Our group Explore Leader, Filip Kolic, is highly professional in ensuring our trip is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. He's quick in problem-solving and forward thinking for example he's on top of organising alternative transport back-to-back for our group when early news of regional floodings and landslides had caused disruptions of the railway and road connections to our next destination. Great job there as we were able to reach our next city to continue our planned guided city tour, although quite short. We managed to celebrate our trial & tribulation at a lovely quick dinner next to our hotel! All went well with extra National Park sceneries and travel experiences!

For my first trip to Ireland, it was the perfect tour to see so much of this beautiful country. Our accommodations were first class, the meals included were delicious, along with all of the excursions planned. Everything was excellent!
Thank you! It was a dream come true.
We did go 2 days early to Dublin before the tour and stayed an extra day in Dublin at the end. That was a perfect way to see and do more of Dublin and give us time on our own to explore.
SAILING HOLIDAY: Journey in style from delightful Dubrovnik northward towards stunning Split. Visit gorgeous islands en route including Brac and the eye-catching Zlatni Rat Beach and world class National Park, Mljet. Experience 8 glorious days aboard a beautiful cruise boat - complete bliss!

Hiking southern Iceland is an exciting, and demanding trip. beautiful, other worldly landscape. one of my top 3 tours. a person taking this trip should be fit/strong walker. Would not recommend for the average senior (over 65).
Iceland is magic,other-worldly. Don’t miss the Blue Lagoon!!! Tour is well-organized. Easy direct flight from Pittsburgh—forget about early check-in to hotel. Confusion both ways with airport transfers. Three hotels-all clean. Would have liked hotel in Reykjavik to be more central to the shopping district. Hotel Personnel helpful. Breakfasts elaborate and included. Food on our own was very expensive. Tour stops very interesting with opportunities to get off the bus and explore. Would have liked longer times to hike a bit. Driver careful. Tour director formal and informative.
