Europe Active outdoor Trips

A taste of Italy is an excellent tour. The food is delicious, the walking is enjoyable , the company fun and the tour keader, Massimo went above and beyond to ensure we all had a great time. i went on the last trip in June and the weather, at times, was a bit too hot for walking but it also poured with rain one day. The hotels were very good, especially in Matera. I enjoyed all of the varied things we saw and did and would happily recommend it.

Althea was a great guide. She made sure to tell us if any festas or other things were happening close by that were in the evening, which made for an even better experience. I loved all the historical sites. Malta and Gozo are easy to travel through. This trip packs a lot in. I liked the hotels. Transportation was comfortable. It's definitely worth an extra day before or after in Valletta, but there is time to see the museums there and do shopping within the tour.

JohnPaul in Gozo & Malta was very organised & shared his vast knowledge with the group. He used WhatsApp to ensure we knew what was happening each day. In Malta, some of the days could've been made shorter when it was very hot & a few tour members weren't well. Eg: wd could have missed the Presidential garden. In Sicily we had a fantastic experience with Danielle. Again he was well organised, hsed WhatsApp to keep us informed & shared his knowledge together wiith insider tips. He always gave us a preview to towns in the bus & escorted us to ensure we had an initial understanding of the towns & what we could do. He made extra effort to look after us eg: when I was sick with a sinus infection, he organised a bowl of vegetable soup for me instead of the set menu & when my friend was having difficulty with the Mt Etna hike because the guide was too fast on the uphill hike & didn't allow a stop, Dabiele escorted him at a slower pace so he could continue the experience.

When sharing a twin room space is needed between the beds.

A varied trip through 4 countries, of which 2 were new to me. A good combination of history, culture and towns to see. Two optional boat trips were taken by the entire group, and given much lack of an alternative, should really be part of the official trip. Dusan, the tour leader was enthusiastic and helpfull throughout. Highlights for me were the cities of Sarajevo, Mostar and Dubrovnik. It should be noted that in June, the weather was very hot, and should be taken into consideration.

A great all round trip Many places visited Just not enough time at some of the places
