Last Minute East Africa Tours and Trip Deals

We really enjoyed Malta and Sicily trips. All guides at sites visited were v knowledgeable and informative; both tour leaders, Chantelle and Daniele, were enthusiastic and went to great lengths to make our trip the best possible, and we had some interesting and fun fellow travellers. Thanks very much.

Our favorite day started at Pisa then we had a cooking class and meal at La Piaggia Anctico Casale with Paco (family member) as our teacher/guide. This experience on a Tuscan farm was outstanding. Paco's family owns the farm, and all family members contributed to making it our best day. Overall, Collette did a great job and our tour guide, Federico, could not have been better!

The tour was excellent. All of our stops were interesting and the tour guides were great. The bus driver did a great job of moving that big bus through some tight areas. My favorite tour was Oxford University. We had a very good tour guide and it was very interesting to me

The Murcia tour was a good cycling itinerary through mostly rural Spain. Miguel was an excellent guide and gave generously of his time. The areas visited had few tourists which was nice but also resulted in fewer options for dining. We were rained out of our first day of cycling which is unavoidable, but I think spending the first day visiting Murcia would have been more interesting than Caravaca and would have not disrupted the flow of the trip.

We have just returned from Jordan which exceeded our expectations. The tour had been well planned so that we saw and experienced the amazing sites and scenery . Petra was stunning , the first glimpse of the Treasury was breathtaking as were the hikes up to The Monastery and the End of the world coffee bar. Floating on the Dead Sea was soothing and relaxing and camping in Wadi Rum, looking up at the stars and feeling the stillness was a memorable experience. The hotels were comfortable and well placed and our tour guide Abdallah was kind and knowledgeable with a quick sense of humour and endless patience. He was very happy to answer any questions! I would absolutely recommend travelling to Jordan with Explore as this was one of our best trips.

The Torphichen dinner was absolutely the best! Family style, singing, drinking, piping and cry-in-your-beer stories by Kenny. The next absolute best was Neal and the sheep station. Incredible dogs made the sheep dance ballet! Neal is a stitch! Warm and gruff showed how to hypnotize sheep in 5 seconds for shearing. Great story telling and dog training advice. I loved the experience of personally shearing sheep. Brooke the tour director was so much fun and accomodating, an absolute delightful person.
