Middle East Art architecture Trips

Our tour leader Tra was brilliant - very knowledgeable, friendly and aways went the extra mile to help us have the best possible experience. All accomodation and transportation was handled expertly. The destinations were well chosen and helped us to see a huge variety of local culture and history.

This was an excellent trip that exceeded my expectations. Our tour leader, Long, was excellent providing flawless organisation with an encyclopedic knowledge of Vietnam and Cambodia. The agenda made good use of the time to combine a wide variation of visits and activities. I was also fortunate to be with a great group of people which made the holiday more enjoyable still.

A very well organised trip taking in the varied geographical and historical sites of Laos. The cruise on the Mekong, waterfalls and Luang Prabang national museum were highlights for us. We had a young and enthusiastic tour leader Toy who looked after us very well. Pre-tour, Explore kept us informed of the changes and their staff were always very polite and well trained. Extend your stay in Luang Prabang if you have the time as it is a charming old capital city by the Mekong with two-storey Laotian and French buildings.

Excellent arrangements starting from the hotel Ramses Hilton to the Nile cruise ( 3/4 days should be enough) 7 days not required although we did. Excellent sightseeing and history through our Tour Director/ Guide Sharif. Wonderful group of people and small group of 19 that bonded extremely well.

A very well-organised tour from beginning to end. Breakfast at most places had plenty of choice, and having some lunches and dinners included was excellent and made everything so convenient. We really appreciated the little extras along the way — things like the horse ride around the city, free time to explore, and stops at local shops known for their regional produce all added something special to the experience. The guides were incredibly informative and took great care of us, and by the end felt more like friends than guides. We made wonderful memories and would happily recommend this tour. A bit more information about the optional additional tours would have been helpful, as some were different than expected, and it would have been nice if tickets to certain sites, like the palaces in Sintra, were included.

An absolutely fantastic tour! Everything was so well organised, with great breakfast options at most places and some delicious lunches and dinners included — which made everything easy and stress-free. The guides were amazing: super knowledgeable, genuinely caring, and by the end felt like close friends. We had the best time, made unforgettable memories, and couldn’t recommend this tour more! Oumaima, our guide was wonderful — so knowledgeable, spoke English really well and always happy to answer our many questions. Most importantly, they truly cared about our safety and wellbeing, which made us feel relaxed and confident the whole time.
