Mediterranean Tours in Fall

We added a day at the beginning to do Lima, which is worth a visit. Accomodation varied, was expecting it to be all 5*, but although everything very clean, and hotel staff very friendly, it could be a bit cold without heating in smaller hotels. Your leader, Darwin, excellent, full of enthusiasm for the history of Peru, and our itinerary was rearranged to ensure we didn't miss Machu Picchu despite industrial action there. Be prepared for cold mornings and hot days in some areas in September. Overall, exceeded my expectations, and well worth a visit.

It’s active but full of wonderful sights, great food and wonderful new friends. Nathan McBain was a Super Tour Guide and Rachid in Morocco was wonderful. Would recommend this tour to anyone.

Fantastic way to experience Portugal and see the diverse terrain. From cosmopolitan to country, hilly cobblestoned streets to winding mountainous pavement, hustle and bustle of larger cities to the quaint quiet villages and vineyards, all offering fantastic scenery, food, friendly people and of course wine! Additionally, the coach was extremely comfortable with plenty of legroom (40 of us on board). Absolutely loved every minute. And if that wasn't enough, we were blessed with the world's greatest tour guide and coach driver - Helder and Alfredo!

What an epic adventure! Some of which must be attributed to our excellent tour guide Joe, who was assisted throughout the trip by great and friendly support staff at the camp sites and lodges. The number of animals and diverse birdlife seen totally exceeded expectations. There's a lot of travelling and camping without home comforts, however we felt this was made very clear in the holiday notes and in some ways added to the experience in a positive way. A special mention should also go out to William, Pape & Carlos who some how churned out a succession of really good three course meals just using a camp fire!

I loved the trip! It was a great Experience and I would use Explore again! Magdalena was the best! Everything went very smoothly! Magdalena was very knowledgeable. Her recommendations enhanced our experience! I would only eliminate the Protos tasting. The smaller more intimate tastings were a lot of fun and I feel gave us a more real experience!

My partner and I very much enjoyed the entire trip and the itinerary. The tour director was very knowledgeable for the history of all the places we visited and was always ahead of the planning and timing and attention to everyones needs was incredible. The coach driver was incredible.
