This tour was my first one internationally. I loved it. We spent alot of time on the bus and moving from hotel to hotel for 9 days. 1300 miles. It was alot with 46 people in one space. One person came on sick and everyone else got it. Despite that, the excursions were outstanding. The culture is amazing and the weather was phenomenal, which we found out was very unusual.

We knew nothing at all about this area in advance - other than the Exodus write up. If anything, we were a bit apprehensive, because Alicante and Benidorm get a bad press in the UK. Why do we never hear of this unspoilt, fantastic scenery just inland?

A fab tour from Explore. Their tour leaders are always so passionate and enthusiastic and group sizes are not too big.
This trip allows you to experience the beauty and diversity of Albania and understand the ongoing political and economic struggles the country has been through with centuries of occupation by the likes of the Ottoman Empire, the Romans and then at the hands of Communist Communism. Albania is now able to show off its beauty and is increasing it tourism offering. A hidden gem.

This was the trip of a lifetime—it opened up the world to me and gave me more confidence to solo travel. I LOVED having the itinerary planned out and all of the logistics handled by our excellent trip manager. It helped me turn my brain off and truly enjoy my vacation. Also was so relaxing to travel between cities by train. We had the perfect balance of planned activities and free time that helped us pack just the right amount of action into each city. I especially loved Free Time Add-Ons like the Moulin Rouge and a bonus cruise on the Seine to see the Eiffel Tower shine (arranged by our trip manager when our plans hit a snag!) Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to explore and connect with others!
Our tour was excellent! Well curated indeed!Our guide, Antonio, was well informed, shared his knowledge generously, had a great sense of humor, was caring and belief us all have a wonderful, memorable time. We will absolutely recommend this tour, Collette, and Antonio!
The staff at the hotel were kind, attentive, and helpful.
