Excellent presenters and interesting topics
Outstanding trip! All details of our 10 day Tour Du Mont Blanc were meticulously planned and executed flawlessly. Our local guides were knowledgeable, experienced and enthusiastic. Well done!
We had a wonderful experience during our Tour du Mont Blanc trip. Beautiful views, diverse trails, and lots of alpine flora and fauna. Everything was very well organized, and the accommodations and food were excellent. What made this tour super special were the AMAZING guides — Sebastien, Laurent, and Xavier — attentive, accommodating, funny and truly enjoying leading groups in the outdoors. Highly recommend.
I have been on 3 trips with this company and have absolutely loved each one. They are so attentive to your needs. My last trip was Mont Blanc and while physically demanding, it was so rewarding in every way! The guides (Seb, Lolo and Xavier) are always amazing! This will definitely not be my last trip with them!
Really lovely staff to learn from. Each provides their own perspective on the info but all of it is engaging and worthwhile. Maya we love you! Excellent job, way to be flexible and adaptive to group needs while still being awesome.
IVS and BioBio provide high quality guides and accommodations while providing real adventure in the most amazing places in the world. My most recent trip — the Tour du Mont Blanc — was absolutely incredible. The most beautiful sites, the challenging hikes with the most capable, kind and fun guides. I already booked my next trip!
The guides on this trip — Laurent, Sebastian and Xavier — made our trip so very special. They thought of every detail and were extremely knowledgeable, caring and funny. Our accommodations were thoughtfully chosen. The CME was provided in pertinent and memorable detail. Touring Mt Blanc was breathtaking, and seeing the Ibex and Ptarmigan on the last day completed this beautiful trip!
Seb, Lo Lo and Xavier were wonderful and the trip was incredible as a result of their passion, attentiveness and planning. We couldn't have had better guides and this trip was overall a real highlight. Would recommend to anyone considering!
The Tour Du Mont Blanc with Bio Bio and Nuyama guides is a fantastic way to hike and see Mt Blanc from many countries — France, Italy and Switzerland. Sebastien and Laurent are exceptional guides with wit, humor, history and flexibility no matter the change in weather. Their knowledge of the terrain and ability to 'read the group' was excellent. The trip of a lifetime!
A wilderness adventure with top-notch staff providing excellent food, fun and facts. Beautiful scenery and outstanding faculty make this a must do for every outdoor enthusiast and medical types alike
The CME trip to Mont Blanc was fabulous. Very well organized... even above expectations. The guides in particular were exceptionally professional, affable, very knowledgeable and mindful of our safety. The guides helped to create a very relaxed, friendly and joyous atmosphere within the group with their humor and piquant stories. The choice of hotels, restaurants, food for lunches on the trails was excellent ...
The most interesting CME I have ever attended. Instructors well-versed and entertaining guides very safety oriented and helpful food was amazing! This was the best CME I have attended in my 13 years of practice and I look forward to attending again
