South East Asia Sightseeing Trips

Great walking holiday.. Cappadocia has such a varied landscape unlike anywhere else on the planet. All the walks were manageable. The group leader was fantastic. There were 14 of us in the group which formed a great atmosphere. We had a lovely time.

Truly excellent trip with stunning scenery, hikes to Nanga Parbat basecamp, glaciers, fort, village life, driving & walking over suspension bridges. Landscapes too large to photograph (4 km high icewall at Nanga Parbat with massive avalanche seen). The most friendly local people all wishing to engage in conversation or join you in a photo. Suggest you google the exact weather for your trip - it varies greatly by month. But not a trip if you want mod cons & luxury - hours in open jeeps, early starts, rough roads (or no roads) at times, weather can be hot & cold in same day, take care with hygiene & food. Sajid a truly, truly excellent guide, supported by lovely jeep drivers.

Excellent walking tour, well planned with a good base hotel and a first class guide who really knew the area and its history/terrain. Able to answer all questions without hesitation. Possibly the only criticism was that we walked so fast that there wasn't quite enough time to pause and take in the scenery.

I've been on a number of trips with Explore and others, and this was hands down the best. The leader Aykut was funny, knowledgeable, open to changing the schedule to work better (depending on weather, capability and general tourism volumes). The hotel was excellent, apart from dogs barking outside ALL night (take earplugs everywhere folks), and within easy walking distance of the town centre. The routes were brilliant, with amazing photo opportunities and various different terrains. All in all, superb.

I joined the walking in Cappadocia tour in October of 2025, and had an absolutely fantastic experience. Our guide Aykut was outstanding. Knowledgeable and friendly, and kept things very organized/took good care of us. The hotel (Sobek Stone House) was great. The hikes were outstanding. Not terribly difficult, but very scenic and well worth doing. The additional activities (pottery display in Avanos, Kaymakli underground city, wine tasting) were excellent, and we had a fantastic time doing the hot air balloon ride and attending the whirling dervishes ceremony. We absolutely loved Turkey, from the food, the people, the landscape, history, etc. it was a wonderful trip. Our group was super, and Explore! nailed this one. Strongly recommended.

An excellent tour if you love mountains and wild terrain. This is also an insight to how people live their daily lives away from the big cities. Marvellous would love to go back. Our tour leader Sajid was brilliant he looked after us so well.
