The Tour was fantastic & it wasn't just the places & countries we visited that made it such a great experience it was our tour leader ""Gustavo"" & driver ""Gareth""... Seriously two of the nicest people & that can make all the difference on a trip like this. Gustavo explained everything to the smallest detail but did it in a way that was fun & not over bearing! He was funny, kind & considerate all excellent attributes to have but especially as a ""Tour"" leader. Gareth just an all round nice guy, and an awesome driver, & that's coming from a fairly nervous passenger I felt safe & in very good hands... especially when in the ""Swiss Alps"". Thanks to you both for taking such good care of us on this trip of a lifetime, I wish them both all the very best in life.
Mont Blanc Circuit 12th - 26th July A fantastic experience from start to finish. Long days (8.30am to 5pm) with plenty of breaks, magnificent scenery and great company. Plenty of ascents and descents along the way, forest trails and rocky paths. If you are used to walking in the Scottish / English / Welsh hills then this trip shouldn't bother you. We had a mixture of participants of differing ages but all were able to keep up easily. The weather was pretty kind to us and we only had a couple of days rain. You won't regret doing this trip and it will inspire you to do more.
This was a great trip with an excellent guide [Graham] and splendid cook/driver and logistics man [Lewis].Wonderful views of the Massif; beautiful Alpine meadows and flowers; interesting historic villages; challenging [for a 73 year old!] ups and downs, but on a well-used track, with well judged stops for rests, photos and coffee with myrtle tarts at the many refuges. It was a great group [all strangers to me before, but no longer!].Excellent, spacious tents, and the tenting option made for greater camaraderie.
