Pete & Sylvie were a fantastic team on the 18 day EX trip. Pete was knowledgeable & energetic, keeping the excitement & anticipation levels high, while.prioritising personal safety & bathroom breaks all the way. Individual attention was paid to people's specific needs & viewing wishlists, & Sylvie was meticulous about driving in the crowded cities despite local eccentricities. All in all, as a solo traveller I felt I was in capable hands.
Like a previous reviewer I found this much harder that Toubkal or EBC. The walks seem to be up all morning and down in the afternoon. Some of the downs were very hard on the Knees. Despite this the effort was well rewarded with the stunning scenary. Having to put your tent away before brerakfast required some effort, specially if you didn't master the technique. Camp meals were always filling, and never went hungary. Although breakfast did get a bit repetitive. The group van always contained a cold beer at the end of the day, which was very welcome. I hired my sleeping bag and matt from exodus and the bag was nice and warm, but maybe the matts could have been a bit thicker. Really felt the rocks some nights. Would bring my own next time
The Europe Taster tour exceeded all my expectations it was absolutely awesome we had a lot of fun, The itinerary couldn't be better and the best of all the best leader Kevin ! He was really making sure that we were secure and on time also about the food we prefer and always available in case we need information, totally an excellent and professional service ! This is in my opinion more than a tour, it is a powerful experience to get to know people and places!
