We saw a lot on the trip. The itinerary gave a good taste of Prague, Germany and Amsterdam. This gave us an idea of where we would like to return for a longer visit. Our guide and driver were excellent and the bus was new, so very comfortable. Unfortunately, we had a large, loud group on board who did not feel the need to listen to the guide. This made it difficult for others to hear her and get the information she was giving us throughout the tour. The hotels were located a long way from the tourist areas so did not make it easy to get around on your own if you chose to do so. The hotels, while not 5 star, were very clean and had decent amenities. We only had breakfast and they were pretty good, some better than others.
I had a wonderful travel experience overall, and I would like to take a moment to highlight my time in Morocco, which was made even more memorable thanks to my exceptional English-speaking tour guide, Ayoub. His professionalism, knowledge, and dedication truly enhanced my journey.
In addition to Ayoub, I also had the pleasure of working with several other wonderful team members. Hamida, our Spanish-speaking guide, was always friendly and helpful, and Mohammed, our driver, ensured our travels were safe and efficient. Frey, one of the bilingual guides, was instrumental in picking me up in Tarifa and assisting with my transfer to Sevilla, where he facilitated a smooth transition to my hotel. I also had the opportunity to work with Itsa, an outstanding English-speaking guide in Spain and Portugal.
While all of these individuals contributed to making my trip enjoyable, Ayoub truly stood out during my time in Morocco. He went above and beyond to ensure that my vacation was not only enjoyable but unforgettable. As my primary guide for most of my time in Morocco, Ayoub’s excellent communication skills and deep knowledge of Moroccan culture, history, and landmarks made all the difference.
My trip started with an unfortunate setback in Madrid, where I became a victim of pickpocketing and lost all my cash. Ayoub showed incredible empathy and immediately reassured me that he would help. He took the initiative to ensure I could still participate in all the planned excursions and helped me make the most of my free time despite the situation.
Ayoub’s support and dedication were invaluable, and I can’t thank him enough for making my vacation so special. His care and commitment truly made this trip informative, enjoyable, and unforgettable. He is a true asset to the company, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have had him as my guide.

This was my first trip with Explore. Enjoyed the walks. The hotels were satisfactory. Our tour guide, Damir, was exceptional. He was extremely knowledgeable, and made every effort to make the trip special for us.
Overall the trip was well organized, planned out, and I felt I got to explore some great gems of north Albania. Our group was on the smaller side and I liked that. I can’t imagine doing it with a larger group. Some of the accommodations were basic but still were decent. I wouldn’t have minded a bit more hiking options as well but was very pleased with the ones we did.
