Really lovely hike through Switzerland with lots of options to customize the trail from easy to hard. Hotels were good with comfortable beds and pretty good breakfasts.
We requested a customized combination of PUGLIA COASTAL WALK and WALKING IN PUGLIA in one trip and that was superbly done by Nicola and Chris! It turned out a very pleasant tour and we would strongly recommend to create a permanent itinerary. We enjoyed every minute of being in Puglia and every kilometer walking in Puglia. That was unforgettable. Choices of accommodations were exceptional with excellent and unique amenities and great supportive staff. Route Notes and GPX tracks made us very comfortable in finding the right way and seeing the right attractions and natural wonders. Chris' support and advice were invaluable. Overall we were very satisfied with this trip.

Overall a great experience. It was educational and informative. All of our travel guides were attentive to our needs. We had a wonderful time and we are looking forward to our next trip with you.
I did Orvieto-Roma with my dog Ariel and we both had an amazing time. The organisation was impeccable, the accommodation was good and the app fantastic: even for somebody like me who gets lost all the time!

El viaje estuvo muy bueno y los guías son muy amigables.
Por otro lado considero que deberían mejorar el manejo del itinerario en Europamundo. He viajado varias veces y por lo general tienen muy pocos recesos para comer merienda o ir al baño. Hay muchas personas mayores que viajan y posiblemente tengan sus condiciones de salud. Creo que añadir recesos de 15 a 20 minutos para comer una merienda o ir al baño debería ser añadido al itinerario para cada 2-3 horas. No es saludable estar desde las 6:30am con el desayuno hasta las 1pm o 2pm para almorzar. Para mantener una alimentación saludable se necesita comer cada 2 horas haciendo comidas y meriendas. El viaje de Corea del Sur fue el único en donde hubo varios recesos necesarios y se pudo lograr cumplir con todo lo planeado para cada día.
Otra cosa a considerar es que si hay alguien que termina un tour antes que los demás y se queda un día más en el hotel, el guía debe asegurarse de hacer esta explicación de las personas que NO van a hacer check-out en el hotel. Me pasó que el tour continuaba hacia Noruega mientras me quedaba un día más en Dinamarca y le dieron check-out a todos los huéspedes de Europundo incluyéndome a mi y a mi esposo. Tuvimos que esperar a que el hotel aclarara las cosas para dejarnos quedar una noche adicional que ya estaba pagada y era parte del paquete. El muchacho del hotel fue muy cordial y nos ayudó. Pero creo que esto se pudo haber evitado si uno de los guías hubiese explicado y aclarado los huéspedes que iban a dar check-out ese día y los que se quedaban una noche adicional.
This is a whistle stop tour through Eastern Europe concentrating on the history, culture and architecture of the capitals. A great introduction which will leave you wanting to come back for more.

This was another thoroughly enjoyable Explore trip to a fascinating part of the world in terms of its rich history and present-day geopolitical relevance. The group we were travelling with bonded very quickly and were great company throughout the trip. Both tour leaders, Armene (Armenia) and Alex (Georgia) were excellent, communicated their knowledge and love of their respective countries with infectious enthusiasm and were genuinely lovely people. Both drivers also did a great job on sometimes less than perfect roads.
There were multiple highlights but worth special mention would be both capital cities, Yerevan and Tblisi, the basalt rock formations along the Garni River Gorge, the spine-tingling medieval choral music at Geghard Monastery, a performance of La Traviata at Yerevan Opera House that wildly exceeded expectations, the amazing 12th-C cave settlement remains at Vardzia, hiking in the spectacular Kazbegi Mountains, plus all the amazing regional food and drink we sampled throughout the trip. Georgia's reputation as a bit of a foodie heaven is entirely justified.
I would not hesitate to recommend this trip!

The Dordogne trip was outstanding - beautiful scenery, quaint and comfortable hotels, excellent food and days longs enough to feel the benefit of walking but not so long to make you too exhausted to enjoy arriving. Added bonus was our ability to enjoy a “coupe” everywhere we landed.

You will see beautiful old buildings and many other things on this interesting trip but early May was the wrong time to go this year. We were quite cold most of the time. During our walking tour of Tartu, it even snowed a little. At least we didn't encounter much rain.
The hotels are very good, with excellent access to the Old Towns in the three capitals. Explore has changed the hotels that people complained about, I think.
