South Africa and Spain Tours and Trips

It hit a majority of highlights of Spain and Portugal. Patrick our tour guide I believe made a big difference He added so much to the itinerary with his stories and information about each stop.

Insights trip to Spain and Portugal was indeed the best. First class accommodations, motor travel, silted, tours unique stops and the food. Our travel director and tour bus drivers the best I have experienced in 20 years of travel.

Well balanced with a mixture of history, culture, geography, local sites and traditions and well paced with a number of two night stops and a couple of restful days in the Costa del Sol. The optional tours were mostly enjoyable. I would change the Cascais trip to perhaps Sintra. The hotels were of a good standard but the included dinners in Madrid and Barcelona ( maybe my choices) were average.

Bianca is an exceptional tour leader and extremely well organised so our trip ran very smoothly ... full of fun, knowledge and laughter. We had a brilliant trip made even more so as Bianca always went the extra mile for each of us, both jointly and individually, at every opportunity. She is obviously held in high affection by all the contacts at each location. A truly memorable trip, possibly the best I have been on with Explore.

The Garden Route was jam packed with wonderful experiences, without being rushed. Plenty of time to relish the beautiful scenery between stops. The food and accommodation were all excellent. Above all our tour guide was superb, keeping us informed and engaged so we got the most from our experience. This was a real treasure.

The trip worked really well, we managed to see and do loads of things in South Africa given we were only there for a week. We had an excellent tour guide, who honestly made the trip 1000 times better. It felt like he genuinely wanted us to have the best time away. The highlight was obviously the safari day which was planned perfectly and I loved the fact we got to go to two game reserves within one day.
