Hugo was a great guide. The itinerary was well chosen & the bikes were very good. Having just done the Epworth Loire Valley tour, I was glad to see a wide variety of attractions apart from chateaux.
Fabulous weeks hiking ..... A wonderfull weeks hiking amongst the most beautiful scenery, Egle (Agi) was a brilliant tour guide and managed the difficulty of varying walking speeds of the group really well. She was also very knowledgable, patient and all round delightful ...every day was met with a smile. The host's at Chalet Chamonix Claire and Liz were also top notch, very helpful, nothing was too much effort, food was great, and even arranged a cake and candles for my wife's birthday....... and they didnt seem to mind too much when teased about women's driving!!!! :-) ....only slight downside was the chalet, a little tired/old and in much need of some tlc (that is no reflection on Claire or Liz), on a plus it was well situated to walk into the town centre! We were lucky with the varied international group as well, 2 Canadian, 2 Americans, 2 Aussies, 2 Koreans and 3 English; a lot of laughs were had - some great and interesting characters.
Chamonix itself is beautiful, many bars and restaurants to choose from and some great cable rides 'Aguille du Midi' and 'Brevent' in particular. We chose to book paragliding, if your ever going to do it .....there is nowhere better.
This was our third Exodus trip, and can never fault them; we have already booked Tuscany for next year ....bring it on!
It was a different experience from others because of Christmas Holidays timing. I am fully satisfied with Steve as our tour leader. He led us on being respectful, courteous and friendly. Alex is a jolly, optimistic bus operator. Full of energy and always prepared for the next task. Alex and Steve are great team together. I trust them both..
