Balkans Tours in December 2027

Africa is amazing!!!! We were very pleased with Collette… especially with our tour Manager. Rudy was excellent at his job; full of knowledge, advice, and he took great care of us. Every aspect of this trip was incredible.

A great tour, something amazing every day. The tour is full on, early starts and not a lot of free time, but you get to see the best of Jordan in a short time. Excellent tour leader. Lunch, evening meals, and regular stops when travelling did push up the overall cost of the holiday, single meals including a soft drink worked out around £20.

Although busy, the itinerary gave us an excellent overview of all that Japan has to offer - history, shrines/temples, gardens and the contrast between traditional and modern Japan. At the same time there were opportunities to follow up our own interests and explore by ourselves. Our guide, Henrik, was brilliant - nothing was too much trouble, he cared for our welfare and was very knowledgeable about history, customs etc. He always offered options for our free time and/or made suggestions and guided us to find our own way when that was our preference. Explore made a point of using public transport wherever possible so we experienced a range of different types - Henrik was always on hand to lead or guide us so that we navigated the system and ticketing with ease.

Amazing adventure. I truly enjoyed the trip, The itinerary was great and our guide , Oz , was very helpful and knowledgeable . The only bad point was some hotels were basic and not very clean. Overall I recommend this trip .

Really enjoyed this tour. Our guide Jackie was superb, well organised and always positive. One of the best Explore guides we've ever had! I would slightly change the itinerary on the first day in Vientiane. I would include the Buddha Park as part of the itinerary and go straight there for lunch from the Victory Gate rather than have a 45 minute break at the hotel, as it was too rushed at the Buddha Park.

Incredible trip! This itinerary is well crafted to show off all Southern India’s highlights; from tea plantations, temple cities, sleepy coastal towns, wildlife and houseboats to all the friendly locals! Biju, our guide was stand-out with his incredible depth of knowledge and insight into his home state of Kerala as well as the whole of India, he really did make the trip! Vinod, our driver was impeccable navigating the twisty roads of the Western Ghats with precision. All in all, a once-in-a-lifetime trip that I will never forget! Highly recommend.
