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.

Having worked with them on a trip in Northern Italy last year, I was confident they would deliver a great experience.
They did. From the quality of the hotels, included meals, the navigation app used down to the distances covered each day, everything was well thought out and first rate.
Along the way I met other walkers who’d used other companies. Every single one had a complaint about the company they used. I had no complaints and recommended them repeatedly along the route. I’m already making arrangements for an Italian walk next year with this company.

The whole experience exceeded my expectations. The guide was really knowledgeable, informative and a joy. I learnt a great deal in relation to the culture and food delights of Turkey. The walking experience was outstanding. I would highly recommend this experience as away to see Turkey.

The hotels were great and well located. The hiking was challenging. The navigation worked well most of the time. Andros was a beautiful place and well worth visiting.
Recommend staying in Rafina the first night and taking the ferry the following morning. Otherwise it is a very long travel day.
