Highlites of Provence Hiking tour--Southern France I've traveled extensively, mostly NOT by way of a booked tour. However, this was undoubtedly a fabulous experience and would do it again. Meeting people from across the globe and bonding with them as if we were mates for years. All within a weeks time! Another positive about a booked tour, if you know your exact destination, and/or type of activities you prefer then the rest is done for you! The trip details were pretty true to the write up, including our lovely hotel...great location, clean hotel, delicious breakfasts & friendly staff.
Hopefully you are lucky enough to stay at chalet chocolat with Ben and Zohi, nothing was too difficult and the food was exceptional. Our guide Sean was helpful and catered to everyone’s need and ability, allowing me to run ahead and made sure I knew where I was going. Everything was perfect and can’t rate this trip high enough.
I was so scared to go on this tour to begin with, 22 and solo booking I was nervous about making friends. When I saw how diverse the bus was, I was still nervous but I totally had nothing to worry about! After the first day everyone relaxed and started to talk and by the end everyone had really bonded and was having so much fun together. The whole trip was soo smooth with timings and getting from place to place, it was awesome having first priorities on the excursions and included activities too. Steve and Minty were amazing and really made the trip memorable. I was so impressed at how much we did in such a short amount of time, and the great value for money too! I had put down I was happy to share a room with a fellow traveller for the trip but I was very lucky and was given a room all to myself throughout the whole trip which was a very welcome bonus! I cant gush enough at how much I loved this trip, it really blew me away. The fact that it was people from all over the world and all age groups was actually really cool, and although it wouldve been cool to have a few younger solo travellers to talk to, it definately didnt make the experience any less amazing that there wasnt, because the people I did meet were all so lovely! If anyone is looking to book this trip.. I say definately go for it!!
