All the Chalets were amazing, although I only stayed in Chalet Bediere, I saw the others which all had their own unique selling points. The hikes were great with charming views of Chamonix and the mountains. It was a challenge on the warmer days but very rewarding!
As a first time solo traveller, I was nervous about travelling on my own. As soon as I got onto the coach I felt welcomed and really comfortable. Roma is an excellent tour leader who is very organised and kept all 52 of us safe and happy the whole week, always going above and beyond for us and asking if we are all ok. It's clear Expat Explore really care about their customers and your happiness is their number one priority. The whole group was lovely and welcoming and I had an amazing time. Big thank you to our tour leader Roma and driver Alessandro who was amazing in driving us around Europe safely. Will definitely book again!
Our trip, Aigues-Mortes to Avignon, was given special quality by the Italian Guide Michaela. She was outstanding really. Organised, funny, unflappable & professional. Her knowledge and care of her clients was first class-100%. Micheala was the Leader and the other members of the Team were also Italian. The Chef Joseph was excellent very well prepared food. Michaeli the Steward was excellent also, with his daily wine matches and pre dinner speeches. Nothing was too much trouble for Michaeli. We were lucky to have Caterina as an extra guide and she was also very good. Beyond their professional qualities, Michaela especially, became our friend for the trip and even made our downtime socialising fun. The impromptu musical evenings with Caterina on Guitar and passengers joining in with fun song made some our nights on the deck very memorable.
