Brilliant Trip

An unforgettable trip from the quiet, laid back Cilento to the vibrant Amalfi Coast

Most Inspirational Moment

The scenery throughout the whole trip is beautiful. The tranquillity and authenticity of Cilento, with its charming fishing villages and untouched coastline, offered a beautiful contrast to the vibrant energy of the Amalfi Coast. On the free day I enjoyed the hike from Minori to Ravello. It's worth visiting Villa Cimbrone for the incredible views and gardens.

Thoughts on Group Leader

A huge part of what made this trip so special was our tour leader Paolo and support driver Emilio. Paolo is incredibly knowledgeable and organized but also warm, encouraging, and genuinely passionate about the region. His enthusiasm was contagious, and his local insight helped us appreciate every town, every climb and every meal.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Pack for all weather conditions. We had rain and shine in May - waterproofs came in handy. A good level of fitness is required for the hills and confidence cycling amongst the busy roads of the Amalfi Coast . The trip is extremely fun on an E-bike.

Lots of steps but the views at the top are worth it!

The Cinque Terre and Portofino are famous places so you have to accept they are busy but this trip still gives you lots of time out of the towns walking through the forests and mountain paths. There are a lot of Steps but the views are worth it. I think its a perfect level 3 it pushes you at times (especially in the hot summer) but there is a nice balance of easier sections where you can just soak in the views and take lots of photos!
The Hotel in Moneglia is a great location right across from the Beach, you can get up early for a swim!
The Hotel also has a Jacuzzi and a Wellness Swimming pool – the spa jets are a great way to ease the muscles!
The Resturants in the area are of a really good standard and the guides are great at recommendations!

Most Inspirational Moment

Probably the feeling at the top of every climb! We had 34 degree heat so after every big push it was a moment of celebration and relief - to then just look around you and soak in the views it made it all worth it!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Nico was great fun, very knowledgeable about the area, gave us good alternative walks or options to consider due to the heat. Had great recommendations for the free day and was spot on with his restaurant reservations. He loves a Map! He also wont let you have only one Gelato flavour, 3 per tub is the ideal!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take atleast 1 walking pole and good ankle support. Take a good sized water bottle there are lots of refill places. Consider extending your stay, there are so many little towns along the coast and its so easy to use the trains! Or maybe tie in a city break - there are intercity train connections to Florence, Milan, Rome.

Fabulous experience

Fantastic overview of three fascinating countries . I travelled with my husband, and we both thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

Most Inspirational Moment

For me it was wonderful to see how these countries, and in particular the cities, have recovered from an oppressive state during the Soviet domination, in such a short time.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Andrius was a great organiser and really encouraged us to explore us much of the culture as we could in the short time we had. Local food was well explained so we could willingly try it. Andrius had a great sense of humour, and really held the group together. His passion for these countries is clearly seen. It was also very interesting to hear if his life during Soviet times.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take good walking shoes to ease your way around the cobblestones. Be prepared for busy days, and sudden weather changes.

Memorable trip

Wonderful locations, spectacular scenery, good variety and a fabulous leader!

Most Inspirational Moment

Learning from the leaders vast knowledge and enthusiasm. Views in Durmitor Nat Park were breathtaking and drive down to Bosnia equally stunning, as well as lunch with a local family

Thoughts on Group Leader

Fatima was an exemplary tour leader for me. Her knowledge and outlook on life were inspirational and pretty life changing. She always ensured everyone was comfortable and often surprised us with unexpected treats. The weather was v v hot & she made small tweaks to ensure we didn’t suffer in the heat too much. Along with the group we had, she absolutely made the trip!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Whilst you can use cards, cash is often preferred in many places. We took euros & Fatima took us to an exchange/atm in Sarajevo for the Bosnian convertible marks

Highlights of Albania

Excellent educational historical scenic Albanian journey. Our group leader Ed was extremely knowledgeable and shared stories of living under communism. Our driver Di Di was a joy to be around. Not only was he an excellent driver on the long windy roads but he brought so much fun and joy to our group.

Brilliant trek

This is a fantastic trek – doing it in June meant there was still some snow on the route and lots of wild flowers, including orchids. We camped in some great locations with the most stunning mountain views.

Most Inspirational Moment

There were lots of 'oh wow' moments as views of Mont Blanc, the Grand Jorrases and other 4000m peaks and glaciers came into view.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader (Adrian) had extensive local knowledge of the route, the best places to get coffee and cake, the plants, the mountains and glaciers. He was attentive to the needs and enthusiasms of the group.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Read the trip notes! This IS a challenging trek, especially if it is hot. Be prepared to be flexible, embrace the challenge and you'll have a wonderful time.

Tour Of Mont Blanc Hike. A Dream Come To Reality

Our guide and group completed this awesome-inspiring adventure with joy, satisfaction and with memories that will last a lifetime.

Most Inspirational Moment

Reaching the high point of every day. In particular reaching the Col De Tricot. Wild flowers lining the countless zigzags to reach the Col, with incredible views of the higher mountains on multiple sides and with a supportive group and leader.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Eagle was a confident, resourceful, and king group who led our group and kept us going at a satisfactory pace that balanced the schedule with the physical abilities of our group, the personal preferences for enjoying the journey, landscape and food, and doing it with tactful and considerate guidelines for achieving our daily hike goals. I have only praise for Eagle, would recommend her to hikers from any level and would gladly journey with her at the next opportunity. She has incredible resilience, physical endurance, a fine sense of humor and always a thoughtful word for the group.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Pack light, and then lighten your selections. Worry not about having all you might need but learn to make do with the bare minimum in your backpack. Simply focus on enjoying the hike itself by not being overly burdened. Ask for Egle as your guide!!!

Well worth the challenge

This was a challenging trip, but well paced. Every long climb was rewarded with spectacular views, and often a cake at a refuge. It was great to be part of a large, friendly group – everyone helped each other out with the camp pack down in the mornings, and encouraged each other along the way. The satisfaction of completing the circuit, and being able to look back at the mountain passes we’d covered was huge.

Most Inspirational Moment

Hiking close to the glaciers and appreciating how awesome they are.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Egle was always cheerful and encouraging, and kept us well informed about what to expect each day. Albert cooked us plenty of delicious, nutritious food which everyone appreciated and enjoyed.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take walking poles, even if you don't use them at home. This is a very big walk and they will be valuable. Expect to be tired, but also to be rewarded with amazing views and a sense of achievement.

Interesting but difficult trip

Beautiful views along the cliffs. Challenging cycle conditions with deep sand sections, rough gravel roads, and several steep climbs.

Most Inspirational Moment

Arriving at the final hotel after an extremely hot and dusty day.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ricardo is knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his country. His English is excellent.

Advice for Potential Travellers

E-bikes with experienced cyclists struggled more than non e-bikes in the sand sections. 50% off road seems longer due to the slower speeds off road. Porto to Lisbon is €1200 less money per person. Still looking for that extra €1200 in this trip cost.
