IT WAS AN EXHAUSTIVE AND EXHAUSTIVE TRIP. VERY UNIQUE IN ITS OWN WAY. I LOVED THE TRAVELLING AND THE WAY THE TRIP WAS HANDLED. COMING FROM A VERY SEASONED TRAVELLER THIS IS A BIG COMPLIMENT.

Greek Island Wanderer was just as described in the itinerary. Every day was fun packed and busy. The hikes we did were amazing but there was always an alternative if you didn't feel like hiking. The extra trips were fun
Our leader Christos, was amazing. He was knowledgeable and very helpful with any problem that arose.
This is a great way to explore the Greek Islands and I would highly recommend .

Picture yourself journeying from the cradle of Western civilization to the vibrant heart of Serbia. 'From Athens to Belgrade' is a 12-day adventure specifically designed for seniors seeking a relaxed yet enriching tour. With Athens and Belgrade as key highlights, this easy-paced group trip includes hotel accommodation, convenient transport, and delicious meals. Its unique appeal lies in connecting two historically significant cities, perfect for those who relish both comfort and cultural exploration.
We absolutely loved the trip. the Hideaway was a beautiful place to stay right by the Turkish baths and the Amphitheatre. The staff were so helpful, the room clean and setting and food was fabulous.
Each day of the trip brought us a new adventure. The group gelled very well together and out guide Zainab was fun, flexible and helpful and knowledgeable.

A very good tour and the Springtime is the best time of year to do it as warm temperatures (early 20s) and all the flowers are out, so making it look more lovely. Somethings need rearranging as the tomb of Ano Anglianos is closed on a Tuesday, so is impossible to do on the tour even though it is in the trip notes. The only other problem is that due to the Greeks closing everything down for May Bank holiday, was unable to see Temple of Apollo or any of the museums when we got back to Athens. Need to make people aware of this first. The app doesn't put the hotel in the right place and can send you seriously off course. The optional tours were very good.

This is quite a challenging trek and the distances were slightly more than the trip notes. Plenty of steep ups and downs and poles definitely needed. Having said that the scenery is stunning and the trip balanced well. The hut accommodation is pretty comfortable and warm and more of a hostel really with outdoor loos. The huts also provide crocs so no real need to carry spare footwear if you want to save weight and space in your day rucksack.

Really impressed with how well everything was organised - seamless airport transfers and simple but very clean, spacious accommodation with staff that cater to your every need. The tour leader was brilliant (he knows the area & understands the trails) and all the places visited were stunning! Everyone who loves walking, travelling & exploring the local culture should go on this trip!

We highly recommend Highlights of Albania. The trips were highly organised and our guide Geri was very knowledgeable and looked after us well. It was our first trip with Explore.
