Holland and Romania Tours and Trips

This is a tough week (and I've done Kilimanjaro/TMB/Toubkal). Don't underestimate it. Someone told me that in Romania the trails just go straight up - no zigzags and they really do! The ascents one the first two days are quite technical scrambles /climbs and the descents are absolutely knee-wrecking. So be ready for that and you'll have a fabulous time!

This was a great 'taster' tour - our first. We enjoyed it all and realised how much time we waste working things out ourselves. So we now want to experience some of Trafalgar's regional tours and have every confidence the tour directors will have taken care of all the details. This includes my gf meals! Never thought I would say this but a little longer free time will be nice, on a less compact tour, to visit some places that have been recommended by friends.

An interesting tour, covering both the expected (the Dracula et al) and other less popular but interesting sites. Our leader was very knowledgeable too, with a good recall of important historical dates and people. Only negative was a bus with not so much leg room, especially for the 6 footers.

It was a full on experience.Starting off with breakfast each morning,then off on our journey into Germany, with a cruise in the Rhineland.From there into Switzerland with a meal including Swiss fondue.Exploring Lucerne,then off to magical Paris.our travel director was Excellent with a wealth of knowledge from the past and future.I would thoroughly recommend this short full of ancient history tour to everyone

Beautiful trip with knowledgeable guide. Walking over the first saddle with the cows and the ringing bells was very very special. The views from the Ridgeline were absolutely gorgeous, as was the gorge. Parts felt a bit rushed, especially the Bucharest time but understandable with the larger group in busy places. It's well worth having a couple of extra days in Bucharest to experience the city. Overall an amazing trip. Lots of delicious food, and fantastic with catering for gluten free across the whole trip! The Guide was fantastic for communicating with the locals, organizing everything and ensuring tips were taken care of. Fantastic to have so much additional information for all of the places we visited as well as for the walks themselves.

We thoroughly enjoyed our cycling holiday in Romania. The tour was fully in line with the sales pitch on the Explore website. We really got to discover the country: sleepy rural villages, to historic fortified town, sweeping landscapes, rugged mountains. Our guide, Raz, was full of knowledge about history, culture, religion and nature, and throughout the trip helped us to pull together a rich insight into the country of Romania. The cycling was good fun. The accomodation was comfortable (the odd dog barking at night, but given that we were in the countryside to be expected).
