A great walking and hiking trip in the Tatras. Substantial and at times steep ascents makes this a demanding trip but the views are worth it. A fascinating part of Europe to visit and enjoy it's natural beauty alongside Polish culture, food and drink.

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.

I was impressed with pre booking process with Alex from Eskapas. He customized the trip and he was very patient with us. We modified our itinerary many times and he answeres all of our questions. I was very confident that we had chosen the right tour company.
The promptness with which we were greeted at Athens airport, and the pick-up and drop-off to the hotels and airport were impressive. We really liked all the hotels that were chosen for us. Overall a great experience. Highly recommend.
Scandinavia has astonishing sightseeing for those who like nature or history. The experience was even better with Contiki. Ollie our trip manager and Tamas our drive provide a lot of historical information, curiosities and we were able to drive to some other places for sightseeing. Highly recommend it.

The trip was fantastic and were great guides who planned such fun and informative stops at every destination. I had a blast with the group and would go back in a heartbeat.
It was an amazing way to see so many awesome-inspiring Greek places. The archeological sites and locations were an adventure to be had (make sure to pack hiking shoes!) and our group became like family as we discovered all new places and history together. Would 10/10 do it again in a heartbeat.

Our tour director was phenomenal! Without her we would have never been able to experience all that we did. She knew the insights of Greece and Turkey so well and made it so easy to navigate these places. The tour was great. Santorini and Mykonos took my breath away. We also loved swimming on the hotels rooftop pool while glancing at the Parthenon in the distance. Seeing the monastery up in the mountains was extraordinary, the local guides were incredibly knowledgeable and so welcome and to top it off the food was delicious! We also enjoyed the cruise. The cabin was beautiful and the boat had a ton of activities to enjoy. Best trip ever and very budget friendly.
