Balkans Hot springs Trips

This was my first solo trip and my first time using Explore! It was a brief tour but it allowed me to get accustomed to the tour experience. Our tour leader, Einar, was exceptional. He made the trip both educational and entertaining. Einar shared his Icelandic heritage graciously and answered all of our questions with kindness. Our group was a wonderful mixture of ages and personalities and we blended very well. We even got to see the Northern Lights! 😊 I highly recommend this tour and look forward to my next adventure with Explore!

I would recommend this trip to anyone considering it! There’s no way I could have planned such an amazing trip and fit so much into 10 days! Our guide Jose has been amazing, he absolutely made our trip and I can’t imagine how it could have been improved. He is completely organised, considerate and brings a fun energy to the trip that made the whole experience an unforgettable one! He is so knowledgeable about all things Costa Rica and his recommendations were always fantastic. He absolutely went above and beyond to make sure we had the trip of a lifetime and I can’t thank him enough 🫶🏻

Jose was a brilliant tour guide on the Costa Rica Gals Who Travel. As soon as we met Jose, he was so friendly and welcoming. Always approachable if you needed any help and brought such a positive energy to the trip. His recommendations were great and was very knowledgeable about all places in Costa Rica we visited. He was also great at spotting wildlife from sloths to whales! I would definitely go on another tour with Jose as the guide. The overall trip had a great mix of included excursions and extras from night safari to an island tour. It’s a great way to explore Costa Rica!

Jose was great fun, it was lovely to see the local spots from a local himself. It was also nice to have a male figure on the Gals who travel trip as it made us all feel a lot safer. The whole process was smooth and it was great not to have to think about anything logistical!

It was an amazing experience. Everything was so well organised and thought out. It was so helpful having a local guide who knew all the best spots and recommendations for us. The accommodation was lovely and all the activities were really fun. I've made so many memories!!!

Had the best time ever!!! Our guide José was amazing. He really made our experience unforgettable. Not only was he really knowledgeable and helpful but he was so much fun too!! He was kind and respectful to everyone and made us feel so safe. Couldn’t ask for better
