Mediterranean Walking Trips

This trip exceeded my expectations, probably helped by the glorious week of autumn sunshine, showcasing the best of Lake Como. The hotel is excellent with very attentive staff and the location is stunning with glorious views from my bedroom balcony across the northern lake. Gravedonna is a laid back lake shore town with a more local vibe than some its more famous neighbours, like Bellagio and Varenna, so a superb base for Como exploration. Our guide (Kristians) was top-class, very caring and informative and a pleasure to travel with. The walks are very scenic with spectacular views across the Lake. The walking is possibly a little 'tame' for the trip grade, but hugely enjoyable all the same. The use of public transport is excellent and travelling by local buses and boats really added to the experience.

A Really good trip. Weather was bad at the start of the trip and we missed one of the walks. Itinerary had to be changed around our Guide Smaro was great and looked after everyone. Crete was amazing and food was piled high, A salad could be a main meal at the size of it. A great Holiday with a good group.

My best Explore holiday to date. The walking was fantastic and I mean all the walks, the views, the sea, and the weather. Nebil the guide was excellent, knowledgeable and fun. The food as expected was very good. I will go back and undertake the Lycian way.

Walks were varied & were done in a logical manner with easier ones first gradually increasing in length & severity. All the walks were capable of being done by an experienced walker. Our guide, Bert, was very knowledgeable & also ensured that all the guests were comfortable going at their own pace.

We were blessed with sunny weather and as it was towards the end of the main tourist season the roads. paths and ferries were not as busy. The walks were varied and as it was autumn the colours in the woods we walked through were stunning. We saw a lot of the local area from a variety of view points sometimes using a coach, bus or ferry to get to the starts of our walks. The leader Kristians Lunins was excellent, very professional. thorough, aware of the groups needs and responded to them. He kept us informed as to what was happening when and where, what we needed to take etc. Kristians was also great company. He made it be lovely memorable holiday to look back on in the winter months.

Very enjoyable holiday. Roscío was an excellent, knowledgeable guide and kept us well informed and looked after us throughout. She went the extra mile to help us with any arrangements for our free day and to book restaurants if we wanted for the evenings. The walks were varied and interesting including beach walks, countryside walks, waterfall and national park walk where we saw beautiful flamingoes. Whilst listed as leisurely, please note the details of length and ascent of the walks, as they are not a flat stroll and some parts were a bit of a slog especially in the hot sun. The hotel was excellent with enjoyable varied buffet breakfasts and well placed for a short stroll into the lovely town of Tavira.
