This is the 10th Explore holiday, we have covered places like Peru, Chile, Bolivia, Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Vietnam, Cambodia, Cuba, India and this just covers 5 holidays.
These are not for everyone, as some are very full on, but the two Balkan trips were easy, although some of this group had not read the itinerary properly and this was a bit too much for them!
The Cuba and South America were what I call, sanitised back packing, as sleeping out in the open and you can have very early starts, around 4 am and late finishes.
However, you really see the place and interact with the local people. This is why we love Explore tours.
If you want total comfort and not really interact, then Saga or like is for you, as you do have to rough it on some trips.
One trip in particular was India, two days going up the Ganges on a wooded raft, inches from the water and sleeping on the bank at night with the snakes and wild dogs, just an amazing experience, and you know you are alive!
Another was in the jungle of Cuba, no tent, just under the stars, but I did get attacked by the smallest ants in the night, but still a fantastic experience, one I won’t forget!
Our tour guides have all been very good, but on this trip, Constantin went beyond the norm.
The only criticism on this trip was no local experts and Constantin had to do it all, which makes it very difficult for him to become an expert in every area, town etc.

They did a wonderful job of organizing and supporting our bicycle adventure from Vienna to Budapest. The hotels were wonderful and the breakfast's amazing. Having not only GPS directions, but accompanying written directions and maps made our tour a breeze. Communication before and during the trip was excellent.

I really suggest this trip, suitable for everyone, also for people not particularly trained. We rode along the Elba river, in a very safety roads, on bike tracks almost flat, not accessible to the cars. Beautiful landscapes and nature, lovely villages, very welcoming people. Prague and Dresden really worth the trip!

My wife and I recently completed the Czechia UNESCO Tour (7 Sites in 6 Days) on on September 26, 2025, and we were absolutely thrilled with our guide, Michal. He was the definitive highlight of our journey. Michal possesses deep, genuine expertise on every site, from the spectacular Prague Castle complex to the beautiful medieval streets of Cesky Krumlov, and the Moravian jewels like Telč and Třebíč. His knowledge of history and architecture was truly impressive, but what set him apart was his warm, engaging personality and commitment to making our small group experience perfect. Beyond his guiding prowess, Michal is a truly talented individual—a singer in the local cappella band Skety. This personal passion added such a wonderful, human dimension to the tour. Hearing about his life and connection to the Czech culture truly enriched our understanding of the places we visited. It was clear that he wasn't just reciting facts; he was sharing his home with us. We highly recommend requesting Michal. He is an outstanding professional who offers an unforgettable experience, combining world-class guidance with personal charm and local insight. Thank you, Michal, for making our trip so memorable!

We had a great cruise with this agency! Staff was very helpful and kind. City looked amazing at the evening with all the lights and the sunset. Drinking champagne on the deck of the boat and watching beautiful lighted buildings was one of the highlights of our trip to Budapest!
Prepare to uncover the cultural gems of Central Europe on the "Highlights of Vienna Budapest Prague and Frankfurt" tour, an inviting 7-day journey ideal for travelers seeking relaxed-paced sightseeing with plenty of historic and architectural marvels. Kicking off in Vienna, Austria’s elegant capital, you’ll wander through the lush gardens of Schonbrunn Palace and soak in the atmospheric charm of this imperial city.
The adventure continues in Budapest, nicknamed the Queen of the Danube. Here, a scenic boat ride on the Danube River reveals how the city is beautifully split into Buda and Pest, with grand boulevards and thermal baths lining the banks. Bratislava, Slovakia’s vibrant capital, welcomes you next with its legendary Old Town and iconic Michael’s Gate.
In Prague, the Czech capital, you’ll explore the imposing Prague Castle and cruise gently down the Vltava River, absorbing the city’s medieval beauty from the water. This journey then takes you into Bavaria’s heart, where the picturesque village of Lauf An Der Pegnitz and the architectural wonders of Wurzburg await, both offering a taste of Germany’s storied past. Your trip concludes in Frankfurt, where modern skyscrapers meet historic neighborhoods for a dynamic finale.
A key highlight of this tour package is the thoughtfully crafted balance between iconic landmarks and scenic landscapes, accompanied by seamless logistics—accommodation, transport, and meals are all included. For those who appreciate a comfortable, immersive sightseeing experience across multiple cultures, this tour delivers timeless European elegance with ease.
Very organized. The time was well used to see major sites and to get a feel for the history and daily life. The tour was responsive to our request to include some outdoor, active activities in addition to sightseeing. The local guide was very good, knowledgeable and genial. Importantly, he was a good driver. The hotels were well selected, except for the one in Cluj which was a bit out of the center.
