Balkans National parks Trips

I had travelled with Explore many times in the past, and was always glad to go on another trip. This was my first one since 2017. The tour leader was really outstanding in every respect, being unfailingly cheerful and friendly, competent and energetic. The mostly fairly mature 15 group members were at least as likable, cheerful and co-operative as on any previous trip. The hectic itinerary packed a lot in. More trains next time!

Very likely First time on a bus trip I went in an open mind and was not disappointed.Had a great guide (Mary) very knowledgeable and personal. Looking to go another’s in the future

Tour was comprehensive and well planned with excellent tour director and driver. There was enough time to enjoy each of the pertinent parts of the national parks visited although some well known locations in certain national parks such as Zion could be hiked if given more time. There were some hiccups that happened during the tour but were professionally resolved and we managed to complete the tour without skipping any inclusions in the itinerary.

This is a great tour to let you sample what all these parks have to offer. It provides great moments to experience the parks but sometimes not maybe long enough but that’s the downside to seeing so many parks in such a short time.

The Baltics have a rich and complicated history and the area is well worth visiting. Our guide Leva whose home is in Latvia, knows the area extremely well and often took her private time to suggest and lead activities that were not on the official tour itinerary. Three beautiful countries, three languages, and three main religions all combined in a whirlwind tour.

The trip was excellent. I’ve not travelled with such a large group before so found that tricky at times but our leader Margareta managed the different elements in our Group expertly. Always ensuring everyone was included and informed of what we were doing.
