It was the trip of a lifetime and exceeded our expectations! Our tour guide Noddy and driver Mozzy were the best. They made sure we saw all the highlights everywhere we went. Before we entered a new city Noddy gave us history and insights which were appreciated, and Mozzy made sure we got there safely! I tell everyone this was my tasting tour of Europe, we experienced each place we went and now we can go back and explore the places we loved the most.
The daily trips were well organised and all had some excellent photo opportunities. There were some relatively tough sections (at least for a 71 yo guy with a well-controlled heart condition!) but the sense of achievement at reaching the 'summit' was well worth the effort. We had quite a variable group young to old and with variable levels of fitness but our guide, Paul, looked after us well. The group 'gelled' together amazingly well and we all contributed to our Group Whatsapp with photos and comments. What made it extra special was the cooking of Zohi and Ben who served up an amazing variety of meals, all of 4-star restaurant quality and alway served exactly on time. A great variety of dishes, I don't think we had the same dish twice. The food was one of the highlights of the trip. 'Chalet Chocolat' is about 15 minutes walk from Chamonix and full of shops and extra activities. A lovely town and we enjoyed the walk (and train!) in and out several times.
Thoroughly enjoyed. Tour Leader the very best - organized, friendly, pro-active, very knowledgeable, hard working, kind and great sense of humor. Felt very safe with the coach driver who was always pleasant and helpful. Money's worth and much more.
