Based in a lovely valley with great views and a pool. The leader selected the order of the walks to take advantage of the day's weather and was very knowledgeable about the local area.
Walking In Tuscany (on a challenging week's trip) We had a fantastic time. Everything was well organised, so pick up from the airport, and transfer to the accommodation were easy. The brochure had described things well, so it had given us an accurate idea of the holiday. The family run accommodation was charming, with excellent meals provided. The walking was everything we hoped for, and more, with our guide making decisions about where to go each day based on weather conditions, and to show us a variety of terrain, so that we felt we got the best combination of walks possible. There was a short minibus ride each day to the start of the walk, and then back at the end of the day, and a packed lunch was provided each day. As it was one of the 'challenging weeks' we made maximum use of daytime hours to be out walking, so we didn't spend much time back at the farmhouse.
There is lots of sites to see on this tour, our guide Helen kept us informed and on time. You will have plenty of time to sleep on the bus between countries. Break stops are frequent and well appointed stations you will enjoy loads of time on your own to discover the memories important to you. I fell in love with Switzerland, Austria, Belgium and the French country side . There are plenty of dining options and variety. In my opinion, This tour is not for kids !! I will definitely use Expat for more tours . If your willing to open yourself up to new experiences places people and a travel plan unlike others, you will have the best vacation of your life!
