Yes, it was fast paced but it was just a Taster. Our group was amazing and Roma was extraordinary, she was knowledgeable and funny and very friendly. Alessandro was an amazing driver! He received tons of applause multiple times with his maneuvering. The excursions were great I enjoyed all of them except the fondue. We didn't do the fondue. I would recommend this tour to anyone who only has a week but wants to see a lot.
Amazing week at Chalet Chocolat This was one of the best organised tour holidays I've ever been on. We had an exceptional week of hiking, our tour guide Tom was awesome - he had fantastic local knowledge, kept us clear of the big tour groups, showed us all the hidden gems and kept us entertained with his stories. The hiking was very civilised and reasonable, should be no problem if you're in decent physical fitness. Great introduction to the beautiful Mont Blanc area. The weather in July was perfect - we were lucky to not get even one day of rain or bad weather. Staying at Chalet Chocolat was also great - our chalet hosts Zohi and Ben looked after us so well; amazing breakfasts, buffet pack-your-own lunch, fresh baked cakes every day and a three course meal - the food was really well done, dietary requirements catered for. Couldn't ask for more - would definitely recommend this trip to anyone!
Hit the spot for group walking pleasure. As a solo traveller and walker it always makes a wonderful change to quit the usual track of UK holidaying and go abroad to join a group.Walking on ones own is all very well but I do get that extra motivation by being in a crowd with a good leader.There is opportunity to socialise or be on ones own; however the walks were so good on this holiday that any omission would be detrimental to the pleasure of the entire holiday.Going to Greoux les Bains with the tour operator was particularly pleasurable and worthwhile - for walking, culture and company. This is the first time I've been with the operator and it will not be the last.
