Europe Sightseeing Trips

It was a great trip. It was fast paced but considering that we had to cover three countries in 15 days, it certainly was well organized. Our trip leader, Tudor was very knowledgable and personable. He was also a good leader and added to the enjoyment of the trip. Most hotels were comfortable and well placed in the cities and places that we visited. Found that we had enough time to ourselves and were able to explore areas of interest on our own. It was my first trip with Explore and I would certainly recommend it to my friends.

Highly recommended. Lots of experiences in addition to eating a lot of food and drinking a lot of wine! Learning about the traditional wine making was very interesting and eating traditional home cooked food was exceptional. The hotels were all good and the coach was very comfortable. Maryam, our tour leader, was a delight.

Excellent in SO MANY WAYS. Loved the hiking and the itinerary - too steep in some small sections, luckily we all made it through without injury — a blessing. Excellent group of hikers, got along great and all were supportive if one another. Aykut was wonderful as a guide and fellow human. One concern is he let the line get too spread out and this definitely caused safety issues as a few times the back few couldn’t follow along and took off inadvertently on wrong trails and fortunately we could call them back to the line - he really needs to tighten up there. I wished he had shown more interest and curiosity in getting to know group members at least a little. But he was wonderful to hang out with and he was extremely well informed and knowledgeable , passionate, and witty. Overall it was a terrific experience and adventure!

Sicily is an absolutely stunning destination - definitely recommend this trip for someone who has already seen the main cities in Italy and wants an easy way to get around the island. was an amazing tour manager who I wish I could have every trip and our driver was a legend too. The only two criticisms would be the night in Catania - it wasn’t really worth staying and it felt unsafe at times. An extra night in Taormina would be better. The second being that the hotel in Palermo was quite disgusting and dirty.

It was amazing. and were the best possible tour guides to take us around Europe. Every moment was packed full of excitement and adventure, and I would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat. I loved it and will always cherish the memories and friends I made on the trip.

A variety of sights to see from the bike on our excellently guided tour, including focus on different parts of the numerous chateaux we visited, plus the wine tastings, and boat ride. Great international group of fellow cyclists, with a mix of abilities including those on e-bikes. Nice breakfasts and ability to opt in / out of group evening meals too.
