We were looking for an active two week holiday that left on a specific date, was within budget and didn’t involve a long haul flight. We found the Tour de Mont Blanc trip on the Exodus website, loved the itinerary, saw there was availability and were booked on it within 24 hours of holiday searching! I would highly recommend this trip, despite some weather challenges we had the most wonderful time (summer hadn’t quite arrived yet so there was rain, hail and lots of snow to deal with). There were eight of us in the group and we were looked after by Nick, our excellent Group Leader. The scenery, when we saw it, was stunning. Fortunately we’ve signed up for similar holidays before so knew to come prepared for all extremes and we were so pleased we did. We were also really pleased to have booked to have a hotel room at the end of each day – this meant our clothes and day pack could dry out, plus we could have a lovely hot shower and sleep in a bed. All of the hotels were welcoming, comfortable and had all the facilities you needed after a long day of walking. The food was quite bread, cheese and chip based so we were missing fresh vegetables and fruit by the end of the two weeks.
Corsica mountains and villages Guide was excellent. Good company and provided fantastic walks. Hotel was ok but staff were excellent. They did their best for vegetarian food and it was different each night not just pasta and pizza. Would not recommend sharing room with someone you didn't know as the rooms were small. The group was lovely.
The tour was exactly as described. Very fast paced which is to be expected if you are going to see 7 countries in 2 weeks. We really enjoyed the included itinerary and the options we purchased. I had pre purchased tickets for things that weren't included and if you are going to do that most have to be purchased well in advance. My bucket list is now complete! .A big shout out to Noddy (tour leader) and Mozzie (driver). Would absolutely use Expat Tours again!!!
