East Asia Walking Trips

Could not fault our second Holliday with Explore. It was so good that within 12 hours of returning home we booked our third trip for the Spring next year and are planning at least one more for 2026.

An excellent holiday with an excellent leader. San Sebastián is a delightful small town with very few tourists. Our hotel was central and comfortable. The walks covered all that La Gomera offers, with the added bonus of a trip to the desert landforms below Mount Teide on Tenerife at the end. Raquel our leader was well- informed and enormously helpful. A lovely and sociable group was a bonus.

Trip was amazing! Only thing would be maybe spending more time in each location. The trade off would then be visiting fewer places or lengthening the trip, but I thought Fes was the best location since we were able to explore the city.

Good variation of walks so we saw very varied terrain, vegetation & views. All walks as described in the trip notes other than the one rainy day when the trip leader very wisely substituted what would have been a very wet walk for something kinder. Excellent trip leader. Accommodation all good.

This trip works well. Tenerife has lots of flights and so is very accessible. The ferry to La Gomera takes you away from mass tourism, and the island itself is varied and attractive. We had a great trip with varied walks and some nice meals out in the evening. The group got on well and the group leader/guide was excellent. An added bonus was the transatlantic rowing competition from La Gomera to Anguilla was taking place the following week so we had the opportunity to meet participants.

La Gomera is a quiet and very scenic island. Walks were often challenging with quite a few steep and rocky downhill paths, but some of the scenery was stunning. Very knowledgeable and helpful guide.
