Had a great 7 days journey, blended with tough and moderately easier days. Food and accommodation was good and the guides well coordinated. We got lucky imo with our awesome guide, Antoine, who was affable from the get go, accomodating, very knowledgeable, and adjusted seamlessly when things got complicated by a bug doing the rounds. Overall, would highly recommended this tour.

I did the 7 day comfort tour of the TMB and had the pleasure of having Romain as my guide. The tour was very well organized and all the accommodations were excellent except for 1 (we stayed at a refuge for the night and there was bed bugs) but that was no fault of Watse. I would definitely recommend doing the TMB with them both for the level of organization, the choice of accommodations (save for 1), and the food/services provided. Also, you really can’t beat the price.

Tour was guided by a very funny yet knowledgeable guide - Julien. He will share us stories and tricks like where to get the best coffee or chocolate cake, where is the hidden toilet etc. Accommodations are very well organized, cozy places with good breakfast and dinner provided. Packed lunch are served with good salad, cheese, ham and bread too.
