UK and Britain Mountains Trips

Explore organise and run their trips extremely well. The itinerary is used regularly and the guides are very knowledgeable. The trek was as described although I made the length longer with my recordings and the hours of hiking longer each day but we were a big group so we stopped often enough route. We have had Explore before and would travel with them again

You get a good look at both cities & the highlands of Scotland! We saw a bit of everything as far as tourist sites, from castles, to lochs, battlefields, to boat rides, to pubs with haggis tastings to bagpipes, & highland dancers !

Our leaders Armena and Alex were both excellent. They had a great knowledge of the countries and their history. The meals and wine=tasting with local families was also most enjoyable.

This was an excellent tour and our tour director Matty was fantastic . My only issue were the beds at the Delta and Craiglynne were so hard I couldn’t sleep on them. We had to get multiple toppers to survive the nights. Matty was very knowledgeable and so helpful. What they covered in 6 days was great and the optional experiences were very fitting.

Trip was very well planned and enabled a taste of many sights and areas of Scotland. Tour Director was excellent! Very knowledgeable and shared much history and many stories pertaining to each area. Would highly recommend!

This was our second tour with Trafalgar. We had a great itinerary! We saw/did quite a lot stops and views. As we traveled from Edinburgh to St. Andrew's our tour director was very informative about the history of the area. At various stops, he shared Scottish snacks like teacakes and soda with all of us! From St. Andrew's we went into the Highlands where we told to keep an eye out of some "hairy coos", aka hairy cows. We stopped at quite a few castles and historical sites along the was as we traveled through Scotland up to the Isle of Skye through Glencoe to seek out Nessie in Loch Ness, then traveled along to Loch Lomond and finishing our tour in Glasgow! The meals with and the Laird were fun and entertaining! The haggis at was very good! As was the dinner with the Laird and his Lady, from soup to dessert everything was very good! Six days flew by very quickly but thanks to our tour director and our driver, they made it a wonderful trip!! Even the weather was pretty amazing!
