Customer Reviews
A great trip on trails with amazing views of Mont Blanc. Hotel very accommodating and friendly staff. Menu and food delicious. Pool and sauna for after walks. Perfect!
Highlights of Mt Blanc left me with fantastic memories. Leader Sophie coped with our large (15) group expertly. There were some tough, steep uphill and downhill stretches but I persisted and overcame a lack of fitness. Varied itinerary - heights, forests, but all scenic. Hotel was Ok, food good (not great) but a wine list inadequate in both price and quality.
This was an amazing holiday with Explore. The scenery was spectacular and the itinerary varied. Denis our tour leader was bouncing with enthusiasm and was always looking out for us. We were a fairly small group of 9, most in our 60s but fit, and we gelled well together. This was a holiday with a wow around every corner.
This was my first trip with Explore! and it was absolutely amazing! I was fortunate also with my fellow participants in our group as they were a wonderful group of people. The guide, Denis, was incredible. His knowledge about the area, the geography, and the flora and fauna was all encompassing. The only glitch I’d say was the lack of wifi in the hotel. The rooms themselves and the food was very good.
