Challenging but rewarding This was only our second walking holiday after doing the Inca trail the year before so we are fsirly new to walking holidays. Found the first day fairly difficult but soon got into the swing of it and loved it!! The hardest part was walking with the pack on your back so pack light! However, being able to do the circuit point to point, experiencing a range of accommodation with such stunning views made this so worth while.
I did the EC tour and our tour leader was Antonio And Ishti. These guys rock and are experts with what they do. I am so thankful for the amount of effort they have made to make sure every cent we paid was worth it. Antonio always makes an extra mile to make sure his clients are safe and happy. Ishti was very professional and made sure everyone is always safe. I can't thank them enough for making our trip so memorable. It is my first time to go on a group tour and I am worried Antonio set the bar so high it won't be as fun if I was going to book another tour. All I can say is thank you for making our dream come true.
The absolute highlighs of this tour were the free day in Paris and Switzerland. The trip only has 2 free days, i really think you need one more as the 2 free days happen earlier on in the trip and for the remainder, its a bit too much on the bus. I would suggest skipping the Rhine Valley and maybe having a day in Amsterdam to see the Anne Frank museum. There is so much more to do in Amsterdam other than 1.5 hours of the red light district. My tour leader (Richard) and Gary the driver were absolute legends and really made the trip. It would be great if we could pay online for the activities, it was hard to keep the cash on you for the optionals Id also really like it if you gave more options for the Switzerland with discounts. We ended up going to Grindelwald and doing the First with 2 activities
