Indochina Shopping Markets Trips

Ten days of beautiful scenery and fascinating history that took my wife and I from Ancient Rome to feudal lands and the renaissance. All brought to life by an excellent tour director and local guides. A Magnificent trip we will always remember.

I had a great time and loved the itinerary - although some of the walks differ from the Trip Notes - and nearly all the walks were considerably shorter distance than the Trip Notes (but plenty of ascent and descent made up for that to me). Bonus the hike up to Pico Riuvo has just been re-opened! We were the first Explore trip to do it since the wildfires closed the route two years ago. Our guide Joao was excellent and very knowledgable about the flora and fauna we saw (not all of it native)

Perfect tour of Madeira with quite different areas and walks every day. Cliffs, forests, mountains - and plenty of free time in Funchal. Well looked after and our guide had good knowledge on all aspects. All the little stops such as cafes were charming.

This is a fast-paced tour. Great for ticking off lots of locations and highlights and covering numerous countries. The optional experiences are all worth it and great value. It should be mentioned that "free" days are only usually a few hours, so make sure you chat with the guide to find out exactly how much free time you have. But the experiences they provide are worth it anyway.

It was fantastic! The only problem was there were too many activities one day in Rome. We saw the Vatican, had lunch then went to the Colosseum. There was a walking tour to see the fountains. The hotels where we stayed were excellent too. Overall it was an excellent trip and I certainly would use Trafalgar again.

Loved having 3 days each in Rome, Florence and Venice. Felt we got more of an emersion pin local culture and history this way. No rushing each morning to pack & get on the bus for a new destination each day.
