Walking Holidays in the Middle East

Just back from superb Tour de Mont Blanc 2w camping trek. The scenery was stunning each and every day, the days were full and active, we camped in the most beautiful locations and were fortunate to have the most friendly approachable and knowledgeable leader Agu and camping manager/chef Keiron, both of whom were brilliant and couldn’t have made the trip run better. I’m glad we didnt do the hotel version. Cant recommend this trip enough!

Michael Kingsbury Tour du Mont Blanc Camping Trek

The scenery was stunning throughout. Each day’s walk gave a different experience, both the views and the walking profiles. The itinerary is such that the difficulty of the walking generally increases over the course of the tour. It’s worth noting that the itinerary does leave a few small gaps in the TMB route. The camping was generally enjoyable (we had very good weather on most days but the one wet night did make the camping experience a little more challenging). All campsites, even the ones noted as “basic” had showers, and several had extensive facilities. However, it seems to be common practice in the area to not have toilet seats. Breakfasts and lunches were basic and somewhat repetitive, but the dinners were excellent and varied. The pace of the tour is high, with very early starts most days. Our leader Hristian, and camping manager/chef Kieron, were fantastic. We used our first rest day to take the Skyway Monte Bianco and Panoramic Mont Blanc cable cars to the Aiguille du Midi – if the weather is good, we strongly recommend this amazing experience.

Great trip in Andalucía! As an Exodus employee, I really enjoyed this itinerary. It offered a wonderful balance of walking through quiet olive groves and exploring some of the region’s more vibrant, well-known cities.

The food was excellent every evening, and the accommodations were comfortable and welcoming. Having access to a pool at the end of each day’s walk was especially relaxing and made the experience even more enjoyable.
