This was a great trip. This was be my fourth trip with Travel Light. I really enjoyed Peaks of the Balkans, not only because of the great group of fellow hikers we had but also because of the two wonderful local guides that hiked with us each day. The meals were all amazing after a long day of hiking. The dorms were mostly comfortable as well. I'd highly recommend this trip to anyone.

An amazing group, wonderful guides, incredible scenery, and a fearless leader in Mel! This was a fantastic trip - we had so much fun and overcame every challenge to conquer the Peaks of the Balkans. Highly recommend!

This was likely the most memorable travel experience I’ve had. The daily physical challenge, the breathtaking beauty of Mont Blanc and surrounding peaks, and the camaraderie of the group of new hiking friends made the experience exceptional. The logistics supporting the trip were flawless!

Had an amazing time and felt so lucky to get such an amazing group of people and fantastic guides (Sam and Yan)! The scenery is beautiful and the hikes are challenging but so rewarding! Would absolutely recommend to others.

When I signed up for the TMB trip, I was not really sure what exactly to expect for the hiking or the organization. Melanie was absolutely awesome managing expectations of both. She sent along all the information needed to prepare effectively for this challenging but rewarding trek. I live at sea level, and while I found some of the long, steep parts tough, what I was able to do to prepare, helped me complete each day with a sense of accomplishment. Our group was fantastic and everyone got along, telling stories, laughing, and cheering each other on all day long. Our guide Yan was excellent. He really knew his stuff and was able to tell us about the areas we hiked through as well as presenting history about the region. When stopping for lunch or snacks, he would whip out a cutting board filled with cheese (still don't know where he kept his cutting board!). And of course there was Sam...our logistics person. He made sure all our accomodations were ready, our meals were paid for, our lunches were ready, and most importantly, he brought up the rear and talked me through those tough climbs. I am so grateful for the opportunity to complete this trip. It was not even on my radar until my friend invited me along. One of the best and most challenging trips I have ever taken and I am so glad I was able to get in on it. Thank you Melanie, Yan, Sam, my group of Mother Trekkers, and all our new friends. What a fantastic experience.
