Scandinavia Active and outdoor Trips

From day one I knew that this explore trip would be good. There was just seven of us in the group and we seemed to click immediately Do Huy Hung was our group leader, he was fun informative and his knowledge of the history of Vietnam the flora and fauna wherever we went was truly amazing. The highlights for me was the Pu long nature reserve and the surrounding villages, and the Mekong delta However this trip offers a great deal despite the flooding and rain we seemed to pack so much in. I would highly recommend this trip is offers so much and the walking is not difficult. I would also like to say that having been on explore trips before that Do Huy Hung is an asset to Explore .

This trip was fabulous, our guide The who worked so hard to keep us informed of the history and culture. My experience on this trip was fabulous , times could of been slowed down in busy places to see more , this is a constructive criticism NOT at all negative. A fabulous adventure and guide , will be back for an other adventure with Explore

This really is a full and active trip. Cycling gave an ‘up close’ experience and the water based activities were all great fun. The food in the local places that we ate was superb although the food in the larger hotels was less interesting. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and as a female travelling alone I felt completely safe throughout. I’ve come home feeling that I have experienced Sri Lanka at its best and the people are so friendly and welcoming. Early mornings, long days and activity were central to this ‘holiday’ but if you’re up for that then you’ll have a fabulous time.

An amazing tour covering the incredible landscapes of Patagonia. The itinerary was excellent and accommodation all of a very good standard. Our tour leader was Carolina, who was exceptional. Yes, it is expensive and you are at the mercy the weather, but if you are lucky the rewards are unforgettable.

Our guide Champ was brilliant. So attentive to the needs of the group, as well as providing so much information throughout the trip. A varied itinerary, with superb food all the way

This was a great trip full of lots of amazing sites, experiences and information. I would definitely recommend the optional extras of Saqqara and Abu Simbel. When packing, I would recommend bringing dollars to save lugging Egyptian Pounds around (you will need a lot of notes!). A lot of places accept card which is a blessing as well. However, you will need small denominations of Egyptian Pounds for tipping and any toilet trips (paying to use the toilet is standard). The overnight train and Nile cruise were contrasting experiences but great fun. Personally, I found my sleeping bag liner really handy on the train - but no one else had one and it didn’t bother them. We also didn’t need the extra snacks on the train as the food was ok. Long, floaty trousers or skirts are a must to ensure you are respecting the culture of Egypt. However, I did feel ok in a tshirt but always had a loose, long-sleeved shirt in my bag ready to wear. The group we travelled with were great and Amr, our guide, could not be faulted on his knowledge and passion of Ancient Egypt. I have learnt a lot! Thank you.
