This was my first trip with Explore. Enjoyed the walks. The hotels were satisfactory. Our tour guide, Damir, was exceptional. He was extremely knowledgeable, and made every effort to make the trip special for us.

Spiros was a breath of fresh air, his love and knowledge of the island was exceptional. I learnt more from his wisdom about Corfu in the first 4 days than I had the the 25 years I've been visiting Corfu.
The places we visited were an explosion of the senses from breathtaking views to the scent of the herbs and flowers in the woodlands, along with ancient Olive Groves. Walking the complete trail was tough, but worth every blister.
Thanks to Spiros and Marcella this was a truly magical and memorable trip.

The Lycian guided walk from Fettiye to Antayla was a wonderful experience with two very capable and personable guides… our leader Egemen and cultural guide Tuncay.
They were wonderful companions as well as expert guides. We were a small group and at times our pace was slow however adjustments were made accordingly. The coastal scenery was sensational and well worth the effort of walking up and down stony tracks! We swam every day, ate terrific authentic Turkish meals and the accomodation was very good. We learnt so much about this historic part of Turkey.

This was a fascinating and rewarding tour led by an extremely efficient young man called Christos. Transport throughout was in a first class mini-bus and hotel accommodation was more than adequate, if not always top rate. The itinerary was varied and comprehensive and our only reservation concerned the number of rather grueling and lengthy walks involved.
Clients should, perhaps, have been made more aware that many of the historical sites in Greece lie at the top of steep hills. Access is often only possible up steep and slippery cobbled tracks which can be difficult for the elderly and a daunting challenge for anyone with mobility issues. On more than one occasion, at least 4 members of our group felt compelled to opt out and entertain themselves for an hour or more while waiting for the others.
That aside, my wife and I enjoyed every single moment of the tour and we cannot praise Christos highly enough. He is young and still keen to learn, but he showed remarkable maturity in his dealings with everyone in the group and his organizational skills were excellent and beyond reproach. Well done to him - and our driver George as well!

Great tour and great leader. Challenging underfoot conditions - rocky in places - but worth it. The accommodation and food at Gey Village House was poor but otherwise all the other accommodation and food was fine. Excellent boat trip at the end of the tour to round off a memorable holiday.

The crew and tour leader were fantastic. There were many stops along the way for swimming. The history learned and walking through the many historic towns was illuminating.
The lower cabin is very very spacious and quiet.
Everyone in the Explore office was knowledgeable and helpful - they went above and beyond to give details of the trip and discuss its suitability and logistics. And a great bonus - the phone was answered quickly without endless waiting.
I had been apprehensive about my ability to walk quite so far for the full 6 days, but it was perfectly paced and plenty of time for coffee and lunch stops. The scenery was varied and the villages delightful.
The highlight of the trip was having our guide, Spiros, who spoke great English, was passionate about his island and the trail, hugely knowledgable about the local flora and fauna, and on top of all that, funny and kind and intent on ensuring that everyone had a great time.
