Mediterranean Mountains Trips

Great itinerary and good attention to detail. All the reservations were made ahead to time to make it a seamless trip. The tour director was fantastic, he we helpful and had great information sessions on our drives. He paid attention to all the details and we were always attended to and felt like we were honored guests. The hotels were good and the bus driver was terrific and very safe. The bus was clean and in great shape. I would highly recommend Insight Tours.

Wonderful week led by our excellent guide Felipe.Great variety of walks,peaceful levadas and some challenging ascents and descents with stunning views. Felipe was very professional and considerate to all our group members.His knowledge of Madeira was excellent. Thank you Felipe and Explore!

This trip took me to some parts of Georgia that would be extremely hard to access as a solo traveller. The walking was fabulous, despite several walks being cut short by excessive snow lying much lower than typical for June. The views made up for this, as we were extremely lucky with predominantly dry weather while we were in Svaneti. The accommodation was homely and I felt lucky to experience Ushguli before it becomes more accessible and spoiled. I regret not adding a few days in Tbilisi before or after the trip. While most of the food was delicious I wouldn’t recommend this trip to vegans or people unable to eat wheat, as in the remote areas there is very little choice and bread, eggs and cheese are staples at every meal.

A wonderful chance to explore a fairly remote, fascinating and very beautiful part of Georgia. Excellent, satisfying and sometimes challenging hiking. Omar was an outstanding guide and leader. He took great pains throughout to ensure our individual comfort and safety and to introduce us to a wide range of Georgian history and culture. He was throughout patient and good humoured.

What an amazing week, filled with challenging hikes (well, challenging for me) and gorgeous scenery everywhere. JuanJo, our guide and fearless leader, took such good care of us, helping fix hiking poles, patch blisters and arranging for alternate transport when some of us needed a break from hiking for an afternoon here or there. The food was hearty (and filling!) and featured local dishes and produce --and the wine flowed freely too. The mid-week trip to Potes was a nice change of scene, with the opportunity to wander around the town on our own and then meet up for dinner afterwards. JuanJo did a wonderful job of conveying the magic of the region -- the trip is highly recommended! Just make sure your boots fit well and you're in decent shape -- this is not just an easy walking holiday! But it's absolutely worth it.

The guide was excellent, very experienced and knowledgeable. The hotel was very good and food was delicious and full of local produce and specialities. The daily hikes/ walks were stunningly beautiful. Some of the hikes were remote and it felt as if we were the only hikers, which was very special!
