Trafalgar is Amazing!

Our tour group was the last to go before another European shut-down. Trafalgor was amazing in rerouting the tour, staying a step ahead of the covid restrictions and keeping us safe and happy. Although we were not able to go to the places were expecting to go due to government restrictions, there were many upgrades along the way. Our tour director was amazing, well versed in European history, and handled all of the unexpected changes with grace and a sense of humor. We could not have asked for a better outcome and I would absolutely trust Trafalgor again to handle the complexities of traveling with covid restrictions in play.

They provided excellent support from beginning to end on our trip. The hotels they use are great, and their route notes and gps files are great. Some advice if you're considering the Berner Oberland trip and you've read this far: stay flexible in your planning, and do some of your own research on activities that aren't hiking in the areas. The weather was pretty lousy when we arrived and stayed wet/overcast for the first 3 days or so, so we ended up completely rearranging/changing the routes we planned to hike. We packed hiking clothes for all weather though (as you should too!), and managed to stay comfortable and dry even being outdoors all day. And keep in mind until you travel to Zermatt, everything is (more or less) within an hour's reach by train. We ended up getting a beautiful sunny day on our 2nd day in Lauterbrunnen, so we traveled from there to Widerswil to get to Schynige Platte (actually a shorter train ride than if you left from Meiringen), and took two short train rides from Grindelwald back to Lauterbrunned after the hike. It was well worth the shuffle, and wasn't at all difficult thanks to the ease of use of Swiss trains and the close proximity of all of these mountain villages. My one complaint is that you'll want more time in each town proper, but that's not their fault, and if you have the means, you could always extend days with their help. It's an absolutely stunningly beautiful part of the world, and they made it a breeze to experience. Thanks!

A superb week in three countries

This is a great trip hiking through three countries and experiencing the best of the Tour du Mont Blanc. We had a great guide - Augustine - who led us safely through all the hikes. We had variable weather - but this was fine. However, come prepared for all weathers, even in the height of summer. The walking is quite challenging and the fitter you are, the more the walks will be enjoyed. Make sure you come with spending money - and Swiss francs are useful for the first couple of days in Switzerland, even though the trip notes say euros are fine (you'll get a better deal with francs). Switzerland is, obviously, more expensive than Italy and France. Self-catering for packed lunches is quite easy, with local shops etc. If you buy packed lunches, they are over-priced, although generally very good. Included breakfasts and dinners are, overall, excellent. Accommodation - very comfortable and fit for purpose. The hotel in Forclaz, on day one, is the least impressive. Some trip notes details are not as accurate as they could be. This is a superb walking trip through a beautiful area of Europe. It is well worth the expense.
