What Past Participants say about us

“I said it before, and I·ll say it again: I'd go to the ends of the earth with Distant Journeys”.

B. Freedman, Palo Alto California

“Distant Journeys· Tour du Mont Blanc was the best of the several alpine walks that I have taken. Almost every day, we crossed a high pass with great views. The leadership was all that that could have been asked for. Everything that was supposed to happen did happen as it should have.”

R. Midgett, Chesterfield, PA

“My husband and I have trekked with Distant Journeys three times now and each and every experience has been exceptional. The guides are knowledgeable and fun; the trails challenging, the inns charming and the food has been outstanding. We would go anywhere, anytime with Andrea and Julie.”

J. and P. White Honolulu HI

“Distant Journeys has taken me on my dream vacation three times in a row. It·s been great fun to be in such beautiful places with small groups of interesting people.”

K. Whitney, Richmond VA

“They are very well connected on the TMB -all the hut and hotel owners greet them with open arms, so you know you·re going to be treated well”.

K. Edwards, New Haven, CT

“Hi Andrea, Julie, and the rest of the Distant Journeys gang, We just got back home yesterday after our jaunt through the Dolomites on your self guided Dolomite Hut Hike tour. WOW!! I didn·t think you guys would be able to top our self-guided Tour du Mont Blanc with you, but you definitely did it. What an amazing time! Looking very forward to the next one.”

S. Stroud and B. Milash, Oakland, CA

“All of the DJ guides are professional and caring. By the time the trip ends, we feel they have become our friends. We look forward to scheduling another trip with them soon!”

K. and M. Kelley, Barnesville, MD

“Thank you for helping us enjoy the best vacation ever! Our seven day self-guided hike was an unforgettable experience thanks to Distant Journeys. From the moment we arrived in Chamonix we benefited from your expertise and excellent reputation. All of the reservations and arrangements made by Distant Journeys for refuges and transportation was flawless, and the people were wonderful.

“We look forward to similar trips with Distant Journeys and would recommend you to anyone looking for a wonderful, active and culturally rich vacation in the French Alps.”

Matt, Deidre and Emma Nauman, Portland, OR

“This holiday was one of the best any of us has ever had. We found that the most pleasant surprise of the Tour was the ease with which we met people from all over and the instant camaraderie that the tour brings. Your arrangements, directions and recommendations took much of the uncertainly out of the trip, while the self-guided aspect gave us the freedom to modify your standard itinerary, and go at our own pace.”
