A great week, stunningly beautiful scenery. Weather was fabulous. Hotels + gites all spotlessly clean, very welcoming staff + great food. I would recommend the tour as we did it to friends/fellow walkers

I understand that a genuine mistake was made on Monday night. I want to say how good Mien was. Nothing was too much trouble for him. I hope we have a leader as good when we go to Majorca with GWT on Oct.

We had a very good week of walking with Mien . I have to say he was the best leader I have met , nothing was too much trouble for him . I hope to again do TMB with Mien as leader .

We had a fantastic trip and Mien was a superb guide. The only disappointment was that we couldn’t walk to Courmayeur as the rest of the group wasn’t fit enough. I understand that Mien needed to keep everyone together but that was a real shame. Perhaps the trip needs to be marketed better to make it clearer about fitness?
It was unfortunate about the hotel in Les Contamines but mistakes happen! You dealt with it very fast which was brilliant.
As for Trient, its all part of the experience!!
Well done to you all it was fabulous. Mien mentioned doing the TMB on a road bike and thought you could offer this – is this true?

We had a wonderful week with an excellent guide Mien. he was very understanding and helpful to each person in the group. He had endless patience and handled Monday night problems with professionalism. He helped me personally when I had difficulty with ascents and made sure pace was within my capability.Thank you Florence, Vincent, Mien and all France Outdoors team and look forward to traveling with your Company again.
