Eastern Europe Food Trips

Excellent, hit all the right spots. First walking tour of old Nice was depressing. Two nights minimum in hotels was great, gave time to breathe. Loved the Chateau, the 2cv cars, the boat rides. Would have been nice to learn to play pétanque.

Extremely immersive experience. My only criticism is that many of the hotels did not have proper standing showers only bathtubs with handheld nozzles, and we expected a walk-in shower with a permanently fixed shower nozzle, from a land tour that theoretically should be putting us up in four star and five star accommodations.

A wonderful tour of the main sights of Sicily (and there are a lot!). It's an amazing place to visit. Hotels really well located. Antonio is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, coupled with huge enthusiasm and great organisational skills. Perfect choices of restaurants for group meals. We have travelled with Explore for many years and all tour leaders have been excellent, but he is certainly one of the best we have ever had. It's a particular bonus that he is the tour guide everywhere as well as the tour leader.

Excellent holiday- the scenery is stunning. This walking tour is marked Leisurely/Moderate but I think all the walks were moderate, because the terrain is challenging at times. Walking poles & good supportive boots are a must. That being said, our amazing guide Satva ensured the whole group walked within their capabilities, offering alternatives if anyone felt the whole walk wasn’t for them. Satva helped to create a wonderful group experience, she is fun, caring & has a great singing voice! I would definitely recommend her as an amazing tour leader. I throughly enjoyed myself.

You will see things off the beaten trail, who knew there was an amphitheater in southern France still in use that rival's the one in Rome and is still used for bullfighting! In France! You won't miss the main attractions and you will do it door to door with guided service at every stop. Don't worry be happy! Our guide even took the time to purchase little treats that were local to the place where we stopped to give us a taste of the area specialty.

Our guide Erica and driver Paul made the trip enjoyable, smoothly run and informative. We saw a lot in a short time - the additional experiences and local guides and entertainers were great. We were lucky to be travelling with an inclusive and social group of people from all over the world and had a great experience all around.
