Stephen | Traveled in November
The trip was well organised from the start. The tour leader was exceptional and very well versed in what we were about to see and in the general geography of Sicily. We had not been on an organised tour before but will certainly consider Explore again. Thank you
Sara | Traveled in November
The host family was lovely, accommodating and friendly. Each meal was delicious and served with warmth and smiles. Our guide, Pete Meyers, was knowledgeable confident and very conscientious. All of our 16 tour members had his attention and focus throughout the week. The areas of the hikes and visits were all stunning and filled with beautiful views, experiences and food!

The itinerary was as expected although some of the details were out of date or obsolete. An up to date review would be useful. Lucie, the Explore Leader was exceptional!

First tour with Explore - experience exceeded my expectations! Minor negative (also shared by others in the group) was the ‘shared’ accommodation in Gey Village. Ok if I was in my 30’s but I’m in late 60’s. Worth investigating alternative accommodation options even if some additional busing might be required. Otherwise everything (guide, group, food, accommodation, transportation, and hikes/views) great! Won’t be my last tour with Explore!
David | Traveled in November
Our guide Dion was excellent. He was knowledgeable, gave us good information about Vietnam, was supportive and become aware of people’s requirements etc. He was essentially good when flooding became a problem for following the trip plan and quickly made the appropriate arrangements to change the trip plans to make it even better.

This trip was amazing from start to finish! It was such a great mix of culture, history, food, and scenery - every day felt different and full of new experiences. South Korea really surprised me with how diverse it is. From busy Seoul to quiet temples and mountain hikes, there was so much to take in. The trip was pretty full-on at times, and I’d have loved a bit more free time in Seoul or Busan to explore on my own, but overall it flowed really well.
