The WW1 Battlefields Tour was very well presented, we thoroughly enjoyed the backroads, the beautiful cemeteries and their history, meeting with gardeners looking after them, the towns supporting it, museums offering the history and stories behind this event. Our disappointment was the lack of access to some venues we expected to see as they were listed on the itinerary. Our accommodation and meals were of high standard, our hosts were very friendly and accommodating.
This trip was absolutely brilliant. Helped out with great weather in July, we had five stunning days of varied walks in this gorgeous part of the world. A privilege to see MB from so many different perspectives, and so much alpine botany etc.
The whole experience from start to finish was fantastic, from airport pick up to drop off - aided largely from having brilliant chalet hosts, a heroic team leader and a lovely, lovely group of other travellers (a mixed bag of couples, friends travelling together and those who had arrived solo).
Definitely on the classier side, with a comfortable chalet, spectacular food made and served by the lovely, fun and friendly Zohi and Ben, and access to all the amenities of fancy Chamonix.
The trekking was no walk in the park, and you have to be prepared to feel very tired at the end of each day. But if you really wanted to cop out and stay put in town for the day, of course you could - but no one in our group did as the walking and banter was too good!
The only negative was the fairly pants service by Swiss Air - I'd recommend just getting an Easyjet for half the price to be honest and meeting everyone at Geneva / saying bye bye there on way back.
First off, the tour itself was absolutely amazing and exceeded our expectations. But we would mostly like to thank our tour leader Jemma for making the experience perfect. She explained everything and made sure the tour was a smooth ride for us which made getting to explore even better, really friendly and always offering help and advice. We got to do more than we could imagine, definitely value for money. Definitely fast paced but made up for by getting to see soooo much and lots of free time in places to explore on your own. Expat tour leaders (especially Jemma) make the experience. And shout out to Gabriel the driver for his driving skills. Will definitely recommend to everyone we know and will be back for more tours!
