This was a very well planned and thought out tour. Our guide (Connie) was engaging and helpful throughout the trip. She prepared in-depth information and graphics to describe each stop in detail. Free time at some stops allowed for individual exploration, before teaming up for group activities.
The food and accommodation provided was above expectation.
Also, the bus was comfortable and the driver very professional.
Overall, it was a fantastic small group tour and I would highly recommend it.
Our guide Manu and our driver Ken ably assisted by Allen, guide in training made our trip smooth, enjoyable, informative and pleasurable. We learnt lots about champagne, how to drink it with appreciation. We went to a family owned vineyard which made the experience intimate and pleasurable. We had a wonderful trip up above Chamonix on the cog railway and then cable car over the glacier. Some of us visited the ice tunnels into the glacier which is shrinking. We visited a family run cheese factory, fascinating and informative especially as there was a large dump of snow outside which stopped our trip across the alps. Ken then took us to another route with striking scenery and winding roads. We visited small villages, one with a weekly market. Manu bought food for a picnic. All our hotels were great - spacious, except for Paris! Hotels were modern, breakfasts were excellent. Our shared evening meals were very good. This trip was made by a good group of fellow travellers who were all travellers, on time, sociable and sharing. The WhatsApp group set up for the trip is still receiving posts from fellow travellers.
