Nicaragua and Spain Tours and Trips

I had such a fantastic time on this trip. The guide Jorges was passionate, knowledgeable and understanding to everyone. The places we stopped and the camaraderie we enjoyed on the Camino was down to the itinerary and the organisation of our guide. The trips structure was flexible and considerate of everyone’s needs, the guide was able to organise checkpoints throughout the day with the driver and people were able to skip parts if they had an injury or were finding it difficult. The local guides were very passionate and knowledgeable. I’d definitely recommend this trip if you’re wanting to do the Camino.

Nice overview of both countries and beautiful sites in several cities in Spain & Portugal. Vibrant city life & laid back country settings with olive trees, cattle & crops in the countryside. Busy itinerary with a fair amount of walking to see all.

Saw and experienced so many highlights, not only in the large cities, but also in small villages, such as a charming lunch in someone’s home. Was initially wary of the many optional excursions at additional cost, but they proved to be excellent opportunities and a good value. I don’t really feel that we missed much of what Spain and Portugal have to offer.

We had a great time in Sotches with Juan. - The walks were scenic - hotel was great. - food amazing - Juan is knowledgeable - Juan and Sonia his wife both share their love of the area, their family and home with us.

What a vacation! Relaxing, but thrilling at the same time. Explore have come up trumps with this trip.accomodation was awesome, varied each night a range of hotels, small family run guest houses to a manor house. All were spotless, with good facilities and a super team running each place. The trip was the right mix of challenge and relaxing. There are some long days of walking but the time flies in such beautiful countryside and time spent chatting to other pilgrims. The explore team on the trip were attentive and frankly brilliant, Lucas.our tour leader, did a great job looking after the teams needs in a totally relaxed way.His local knowledge and understanding of the environment we were walking through was invaluable and interesting.a great tour leader. Angela and Emma hosted tours of Leon and Santiago respectively. They were funny, engaging and oh so knowledgeable. We were so privileged to have them all. Us, a small group of seven, were of varying ages from late forties upwards, had an absolute ball. Each was able to find their own time, relax and find friendships which I believe will last. We laughed together and reflected together like old comrades. It was a life changing trip in so many ways. New friends, new experiences and some personal changes. Just perfect, thank you.

The itinerary was full of great places and experiences. Stacy, our TD and Jose, our driver, are the best team! They were very accommodating.. The dinner experiences were very good also.. some of the hotels were not the best but we understand they were the best choice according to location. We have been traveling with Trafalgar several times and always had a great experience. Cudos for Stacy and Jose.
