Europe Adventure Trips

Absolutely fabulous trip. Our trip leader Raquel was superb. I can’t speak highly enough of her. She was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the landscape and led us on many varied walks sharing her extensive knowledge. The trip was well organised with good accommodation and private transport for the most part. It was also interesting to experience the public transport on the mountainous roads and see some local towns and villages. Dining options were good and we experienced both local and world cuisine. The group size was ideal and we were extremely lucky to have a great group of fellow walkers. The grading of the holiday was accurate in our view, with both easier and more challenging elements. It was our first holiday with Explore but will definitely not be our last. Excellent.

The trip was incredible, it was just enough time in each city to get a taste of what you liked in a city. The guide was awesome, went above & beyond. The trains were awesome and using public transport gave you a taste of the local life.

What a great itinerary! Krakow, Budapest, Salzburg, Ljubljana, Venice and Rome were incredible destinations to visit and stay. I joined in Poland and fell in love with the country as soon as I landed there. The Christmas markets and mulled wine were really great. Budapest was unbelievably good. The ruins bar and Sparty were two highlights of my trip. The rest of the itinerary was amazing and I really enjoyed Ljubljana. I had no expectations whatsoever and it was incredible. Our trip manager and driver were great value and ensured the trip ran smoothly. Definitely met really great people and will have new mates for life.

This trip was a last minute decision and it was one of the best that I have made. It was a very full itinerary but there was lots of time and a full explanation of what we were doing and seeing. The food was very good, as was the accommodation. Our tour director was extremely knowledgeable and the group size was just right.

I enjoyed all we saw within our nine days and how well organised the trip was! Such a great and easy way to travel Europe. Our guides were also incredible and so knowledgeable! I personally think there were many FTA's (which added up quite quickly in costs) and expected more included experiences, but otherwise was very impressed by how organised our trip manager was and how smooth everything ran!

I very much enjoyed spending a week in November walking on this beautiful island. Some of the walking paths were steep and rocky, not the best maintained, but manageable. It was easy to get to the starting point, the little towns were charming. It would have been better if more restaurants were open off season, but most were fine. I wish there was a better location for a rest day; getting to the nearest beach took a long time on the bus. We had a great group, had a good time!
