Our tour leader was excellent - he was able to deal with any problem professionally and efficiently. He also went out of his way with extra material/information. We had a person on our tour who didn't listen so his work load was made extra demanding by having to repeat information several times.

A great break in the deep south of Bulgaria near the Greek border. Seeing the old cold war border fence between USSR and Greece and hearing about its history was one of many personal highlights. Such a variety of wildlife and flowers all there to be experienced.

Rux was a superb tour guide, so knowledgeable, entertaining, enthusiastic and caring. She really looked after us and went the extra mile to cater for everyone. She made the tour and is an excellent ambassador for Explore.

This was our 8th tour with Explore and as always we thoroughly enjoyed the trip. It introduced us to Andalucia in a very compact package that rewarded us with many memorable excursions, that gave us a good overview of the region and previously unheard of cities (Ronda). Our guide Lidia was wonderful, very well organised and she always ensured we all knew when and where we needed too be and it worked. We had the company of a great group which always helps and everyone worked well together. If there are any downsides then perhaps an extra day in Cordaba even the inclusion of Cadiz would have added to the adventure but I guess that affects pricing and time so you can't have it all. This has been a great trip and I would thoroughly recommend it

Brilliant long weekend, the highlight being seeing 3 brown bears ! Amazing experience! The pace was full on, with long days and lots of walking, but this was stated in the itinerary, so there were no surprises there. Our leader, Rux, was fantastic, booked us into lovely restaurants. Her knowledge of the Romanain Royal Family and the histories of all the castles we visited was amazing!! Top marks for retaining all that knowledge!!
Irene | Traveled in May
The trip to Romania was amazing. Highly recommend. Razvan and Geo were great. Our safety, enjoyment and comfort were their priority at all times. I was a bit worried about dogs running out at us but 90 % of them weren't interested , and with the few that were, Razvan and Geo knew just how to deal with them and they shooed away easily. We learnt a lot about Romanian social and political culture and visited some great places on the itinerary. If you have an extra day in Bucharest I recommend the outdoor museum , allow the best part of a day for this.
