Had a wonderful week walking around Mont Blanc. Our group was friendly and kind, the scenery was like a “fairytale” and our accommodation / food was good

The trip ticked all the boxes as I imagined them, starting with beaches with turquoise transparent waters on the first and last days, from there it was medieval market villages, quiet cycling tracks through vineyards, oaks and almond trees and of course the mountains and their excellent views. Quiet hotels with character, lovely Mediterranean food and above all the charming ways of the locals. I would love to do it again, changing the route to discover even more places.
Picture yourself drifting from one Greek icon to another on the "Island Hopping: Athens, Santorini" tour. Crafted for seniors seeking relaxation and classic beauty, this five-day beach trip pairs the historic allure of Athens with the romance of Santorini’s famous white-washed cliffs.
Discover ancient treasures as you wander through Athens, then unwind in Santorini’s serene ambiance, strolling along its gleaming coastline and savoring sunsets that light up the Mediterranean sky. With comfortable accommodations, transport, and select meals included, the tour package makes for a stress-free escape.
The highlight of this getaway is its seamless combination of history and island leisure—providing a gentle, enriching introduction to the Cycladic charm of Greece for those who value comfort and cultural depth.
Very good holiday with excellent cycling routes, good quality bikes and some unique hotels. We did not realise that the Costa Brava had so many medieval villages relatively close to the coast.

Fairly flat cycle ride of approximately 40 miles/day on mainly quiet roads or off road on the Via Verde, though there was some cycling on busy main roads. We had non stop sunshine and temperatures in mid 30s for our trip in late September, but felt that some of the Via Verde route would be almost impossible if it was wet. There were some good hills to ascend most days.
This tour was a welcome change from the fast paced touring of the big cities. We became familiar with the topography and vegetation as we hiked daily, also visiting towns known for wines and cheeses. The town of Chianciano provided a magnificent backdrop to our accomodation of Agriturismo La Pietriccia. We were awakened every morning to the rooster crowing. Stefano was an attentive and knowledgeable host. Plenty of food was served at the 4 course suppers. I feel this tour was necessary to complete my knowledge of the culture of Italy!
