The perfect combination of everything How's that for a title, and when in life can you say that about anything? But yes, indeed, this trip was the perfect combination of everything. We had brilliant scenery (no credit to Exodus for that); wonderful walks, instruction, and guidance (courtesy of John B); a mix of good and bad weather (John called it "mountain weather," and others would say that there's no just thing as "bad" weather, just the wrong clothing); and memorable stays, meals, and snacks at our campsites (courtesy of Emily S). Tanya in our group was clever enough to do her research and pick our departure based on past reviews which mentioned John, while it was just dumb luck for me. We were fortunate to also have Emily, who joined Exodus this season and did her job like a pro. I read the positive reviews before I booked the trip and can vouch that they're all true. This trip will stay in my heart as a favorite. Thank you, Exodus and High Trails!
We have recommended the tour operator to our friends, relatives and co-workers as soon as we got back. Doing that is simply an appreciation of the most wonderful tour Europe Taster. We are fortunate to have the best Tour Leader (Kevin Screene) and Bus Driver (Joe) who as a team made our tour an adventure of a lifetime. We will always book with this operator in our future travels.
Amazing hikes with rewarding views As a solo female traveler I felt totally safe and reassured from the moment I met the exodus leader at the airport. All information about activities and transport was clear. The free local buses and trains throughout the week were really convenient. Everyday’s hike was different, either a challenging peak that brought real accomplishment or a balcony path that contoured along the valley. The 3 course diner every night was absolutely fabulous and tailored individually to people’s dietary needs. I would totally recommend the Mont Blanc Highlights to anyone who loves a good days walking followed by fabulous cake and good company from like minded individuals no matter your age.
