Czech Republic and Romania Tours and Trips

Another wonderful trip with Explore! Our guide Rux was exceptional in every way and fitted in with group wonderfully. She's extremely knowledgeable and incredibly thoughtful and one of the best guides we've ever had! Thank you also to our wonderful driver Danil who kept us safe and tried to dodge some of the frustrating traffic. All the accommodation is well placed, clean and comfortable. If you're a light sleeper I recommend taking earplugs and an eye mask, especially for the home stay. The owners of the home stay are a lovely couple who welcome you into their home and really appreciate it if you try to speak Romanian. The trek is quite steep in places and a lot of people made use of the provided walking poles, the views of the surrounding area and the meadows are well worth the hard work. The history of this beautiful country is fascinating and if you're into architecture, you won't be disappointed! We were lucky to see two bears, one as we got to the hide and another whilst we were in there. TOP TIP... if you're using a camera find out how to turn the focus light off as bears are incredibly sensitive and seeing these can startle them meaning that you can't take photos. As vegetarians we were well catered for and didn't miss out on any of the gorgeous meals. Thank you to all of the group members who bonded really quickly on such a short trip and really made the holiday.

Enjoyed Jon taking us to the family winery, the dinner cruise and many other locations. Also appreciated the flexibility to spend 3 days with my daughter in Vienna and not be required to do everything according to the Tour intenrary. My daughter lives in Germany and was able to take a bus to the hotel in Vienna to spend time with me. My wife and friends. So many pictures and so many wonderful sites.

A great way to visit and experience wonderful Romania! The tour team - Elena, Lisa and Geo - were exceptional, ensuring the entire trip went smoothly, everyone had exactly what they needed to enjoy the experience and got the most out of the week. It was great to have tour leaders who were so knowledgeable about history, culture, geography, who were passionate about guiding and sharing their love of Romania and cycling, and had very good English, as well as being fun to travel with. The scenery was wonderful and the route ensured that each day we saw something special, as well as being away from traffic and able to really appreciate the countryside, and villages and towns. I would highly recommend this tour.

Our Tour Director was Fantastic and the Best Director i have had on all my Worldwide tours & Cruises - He paid attention to every detail for each of the 48 Members of our Tour Group

An amazing trip, and Rux, our guide, was exceptional! Don’t expect much downtime, but you will see some amazing sights and (hopefully) bears (I did!). The scenery is incredible, but be prepared for some long bus journeys.

This is a fantastic tour! It’s rich with history with excellent city tour guides! Each country’s cuisine is highlighted in locally chosen restaurants. All of the optional excursions further elevated the trip, especially all the boat cruises! And the salt mine in Poland is an absolute must see! I highly recommend this tour for all ages!
