Central America Walking Tour Reviews
Real traveler feedback from Walking tours across Central America
Sarah | Traveled in May
As a first-time traveller with Explore, I was very impressed. Our tour leader was fantastic - professional, approachable, and full of local knowledge. He kept everything running smoothly while creating a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere for the group. A memorable trip.
Amanda | Traveled in May
Excellent holiday with Explore. Well organised, as described with comfortable accommodation. I’ve seen previous reviews that said there were bedbugs at the village stay. There weren’t any. My daughter, an entomologist, checked and there were a few harmless shield bugs in the room, which we suspect someone misidentified. The village stay was spotlessly clean, the family hospitable and the food excellent. The holiday was made extra special by our guide, Nebil. He was incredibly knowledgeable about both ancient and modern Turkish history, a huge animal lover who thrives in the natural world. He kept a very mixed group very happy and had built great relationships along the trail meaning we had great places to stop and have a Turkish tea, a cooling ice cream or an evening meal. I can highly recommend this trip.
Shona | Traveled in May
Fantastic walking in springtime Crete, wildflowers all around. There were only 4 of us ( where were you all) but we all got on well and had similar walking stamina. There were only highlight for me was the Soumaria gorge, from the sea upwards. Felt suitably tired but very pleased with myself at the end! The tour leader, Alex was great, very knowledgeable about the history of Crete and a keen walker himself. The Cretan people we met were lovely and the food, predictably was fantastic.
David | Traveled in May
The trip was a memorable experience led by a fantastic guide . We covered a huge area and at times the walking uphill was quite challenging however the views were well worth the effort. Our guide was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and patient and local guides were also great. Our group was mixed ages and nationalities but we all gelled together with a common interest in the country. Already planning to do another trip

The tour was well organized. We enjoyed seeing all the different sights from the sheep herding dog to the castles. Our tour guide and driver were excellent, very informative and personable.
Sue | Traveled in May
A fast paced tour, with plenty of walking. Our leader Andreas was excellent, always going out of his way to book extra activities for group if needed during free time and giving suggestions. He was passionate about Portugal, enthusiastic, extremely well organised and looked after all needs in the group brilliantly.
