A: My wife and I have been taking both guided and self-guided hikes for years. We hiked the Tour de Mt. Blanc in 1994 with a group of 14 others. That, along with two other guided hikes, convinced us that we were best to hike by ourselves, as a group of 10 to 16 people was just way too cumbersome. We used a provider other than Inntravel on our first self-guided hike. It was a wonderful hike but some of the accommodations provided by this firm were unacceptable, paint peeling from the walls, beds covered in plastic, etc. Our first Inntravel trip was
From the Pyrenees to the Atlantic and every aspect of this trip was perfect, even to the point of staying in a little inn that served the best
crème brûlée ever. We even became friends with a couple from Scotland with whom we are still in contact. Over the years we used a number of other providers other than Inntravel, but only when the trip was not one offered by Inntravel.
