Europe Wine tasting Trips

Personal touch where we are able to go and meet local people and see how they live. We were at small local farm to see cheese being made and pizza being cooked in fire oven. Later dinner at the farm was very enjoyable.

The tour was excellent. The choice of cities was outstanding. Our guide. Elena is totally amazing. Her knowledge of each city and all the events was incredible. Simone, the bus driver is an incredible driver and kept us safe the entire tour. Although it’s a quick pace tour, there was no problem for older adults to keep up. The optional tours were definitely worth the money. The experts tour guides were amazing. My only complaint is the first hotel in Rome in my opinion was not up to the level of all others.

The cycling was graded as "easy" and I was pleased that was indeed the case as I had never done a cycling holiday with Explore before. The group of 16 looked rather daunting at first, but we all got on really well together and had good fun, especially all mucking in to make an unexpected barbecue in the grounds of our accommodation. The accommodation was appropriate for the places and areas where we were, and the tour leader organised everything well to see the most interesting places, have good meals and a wine-tasting, and stop for appropriate breaks. The "optional" harder day was the most enjoyable, the beautiful scenery and stunning village of Minerve more than making up for the uphill ride.

I can’t say enough positively about Erwin, who was always aware of us and available for questions. He was always patient with us and writing us to cycle safely. He’s an excellent guide tour guide to leader Good mix of we 16 cyclists I’m glad I had an E-bike as I could not without a lot of strain on my 82-year-old legs with bilateral knee replacements cycle up the long Hills

Lots of opportunities to experience the country, culture, and people. The guides are knowledgeable, and the venues we visited were wonderful. Our tour director worked very hard to make it very enjoyable.

Erwin was great tour leader who went over and above to ensure the group and individuals had a fab experience. The cycle routes were well planned, social evenings were fun and we finished the week with a swim in the Med!!
