    Simply excellent. We hiked the ~100 kilometers outlined by the 8-day tour and, while it was tough, we were well prepared for what to expect. All this especially thanks to Nino, and other members of the team, who were so kind to answer our MANY questions in advance. One small criticism is that the day-by-day printed-out itinerary was a little confusing in its descriptions/explanations. The English could be a bit more idiomatic and with specific information in a better (more logical and streamlined) order. It was also a *little general ("if you are doing this then..., if that, then...") and if possible, it'd be nice to have it even more tailored exactly to our plans (where/how to pick up busses was a little anxiety-inducing in advance, though word of mouth on the trail made it clearer). But that may be asking too much. The info on the app, especially the map, was very helpful, though. The Hotel Isabella in Chamonix was good but there was late-night street music that made it hard for our kids to sleep (we were in the quieter Hotel du Clocher). This for future reference. Thanks so much! It was a very memorable trip. We loved the varied places we stayed in too.

    Overall a well planned and fun trip. However, there were some times when transportation between towns was a big issue. We almost became stranded multiple times. However, this is an issue of the area, not a reflection on the tour agency. The grand angle team was very responsive and quick to help with any questions. I do wish that the itinerary included more information on local bus stops, train stations and schedules. We had several days where some members of our group were unable to do the hike planned OR weather was not permitting, and we had to do all our own research to figure out how to get to the next location. It would also be nice to have more information about local attractions listed for each town as well, in case hiking is not an option. The views, of course, were unbeatable.
