  Fantastic guide, itinerary, accommodations. Guide accommodated all, from the uber-trekker who wanted and was capable to do more, to the person who needed to take a break from some segments, to the rest of us who trekked the original plan.

  The Tour company, No Roads, out of Australia, made the trip more complicated than necessary, and at times, disappointing. There were 10 of us and the group members could t have been better! Everybody got along and I had a wonderful roommate whom I had never met before. The guide was also amazing- friendly, professional, credentialed and highly experienced. We always knew we were in good hands. This trip was a splurge for me as I generally arrange and do all myself traveling for months at a time. So it was frustrating when the arrangements were sloppy (a room with one small bed for 2 women who are”singles,”.Sub- par (2 couples had to share a bathroom), and lacking (one night dinner was lentil soup and bread, and a cold dessert that looked like left over pizza), inefficient (the tour used city buses for transportation and there was a bus strike and a cutback of the number of buses due to the season change) where we started on the trail over an hour later than planned. We were having rain and snow on different days so this was a safety issue as well. The buses were terribly crowded and several (4) of our group became ill from a stomach virus…. I felt bad for the guide who wasn’t in control of any of this because it reflected on him, although he remained professional. I sent an email complaining about the bus situation (because I felt I paid for transports) and the Liason for the company told me that it was an effort to protect the environement. Disingenuous since this Australian company had 8 people traveling 24 hours by air to get there. She also stated that she is going to contact the city to Courmeyer to fix the bus situation. Eye roll. The problem with things being so inconsistent was that we could all see that things could have been arranged better, but corners were clearly cut to save money at the expense of the quality of the tour. There was a consensus among every member that parts of the tour were below standards and that the expectation for the price point (about $4800 pp US) was not met. We all said we would not use this company again for any tour. At the end of the tour, where the other companies’ guides got to hand out TMB (Tour of Mont Blanc) T-shirts, we got nothing. Guide Luca Ferrari 10/10 Food - very uneven, a few 10/10 and some 5/10 Hotels- mostly 8/10, but one 5/10 Transport- buses 3/10, private vans 9/10 Route 10/10

  What a great Tour Mont Blanc Circuit trek through No Roads!!! Luca was an exceptional guide in every way! He is extremely knowledgeable about everything, very friendly and sociable, on top of all the logistics, has a great sense of humor plus a delightful accent! Not only was the scenery stunning every day but we also lucked out with perfect weather the whole trip. The hotels were very nice and the food was plentiful and mostly very good. I highly recommend this tour with this particular company!!!

  Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed this trip. We stayed at small hotels, always having a private room and en suite bath. Issues along the way - matched with people in the same group who didn't take the training seriously; meals that were only fair and lack of diversification in picnic lunches; occasional front desk staff that acted uninterested or inconvenienced. Fortunately, this did not affect the beauty of the surroundings and the overall exhilaration felt with the accomplishment of each day. Although the tour operator did mention the importance of training, this should have been stressed more greatly. It should be made more clear that the actual route taken may not end up being the same route clhosen for the day.

  Thank you Vanessa for taking the time for this review. Your trip was certainly a difficult one to manage considering poor Marco's family issues, this would have had an impact on the trip. Thanks for the tip re training. We thought we stressed this to... Show more

  The tour guide Luka was excellent. He is full of knowledge of the area, efficient in handling all the logistics, communication with the entire group, and leading the hikes. He took excellent care of the entire group of diverse hikers. The only negative I have is that some of the lodging stays were of low quality, maybe 1 star standard. But some of the other lodgings were excellent. And some of the provided dinner meals were excellent

  The actual trek around Mont Blanc is majestic and quite frequently breathtaking (both literally and figuratively). Stunning vistas, snow capped glaciers, green meadows and forests create a feeling of awe that is the Alps.

  An amazing experience, would thoroughly recommend. Having done several other No Roads trips, this one was a luxury in many repects, no tents & the pleasure of a hot shower & glass of wine at the end of each day ! Don't hesitate , as this was the first No Roads TMB trip, I can assure you the next one, will be even better!
