I did the European Alps tour with Silvana as our guide . I enjoyed the variety of this trip from the hiking, sometimes challenging to days walking through meadows of wild flowers. The cooking class to visiting a vineyard added to the overall experience. Everyday was special, I would sometimes think this is my favorite place then we would move on and I would have to reevaluate. All our accommodation was good but different. I have no hesitation in recommending SET you will have a trip of a life time.
The European Alps offer wonderful opportunities to enjoy both short and longer walks. With the help of an experienced tour leader, it is possible to ride many cable cars and gondolas to access great walks and eliminate a lot of uphill climbing. Local knowledge helps determine the right walk for the weather conditions and the ability of group members. We had a wonderful active holiday in a very scenic part of Europe and would highly recommend this trip.
The Alps Tour surpassed my expectations. It was my first time doing such a walking tour and I was both stretched at times and able to do everything. I loved the fact that all the transport and activities were included and using public transport was great and easy. The scenery was spectacular, the walking enjoyable and varied and Silvana’s local knowledge was invaluable. I highly recommend this tour and Silvana as your guide.
Fabulous, Trip of a lifetime! We are lucky to have travelled extensively over the years and we found that the value and overall experience provided by Southern Exposure Tours was the best group tour we have experienced.
I must say you are the best travel company I have dealt with over the decades. Your correspondence and all the extras have made dealing with you a fantastic experience.I will be endorsing your company to all travellers that I meet. Again thanks.
“Silvana was an amazing guide; energetic, tolerant, patient and entertaining. Her in-depth knowledge of the places we explored was an absolute asset. Whether we were making connections with local trains or cable cars, to speaking the local language, she was a real gem. Spending time walking through each of these country’s alpine villages in a small group, was a great way to experience the local culture and cuisine. Thank you for organising a well-planned, action-packed trip. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys walking!”
This was an amazing tour. Really well organised and we had a wonderful variety of things to do and see. The places we visited and the hotels we stayed at made it a very special holiday, we didn’t feel like tourists at all. The scenery was unbelievable and every day was another beautiful day. The alpine meadows need to be seen to be believed and this tour certainly had us out seeing them. I would thoroughly recommend taking a tour with Southern Exposure Tours. Their professionalism was outstanding and we packed a lot of holiday into a relatively short space of time.
Thanks for organising such an amazing holiday, absolutely fantastic. Andrea was a great guide, well organised, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We were kept busy and active and covered a lot of ground, we would have struggled to fit in all that we did had we been on or own.
On a previous SET tour, we talked with some of our travel companions about the most enjoyable trips we had done. They rated the European Alps Tour, combined with the Amalfi Coast very highly, and we couldn’t agree more. The whole package was outstanding. If you enjoy hiking, want to explore a range of beautiful European walking tracks and see some amazing scenery, you should make this trip a priority.
