    Andorra is a beautiful country. The hiking was amazing. Dago was a good guide. The only problem was the initial meeting. It appears we were all sent different instructions. I arrived at the airport 2 hours early so that I wouldn't miss the meeting. My instructions were to meet the rep (who would be holding an Explore sign) at the exit to Terminal 2B (there are 5 exits!). I walked up and down the terminal for over half an hour (inside and out) and as the time for the meeting arrived and still no sign, I called the number in the instructions. I was told that the rep was there, and I was given a specific meeting spot. When he got to me, he said it was lucky that the bus was late because I would have been marked a no show and would have had to find my own way from Barcelona to Andorra. There was no sign with Explore written on it (he was wearing a jumper that he had taken off and hung over a bag facing the wall). I wasn't the only one that had this trouble. It was a case of mixed communications that could have had a costly and distressing outcome!

    Thank you so much for taking the time to review your Walking in the Pyrenees holiday. I do apologise that the arrival instructions received by your group differed and that your transfer driver did not display the proper signage as expected. I have... Show more

    Walking in the mountains/upland meadows. All the walks in fact bar the Day 1 walk, which for some part went close to a road and was therefore disappointing.

    Just a great week's walking. I probably enjoyed the Incles Valley/Siscaro Lakes day the most. Had an extremely quick dip in the lake which was refreshing.

    Not actually part of the tour - a trip to see Cirque du Soleil in Andorra de la Valle & the Tibetan suspension bridge of the free day. On the tour highlights were all the walks - lovely selection of varied terrain & the weather

    The scenery itself was the obvious highlight, the walks were excellent in that we were challenged at times but not excessivelly. The guide Michael Vanrapenbusch was exceptional , he looked after everybody very well.
