A fantastic trip! The itinerary was fascinating giving some great insight into local life. The hotels were comfortable and our tour guide was friendly and knowledgable. Two things to note: First, it’s really important to read the itinerary before booking and be sure you can do the hikes, as two people in our group couldn’t. I don’t think it spoiled their holiday but it did mean they didn’t get the most out of it. Second, if you arrive in the middle of the day on a Sunday, NOWHERE is open, so bring a packed lunch!
This was my fifth Explore holiday - the fourth cycling tour I’ve done - and they’ve all been so good I’ve had no hesitation in booking with you again. I think the stand-out feature of each tour has been the guides we’ve had on each trip - they’ve all been excellent without exception and have dedicated every waking moment of each tour to making sure each has run perfectly and participants are happy. Our guide in Puglia - Massimo - was great. He was always cheerful, encouraging, kept us well informed of plans and was very knowledgeable about the region. He also took excellent photos and videos of our trip which he was happy to share. Great memories of an excellent holiday!
