We saw a lot of Sapin which was what we wanted. The itinerary was great. However, it was a bit rushed and a lot more walking then indicated.
The coach was very nice, comfortable and well equipped, nice big window as long as you were not seated by a partition of the windows.
The hotels were for the most part very nice. The hotel in Valencia was terrible.
Greek Island Wanderer was just as described in the itinerary. Every day was fun packed and busy. The hikes we did were amazing but there was always an alternative if you didn't feel like hiking. The extra trips were fun
Our leader Christos, was amazing. He was knowledgeable and very helpful with any problem that arose.
This is a great way to explore the Greek Islands and I would highly recommend .

The trip was very well planned, all the accommodations, luggage transfer, meals and GPx tracks were exactly as stated in the itinerary. It's nice to have such a stress free trip given all the different cities and towns we hiked too.

A wonderful trip made in large part by the excellent guide Ester Galindo, perhaps the best we’ve had in 20+ trips with Explore. She worked very hard to keep all the varied group happy by finding routes where the more adventurous could take a slight detour and experience more challenging terrain whilst she looked after the others. Not an easy task when there was 15 of us and her. She also had to rearrange the itinerary due to bad weather. Kind, caring and enthusiastic and with a smile on her face throughout. Great walks - approx 4-5 hours each day averaging 6-7 miles or so in spectacular cliff top terrain. Good apart-hotel ( a bit “resort-y” for Explore?) with a splendid breakfast buffet. Great group of like minded people. 5 stars but only issue was the booking process with Explore which is not as good as it used to be. Vague at times, promised return calls not made, loyalty discount not applied correctly, flights unclear, etc etc! (Blamed by Explore on them being overwhelmed during a Sale promotion). Doesn’t inspire confidence but the trip delivered in the end which is the important thing.

Thank you. Your plan worked well. It was good to see my luggage at every stop on the way. The hotels were great and the Rural Group A were fantastic. Thank you again. Regards, sore feet!

This was my first trip with Explore and I was very satisfied with the excellent guide, the variety of walks and the accommodation which was conveniently very centrally located in the delightful small city of San Sebastian and close to many good restaurants and the beach.
