We had a wonderful time on the Camino walk from Conques to Cahors. The accomodation organised by UTracks was clean and comfortable, with lovely breakfasts and dinners when provided. Our luggage was transported in a timely manner to each location. One criticism that impacted on our walk was that we found the maps and distances provided to be inaccurate at times - one day ended up being almost 30km rather than the suggested 18km! Some of the accommodation was difficult to find as well. A review of distances and clearer maps and directions is needed. Overall, a memorable experience.
Excellent highs on the Tour du Mont Blanc This was our first experience of a trip by this tour company and we were not disappointed. The organisation throughout was excellent, the locations were beautiful and the walking (while tough) was awe inspiring. Before the trip we questioned our ability to complete this undertaking, however the walking was well organised and the leader worked hard to keep the group together and we never felt under pressure to walk faster, or felt that the walking was turning into a route march.
It's true what they say - the Tour du Mont Blanc is one of the world's great hikes! We had brilliant weather in late September, an awesome tour guide in Philippe, a lovely bunch of fellow hikers, and wonderful support from the Sydney team in the lead up to the trip. Very highly recommend!
