Balkans Active outdoor Trips

Although the itinerary was excellent it was somewhat marred by road conditions - slow progress through roadworks and excessive dust. We had the same driver for the whole tour and he was excellent. Our guide was generally very good but sometimes things did get lost in translation. It wasn’t listed in the itinerary but 3 of us did the brewery tour which was a short walk from the Riverside Resort. The beer and the tour were excellent Bandipur was a total delight even though it was very cold.

Fabulous trip with an excellent guide. Taylor was very knowledgeable and great company to be with in New Zealand. She added extra bits into the itinerary to help us see more of New Zealand. Only minor critique would be to allow more time in the itinerary in Dunedin if possible but that’s only a small thing. Overall the itinerary is good and allows you to see a great deal of the country and to get a really good feel for the place. Would highly recommend.

This was definitely the trip of a lifetime! Belize provided everything from jungle wildlife to Mayan temples and the most incredible snorkelling of our lives. We swam with a manatee, a mantaray, sharks, eagle rays and all kinds of other wonderful sea life. From the remote beauty of tiny Tobacco Caye to the fun, chilled vibe of Caye Caulker, and the magical wildlife including frogs, snakes (an enormous vine snake - don't worry, it wasn't poisonous), hummingbirds, and bats of the rainforest at TREES, we all absolutely loved this trip and will remember our Explore experience forever.

We had an amazing time on our Cycle Saigon to Hanoi trip with Explore with an excellent local guide and support team . The itinerary provided the perfect opportunity to explore the towns, cities, villages and stunning countryside of Vietnam ranging from renowned tourist sites to local village markets. Vietnam is a fabulous country to explore by bike, and I strongly recommend the Cycle Saigon to Hanoi trip.

The trip was great and our tour leader Woody made it an unforgettable experience. Very varied itinerary, good mix of temples, ruins, culture, wildlife and nature, history, contact to locals, markets and food. Only the optional Thai cooking course was not offered in Chang Mai which was a pity, it would be good if that could be integrated into the tour.

I totally agreed with the feedback left by Robert (CAN) However also just wanted to say a massive thank you to Binh, like everyone else has mentioned, he is friendly, approachable, goes out of his way to help, even with information on how to get your laundry done cheaply/quickly. Will walk with you if you need to visit a pharmacy. Provide local snacks for you to try. And protect you from monkeys (I was worried about cycling past one, he was very understanding and cycled next to me). Ensured we stopped regulary to hydrate. Our tour was over the Christmas, so Binh even arranged a fun Christmas eve activity. His sense of humour, smile and laugh is infecious. As well as his constent thirst for learning. He would also help hotel staff, in explaining breakfast times and amenities, and pass on his knowledge to other tour guides in Cambodia. This was my 1st ever tour, Binh has set the bar very high. Thank you Binh, 100/100, 5 stars :-)
