East Africa Sightseeing Trips

I’ve had a wonderful week - challenging at times but so worth the effort. Hotel was sweet with friendly staff. The local restaurants were very good too . Liz was a really fantastic guide - attentive, kind and extremely knowledgeable of the local area.

Itinerary on the whole was excellent, in particular loved the boat trip on the Danube, excursion to Novi Sad and the Rila Monastery. There were however a few occasions, notably Corvin Castle and to a lesser degree, the Rila Monastery, where I would have loved more time. Possibly on those days, an earlier start might have been beneficial. Also not seeing the inside of Peles Castle was a huge disappointment. Effort needs to be put in, to ensure the problems getting tickets are not repeated for future travellers. Tudor our tour guide, however was amazing, very knowledgeable, couldn't have asked for better.

We could not have asked for a better group leader than Tudor Blaj. His knowledge of history and birds was phenomenal, he was always courteous, well organised and aware of everyone`s needs. His knowledge of English was better than many Brits and his sense of humour was never far away. Our driver, Dan, could not have been more helpful or cheerful, they worked well as a team and we all felt vey well looked after. An excellent trip, highly recommended.

It was a great trip. It was fast paced but considering that we had to cover three countries in 15 days, it certainly was well organized. Our trip leader, Tudor was very knowledgable and personable. He was also a good leader and added to the enjoyment of the trip. Most hotels were comfortable and well placed in the cities and places that we visited. Found that we had enough time to ourselves and were able to explore areas of interest on our own. It was my first trip with Explore and I would certainly recommend it to my friends.

It was very good! So many wonderful sights to see every day, on and off the bus! The first 2 hotels could have had a bit better breakfast. Our travel director, Scott Smiley, and Ray the bus driver were both excellent!

Great itinerary and super knowledgeable tour guide, Tyson. I would have never been able to see or experience our beautiful National Parks without engaging Trafalgar as my tour company. Great job Trafalgar!
