In July I walked the Mont Blanc Highlights tour. For anyone short of time or concerned about doing the full circuit this a great tour. You get to see the best of the best and are based on Chamonix. I think it is great to come back to the same base each night . We had a delightful chalet right in Chamonix town, with the excellent hosts and chefs. Sarah and Rich looked after us, cooked a delicious three course meal every evening, baked wonderful afternon tea each day on our return and took us to the beginning of your walk daily.
I can't talk highly enough of the general organisation, Sarah and Rich and the professionalism and knowledge of our guides, Rupert and Jen. I highly recommend Exodus Travels and will use them again.
My sister and I had an absolutely fantastic week.
The chalet was located right in the middle of Chamonix and the cooking provided by Sarah and Rich was to die for. The hot tub in the garden at the end of the day with stunning mountain views was great too. The tea and cake around 4 o'clock at the end of a day's walking was always something to look forward to!
We had really good walking with our guide Jenny who was really first class. The scenery is truly amazing and the walk in Italy for a day will live with me for a long time to come. We saw glaciers and lakes, walked down rickety ladders and over little himalayan like bridges.
I have been wanting to do this week's walking for nearly 10 year and it exceeded my expectations
Thanks

The itinerary of the tour, visiting Paris, Pont du Gard, Barcelona, Rome and the Vatican was what sold me. I never really looked closely at the itinerary since what I wanted to visit was already included but visiting Arles, Firenze and Menton were also amazing inclusions to the itinerary. Not all the hotels are good but with the cost I paid, it is more than enough. Our Tour Leader, Perci is also a straightforward guy, no drama and patient. The coach was also kept clean and our driver was really good. Felt safe all times.
