    We were extremely happy with the entire trip and our guide Adrian, who was very knowledgeable, professional and supportive. We found having walking poles very useful

    What an unforgettable experience! I won’t lie—it was physically challenging, but the reward was more than worth it. The views were absolutely breathtaking! Our guide, Agustine, was incredibly kind and patient (especially when I fell behind the group a few times). He was always calm and encouraging, truly embodying a “Buddha state of mind.” Nothing seemed to faze him—such an amazing person! My friend and I stayed at The Bediere Chalet, and all I can say is—wow. The location was stunning, and the chalet itself felt like a dream home for the week, with the most spectacular views. Our hosts, Sandro and Violetta, were just fantastic—so full of life, warmth, and humor. Their delicious cooking and cheerful, cheeky spirits made every day even more special. If you asked me right now, “Would you do this tour again?” — my answer would be a resounding yes. I walked away with such clarity of mind, a refreshed perspective on my priorities, and truly some of the best memories. If you're someone like me—often buried in work and in need of a change of pace—this experience is exactly what you need

    Asked on April 2nd, 2025

    I am interested in this trip but I cannot tell how to get to the starting place from the description. I will be coming from the San Sabastian area of Spain (Hendaye, France train possibly) and I need to get to Paris after the tour. Can you advise when and how I might get to the starting point and from the end to Paris. I do have a eurail pass.

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Exodus Adventure TravelsOperatorWritten April 2025

      There are direct trains, which take about one hour, from Paris Montparnasse station to Saint-Pierre-des-Corps railway station, near Tours. There are also direct trains from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), but these are irregular so taking the metro to Montparnasse may be a quicker option. We provide one group arrival transfer from Saint-Pierre-des-Corps railway station, scheduled for 3pm on the first day. On Departure there is a group transfer from the end hotel to Saint Pierre des Corps train station which will be scheduled to meet the 0755am direct train service to Paris CDG.

      TravelerWritten April 2025

      Do you know about how many miles/km we walk each day? And what type of terrain. I am already traveling and I am sure I do not have the best walking shoes so want to know what I might need. I walk a lot so it should not be an issue and I love ot talk but do need to understand what I am signing up for. Anything else I should know?

    • Exodus Adventure TravelsOperatorWritten April 2025

      There are 5 days of walking, with the longest day's walking being 9km and the shortest being 7km for the day. You will not need any special walking shoes as the walks are quite leisurely as long as your shoes are comfortable.
