Mediterranean Group Tours

Fantastic walking holiday. The leader Matteo Giordan was lovely. Very knowledgeable, helpful, well organised & conscientious , & made everyone feel included-he made the holiday. He set up the group info app first thing so we all had information, meeting times etc easily available. -It also provided an easy platform for sharing photos! He included some lovely local activities like visiting a farm to understand more about their annual schedule & arranged a local homecooked traditional meal at his parents farm which was delicious!

Dubai pre tour was fabulous.Grest guides and accommodations.Travel by Emirates Business Class was incredible.Tour guide and accommodations were excellent.The Tlou Lodge in Chobe was only fair though this was out of Collette control due to fire at usual place.All other tours guides and add one were incredible. game drives and sunset river rides were fantastic .Air travels in Africa were smooth.Cape town and wine regions were excellent.We also enjoyed our 2 day extra stay in Cape Town at the end .Overall the bucket list trip was fully realized.

Awesome weather, views and walking routes, stops and time to explore. Excellent tour guide, local knowledge, able to answer all questions, great briefings. Made the whole group welcome. Perfect accommodation, and food. Great base and easy bus or boat trips to start / end. Low season is a wonderful time to explore Amalfi coast, valleys, history and agriculture. No crowds. Great suprises of food and local people to introduce aspects of the local food, farming and music culture. Walking the paths and lots of steps is rewarding in this beautiful natural environment with a feast of architecture and views.

Best of Ghana was a very interesting trip. Lots to see and do, it’s a “full on” experience. Our guide, Oscar, was knowledgeable and patient. The tour wasn’t a 5 star luxury / perfect tour, but I would absolutely recommend it.

Enjoyed the pasta factory tour and lunch, as well as the changes in venue, from the business of Rome to relaxing Sorento and Stressa. Did not feel the experience for Murano glassblowing met my expectation; thought there would be more explanation of the skills of glassblowing & techniques. While making a purchase was asked which tour manager I was with, which implies they are getting a commission for sales. While in Stressa, a few people wanted to take the excursion to see the Alps, felt they were being pressured not to do it, but those who went really had a good time. Busdriver was also excellent, accomodating, and kind. When arriving in a new hotel, having a little more time to freshen up for dinner would be nice, did not feel appropriately dressed for dinner after traveling all day.

This is one of the best trips I have been on with Explore in a beautiful country. The guide was excellent, the walks were good, lots of wildlife and visits to some of the main sites in Sri Lanka. Would thoroughly recommend although the steps up and down to Adam’s Peak were challenging and there were plenty of leeches on some of the walks.
