Phenomenal TMB experience We couldn't have asked for a better guide, group, campsite support or weather report!! An amazing 2 weeks spent circumnavigating Mont Blanc with vista after vista of stunning scenery; brilliant and challenging walking through valleys and up and over cols (minus Col de Tricot in the heat - bleurgh!); fabulous camping and camaraderie; a truly awe-inspiring day watching the UTMB; and too many superb cake stops to mention en-route. Jenny and Clare did a top-notch job in delivering our trip and we all enjoyed the journey due to their care, diligence and smiles. Simply unforgettable
Our Mont Blanc highlights trip exceeded our expectations. The walking was at a perfect level for us as fit 60+ yr olds who climb hills weekly. We were with a wonderful, friendly group with similar abilities and a god guide, Frank. Our hosts, Sarah & Rich were wonderful, warm and well organised and cooked us superb meals and made my birthday there a special occasion. Their meals and afternoon cakes were an unexpected' icing on the cake' aspect of the trip. The weather was perfect and the walks varied and spectacular. We loved reaching a summit and sitting on rocks or in meadows to soak up the view and fresh mountain air. There is time to explore Chamonix and on our free day we took the train into Switzerland and visited Emosson Dam via a steep funicular. A great day. We would highly recommend this trip.
From the Chateaux in the Loire Valley to the fascinating Bayeux Tapestry in Normandy, & wine tasting in Burgundy, this is the ideal tour to see France. The highlights for me were the Tapestry & Mont St Michel. It was quite hot in July, as Europe was experiencing their "canicule" (heatwave) & also being the high season, there were people everywhere. But overall, it was a historical & fun tour.
