A very busy itinerary in which we saw and walked some of the Greek islands, however at any point there were options to arrange to do your ‘own thing’. As a guide overall we walked 125km throughout the whole holiday.
The guide tells you so much which makes the trips so much more interesting and enjoyable. Some of the optional trips are chargeable.
The hotels were varied but all were clean. The breakfasts were adequate and were the same in most hotels. With such a busy schedule you need a good sleep but we did find the mattresses were too firm for us, waking with a few aches and pains!

We had a really good experience on the Zaanse Schans tour with Derek and Pieter. The tour operator were very friendly and organised when getting us signed in at the meeting point, the tour bus had decent space and good AC. Derek was very knowledgeable and spoke at a good pace, so we learnt quite a lot on the trip. Our tour was done in English and Spanish (even the Delft factory has Spanish audio guides). There was a lot to see so not much time for photo stops but plenty of toilet breaks throughout.
I greatly enjoyed walking the Camino between Logroño and León (continuing from where I stopped last year). People had told me this central stretch is boring, but I didn't find it so. They did a great job of arranging hotel bookings and luggage transport. I can't wait to go back and complete the final section.

My sister and I used them to set up a self-guided walking tour in the Austrian Salzburg Lake District. They had multiple options and we had no issue finding one that fit our schedule and walking goals. Communication was clear and we felt well-taken care of. We would definitely use them again for our next adventure!

We had a lovely week in Spain on the Andalucia package. The itinerary was well put-together and our Explore leader, Craig, was terrific in every respect. The Alhambra Palace is stunning, likewise the great Mosque at Cordoba. Craig is so knowledgeable on the history and architecture of the area, which he was able to convey in a lively and entertaining way. The walks in the countryside around Craig's charming guest house provided the perfect balance to the city sightseeing. We learnt about pigs, cork trees, village festivals, geology and much more! Calm and unflappable, he lead us through the tour with the perfect balance of group talks/tours and free time to explore on our own. The whole trip was very well organised. Thank you Craig for a memorable week. Great fun.

The trip, Walking in Ardeche, was a great experience. This area of France is truly a hidden gem. All of the hikes were well planned
and our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the area as well as plants, trees and birds. The accommodations were excellent with great food and very comfortable rooms. I would highly recommend this trip.
