Milan Tours in Fall

Very knowledgeable tour guides, excellent hotels that were picked. Nice restaurants, I feel it was first class all the way. First time out of the country and my wife and I were extremely pleased we picked trafalgar. Thank you.

KRISTINS WAS A VERY EFFICIENT LEADER. HE WAS ALSO VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFULL. HE KEPT A CLOSE WATCH ON THE WEATHER FORECAST WHICH ENABLED HIM TO REARRANGE THE DAYS WALKING ACCORDINGLY.

The trip was wonderful from the excellent, capable and caring leader, well planned itinerary, beautiful scenery, great meals and hotel to the enjoyable hiking group. Kris, our leader, was open to flexibility on activity days when heavy rain was forecast on one of our walking days so he made that day our free day instead so that all of our walking days had some good weather, and he took an interest in the needs of all in our diverse group. He was a super guide! The scenery was spectacular, and the walks, sometimes challenging but always very doable…highly recommended.

This was a great holiday. The hotel was in a perfect location at the quieter northern end of Lake Como with beautiful views of the lake and the Alps. Walks were varied. Tour leader Kristians was excellent and the group all got on well.

The holiday was great, from the day we arrived until we departed. No-one wanted it to end. The group got on well and it would be nice to perhaps see some of them again on a future Explore trip. The hotel location was perfect and each day's itinerary was varied and interesting. The tour leader was excellent and worked hard to ensure everyone had a good experience.

Our first time on a group walking holiday. Explore did an excellent job with the arrangements, although finding T1 from T2 at Malpensa Airport proved more of a challenge than expected. Hotel was very comfortable with friendly staff. Waiting times at evening meals were occasionally a bit long. Our guide was excellent. He has a very good knowledge of the area, chose some excellent restaurants for non-scheduled evening meals and had the knack of keeping everyone moving combined with a keen sense of humour. The grading of the walking as "Moderate" was about right. For this trip, good quality fabric boots or trail shoes would have been fine. Walking poles recommended.
