South East Asia Beach Trips

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.

The group bonded very quickly so we had lots of laughs and plenty to talk about. It made a difference to have a range of nationalities so there were many interesting discussions as we made our way through each day's walk. Our tour leader was Bert, who did an excellent job of organising our itinerary and marshalling all 15 of us into our taxis, or to the local restaurants for dinner each evening.

The itinerary was filled with beautiful sites, wonderful food and friendly people. The local specialists were very knowledgeable and made these places and their history come alive. Personally, I liked the North of Portugal a little more than the deep south, but it was interesting to see the contrast. Our travel directory, Nuno, was outstanding, as was our driver, Carlos. They made this trip special. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see Portugal.
