Overall a very enjoyable tour and is perfect for summer time as it’s a combination of city sightseeing with relaxing on the beach. We even had some time yo go to the outlet just outside of Florence and my wife was very happy with shopping and then we stopped at one of the wineries nearby. Very nice hotels and good breakfasts. Easy to travel by train and just a short flight to Barcelona. Next time we would like to see more of Spain. We traveled in June 2023.
As experienced walkers with a few long distance treks behind us, the TMB exceeded our expectations. Great scenery, well led and wonderful company. We were fortunate that our waterproofs were worn for only 20 minutes in the whole fortnight!
Initially a tad nervous as a first time trekker - now I’m hooked! Awe inspiring peaks, glaciers and stunning scenery in every direction every day, coupled with a real sense of achievement when you finish those ascents - What’s not to love! Emma our guide/leader instilled us with confidence and briefed us each night about the next day’s route giving lots of useful advice about things such as what to pack in our rucksack, how much water to take and the best way to tie our boots. Late afternoon it was back to the comfortable and cosy Chalet Chocolate, slickly run by hosts Zohi and Ben who made us all feel so at home. Delicious food and cakes to die for made for a very happy group and we had lots of fun and loads of laughs.
