Amanda | Traveled in November
Great hiking and well organised! Guide (Alpen) was great at keeping everyone moving at a good pace and was very knowledgeable. The itinerary was varied - so made for a very interesting trip. The hikes were great, scenic and just hard enough to make it a great fitness week. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Loved this trip, perfect time of year for walking, great group and our guide Nebil was amazing. Attentative at all times, friendly, knowledgeable, funny, kind. Everything you'd hope for. Thank you so much.

Nabil was the perfect explore leader. Nothing was too much trouble and on the one rainy morning he rearranged the day and we had a perfect time on our boat trip and swimming in 2 beautiful bays. The Staff in the accommodation were truly wonderful and made us feel very welcome. I had the perfect break away from a hectic work life.
Stephen | Traveled in November
The trip was well organised from the start. The tour leader was exceptional and very well versed in what we were about to see and in the general geography of Sicily. We had not been on an organised tour before but will certainly consider Explore again. Thank you

First tour with Explore - experience exceeded my expectations! Minor negative (also shared by others in the group) was the ‘shared’ accommodation in Gey Village. Ok if I was in my 30’s but I’m in late 60’s. Worth investigating alternative accommodation options even if some additional busing might be required. Otherwise everything (guide, group, food, accommodation, transportation, and hikes/views) great! Won’t be my last tour with Explore!
