Excellent trip. The last trip I did with Explore was 30 years ago. I am recently retired and decided to join a small walking group . Used Explore again and was not disappointed. Excellent team in London. Guide professional, knowledgable , super safety conscious and sociable as I would have expected. Walking terrain in Crete is quite challenging but thanks to our guide we all managed to complete our hikes. Great group of people too!
