Europe Walking Trips

I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. I experienced the Amalfi Coast in a much more intimate setting yet seeing much much more of the coast than I ever anticipated, thanks to our excellent and caring guide, Gennaro. The hikes were challenging but Gennaro was excellent in helping me to adjust to the pace that I needed. The views everyday were well worth the amount of steps I had to climb. The hotel staff was excellent and nice to have a quiet town to return to each evening away from the large tourist crowds in each town.

This was a fantastic holiday. The Amalfi coast is beautiful and fascinating! Our tour leader, Gennaro, was very knowledgeable and full of enthusiasm about the area and was a pleasure to spend time with. The hotel was lovely and the family who run it were very friendly and helpful.

Gaia, was an amazing guide!! Very knowledgeable and informative, very upbeat and funny, she was a breath of fresh air, I looked forward to daily hikes and what the day entails, she had a great attitude to get all of the best out of all the hiker’s every day. She is treasure for the Explore travel team. Thanks for a wonderful visit to one of the most amazing places in the world.

A superb location and some stunning scenery on the walks. Our guide Gaia was fun and informative and made sure that all the group enjoyed the holiday. She was great. If you have difficulty with steps this is not the holiday for you !

We loved this trip. It has a full and varied itinerary. Our tour leaders took such good care of us with snacks and drinks and even made dinner reservations for us if we needed. We didn't have to worry about a thing. The walks were challenging for us but they were well worth it and allowed us to see so much more of Ireland than we would have seen on our own. Experienced guides took us on the hikes and city walking tours and gave us interesting information about what we were seeing.

This was an excellent trip in two beautiful countries. The hotel in Helsinki was a bit out of town and quite basic although close to a tram to reach town centre. Helsinki exceeded my expectations and the walks were lovely and could benefit from an extra day here. We could have done with some extra time to explore Turku so perhaps have a trip solely in Finland. The “ferry” to the Åland islands was an experience - it was more like a mini cruise. The islands were beautiful and lots to see and do. Stockholm is also an interesting city to visit and perhaps an extra day here to do an urban green walk would be useful. Our tour guide Toni was exceptional and he provided invaluable insight into life in the Nordic region and was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area. We had a great driver in Roman too. I would definitely recommend this trip. My tip would be do not bring any Swedish krone as very few shops/ restaurants take cash!
