I loved seeing everything and hearing all the history. The tour guides were wonderful and knowledgeable. The food and hotels were great. Our tour guide Carlos played music for us on the bus according to which country we were in. He also was able to find a famous guitar players music and played it for a man who was on our trip. It was wonderful music and the musician was great. I would and do recommend it to all my friends.

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.

The tour days were not strenuous nor too laid back. Meals supplied and on your own were well apportioned based on the tour day's activities. We had a good opportunity to try the local cuisines of the three countries visited which is important to me since I'm a foodie and the wine tastings were interesting as well.

Unfortunately this tour was impacted by the corona virus and multiple border / town lock downs, however it was still an enjoyable trip. Our itinerary while amended allowed us to visit some beautiful sights, and I always felt safe and informed throughout the entire trip. My guide was knowledgeable and gave our group guided tours throughout the towns, allowing us to ensure we made the most of the visits. He had an excellent knowledge of history and culture.
The last tour I did with Europamundo we did not have mic commentary from the guide and I can see now we have missed some of the commentary after hearing such detail on this tour. I’d recommend all guides to do the mic share on the bus, otherwise you may as well give us the Wikipedia page links pre tour.
Unfortunately I would like to provide feedback that the transition with the new guide who was taking us from Stockholm to Helsinki was not ideal. With the tense circumstances with EU travel restrictions, I was not provided with contact details of the new guide until requested and it felt we were left deserted in Stockholm. I understand this new guide was not presented with the best scenario he could’ve, so please understand I do not take this as a compromise of him or his job.
For those passengers who had made alternative travel arrangements so they could return home early however were originally planned to continue the tour, it felt they were provided little support once the guide transition was made.
This survey asks me to rate Jose however I feel it’s not appropriate for me to do so as I didn’t have any travel with him. I’m sure he is great and excels when there is no corona
Also, BMW World is the worst stop in the whole itinerary and a lot of people on our tour would agree. We even joked how bad it was during our tour multiple times
Overall though the tour was great fun, with brilliant guides who coordinated us through this period. Please pass on my sincere thank you for managing through such a challenging period.
Trip was well paced. Accommodations were good. Plugged shower drain in two locations one with a good response, another with a bad response. Food was good. Good view of rural France.

It was great traveling with other women. I felt some days were too busy, especially the miles we went one day for 45 minutes at a spare. Really enjoyed the meals.

Europe the easy way- right way to tell what I experienced. I’ve done my fair share of planning trips in my 40s.booking hotels, figuring out trains, missing connections. This time, I wanted ease. These guys delivered. From the moment we landed in Paris, everything was taken care of: the transfers, guides, comfortable hotels, even entrance tickets to major sites.
We explored iconic French towns like Giverny and Amboise, and that day in Mont-St-Michel was something I’ll remember forever. The Spain portion felt like a warm breeze after the cooler French north..Montserrat’s mountaintop monastery was stunning, and I loved our time in Barcelona. The evenings were ours, which meant we could explore or just relax with a glass of wine.
I met people my age from across North America, and it was so refreshing to travel with others who wanted to experience culture, but not at a breakneck pace. Highly recommend for anyone who wants that balance of exploration and comfort.
