to travel with a fun group of Aussies who were cheerful and kind. My brain is on overload as I look back and appreciate this trip of a lifetime. I am so glad we discovered ExPat Travel.

I loved my self-guided bike trip through Provence. The route was well described and mapped on the app and took me on scenic, mostly country, roads and trails. "Drop out" of GPS only occurred occasionally but had no problem staying on route. One trail (indicated on the app) between the road that goes off to Eygalieres and road to St Remy had much gravel but there was a parallel trail that I was able to use. Recommended to bring battery pack to recharge phone during the day and recharge that battery every night. The hotels were very nice, comfortable; the hotel at Les Baux-de-Provence was the best with views over the valley and the only road to which I needed the turbo mode on my ebike. Good idea to charge the ebike battery every night. Food provided was very good. The two dinner meals at Barbetane were catered. Shops with fresh produce located in every town, including delicious, vine-ripened Heirloom tomatoes. The 3 days I spent in Montepellier and 1 day in Lyon before and after the bike tour would have been better spent mostly in Lyon. A day before and after the bike tour in Avignon was just right.
