A marvellous week in the mountains! My dad and I have just returned from the Dolomites. We had an absolutely amazing week and I cannot rate it highly enough for keen mountain walkers. With varied walks, beautiful views, excellent guides and cheerful company from fellow hikers, it has been a very memorable week; I am so pleased that i chose this spectacular trip. Thank you to everyone for making it such a happy holiday.
Just completed the Taste of Italy tour September/October. I'm 27 and was the youngest on the tour. I felt like our group was a little family though, always looking out for one another. It really is a "taste" of the major cities in the northern half of Italy. I feel like we got to see a lot for the price of the trip but didn't spend a lot of time at each place, to be expected when you see "Taste of Italy." A lot of walking was involved... according to my Health App, we walked 8.5 miles on one day. My favorite part was seeing some of the smaller towns along the way to visit the bigger cities on the coach. I paid to do all of the extra excursions and was very glad I did! Marysol was our tour guide and she was phenomenal- so knowledgeable about every where that we went and was able to answer all of our questions! She was a delight to be around, caring, funny, and truly talented at what she does. It can't be easy carrying around 50 tourist LOL! On the last day of our tour, we were given a detailed form to fill out for a review of the trip. I feel like expat takes those seriously. Prior to departure, expat customer service was great - replies within 24 hours and the reply was very detailed. I would definitely recommend Expat to a friend and will be using them again in the future!
Fantastic hiking against stunning backdrop of limestone. This was a week of walking to celebrate my return to health after cancer treatment. It was a positive experience on every level. Both the landscape and the company were special. The hikes were challenging (I chose the 5), and all members of our group especially our leader Albert were supportive and encouraging.
