Wonderful trip in every way! We were planning a similar trip to take independently but decided it would be easier to go with Explore. So pleased we did! We would never have found the fantastic walks and probably would have stayed in hotels close to ports instead of the wonderful locations chosen for us. Our fantastic guide, Peter, was also able to lead us to some great restaurants, advise about public bus timetables and ensure that everyone in the group was catered for. Our group was a lot of fun and we met up with people we probably would never had encountered! An action packed itinerary which worked like clockwork!!
