Middle East Beach Trips

The hotels that we stayed in were very nice. All the meals provided were above average. The itinerary for the tour hit all the high spots. Our Tour Manager was good however it was very difficult to understand her on the bus when she was speaking into the microphone. When you spoke one-on-one with her, it was not difficult to understand her. She was very accommodating in switching the tour around so that we could go to the cliffs. She was always able to recommend good restaurants in the towns that we were at. Our final night at Kings Court, Cabra Castle was really very special

All tourist sites that I visited and optional experiences that I chose were excellent. I especially enjoyed touring the cities of Sintra, Porto, Monsaraz, Nazare and Obidos. All of the On-Road Team personnel were professional, well organized, kept itinerary items on schedule, and kept moments light with humor to liven up the day.

I've recently completed the combined Corfu South and North walking trip along the Corfu trail. The walking was excellent with a mixture of walking through olive groves, coastal walking, and hilly terrain. Our guide Spiros was extremely passionate about the trail and caring for it and was a wealth of information. There were lots of opportunities to swim in the evenings though the October weather can be a little challenging. Accommodation and breakfasts were variable but generally OK. Spiros took us to some lovely establishments to enjoy the typical Corfu food which was very good. Overall a fantastic walking trip. Note that the south walks are a bit tougher due to the longer lengths.

With every trip I have done with Explore, the guides were excellent. Charlotte, the Greek island wander guide matches this excellence and then easily exceeds it. Because of how thorough, friendly and helpful she was, the trip was superb from end to end and for every detail. Even when I had free time, if I asked for information about what I planned to do, she was helpful. Every question was answered with a smile The trip itself was fantastic; a wonderful balance between tour led excursions, hikes and free time

As described, a lovely week of walking the corfu south trail. Spiros looks after everyone brilliantly and brings the trail to life with his stories and ensures the group stay together with lovely coffee and lunch stops

This was a great experience. An interesting variety of walks and a good balance between organised activities and free time to explore, swim, relax and dine out in Kas. The accommodation at Hideaway Hotel was perfect for the trip.
