Fabulous trip. My nine year old and I had a wonderful time! I hope they offer more like it as I would definitely go to another. The scenery was stunning, guide fantastic and donkeys a highlight.
Fantastic trip! Loved the food and the hikes. The local guides were fantastic.! They definitely added to the enjoyment of the trip. Beautiful scenery and included activities. Lovely, like- minded group of travellers and an awesome CEO!
I would like to start my review by complimenting EuropaMoundo on their professionalism. The whole trip was very well planned and organized from the beginning till the end.
The credit of this amazing trip goes to the extremely professional tour guides of our trip, our first guide was Ms. Isabel who took us around Lisbon and various cities of Portugal.
She handled the whole group very well and was very clear with her instructions which really helped us during our stay in Portugal. Also, she was extremely sweet and polite not just with me and my family but with all the other group members too. Whenever we were curious to know anything about the tour plan or about the city we were visiting, Isabel always made sure our query is solved as she never backed down from answering any question or doubt.
After completing Portugal we headed towards The Land of Rabbits, Spain. We arrived in Madrid where we were guided by Ms. Ane, who made our stay in Madrid more memorable by her witty sense of humor. She took us around Madrid and gave us all the information about the city. She was very sweet and humble and was also very welcoming for any query. She took care of every person on the tour by personally talking to each and every family whenever she had the chance to, which in fact made our trip more memorable. It gave us a personal touch.
We were there in the city for a day and thanks to our guide we got the opportunity of watching the Bull Fight in Madrid. Which was the highlight of our trip.
The next day we were on our way to our next destination Barcelona. Which was our final destination of the trip. We had a stay in Barcelona for 3 days and we were being guided by Ms. _____________ who took us around the city and was very helpful during our stay in Barcelona.
EuropaMundo made sure that we do not have to go through any trouble during the trip and we had a great time with EuropaMundo and their team. Would like to thank their staff and our guides for guiding us through out the trip and for giving us a very relaxed and hassle free trip.
Thank You,
The trip was a well planned and executed family orientated holiday. I feel that two "On Board" guides was unnecessary - the shore guides were excellent and added good value.
This was my first trip with Explore and it didn't dissapoint. The overall itinerary made for a diverse and challenging trek for me. The group was of mixed ages and we gelled quickly. The tour guide Alpa was local and competent and filled the group with confidence in our abilities. Off the beaten track I felt I saw the real Turkey and I appreciated that experience. I would recommend this trip....in fact I have already.
Discover the medieval town built during the Holy Roman Empire, enter the historical center from one of the ancient gates to the town and discover the architectural beauties of the churches of St. Blaise, St. Nicholas, Greek Church and the Cathedral of Altamura, the only church built by Emperor Frederick II Hohenstaufen in the Middle Ages.
The lovely walk continues through the typical squares of the old town
and made to carry you smell good in the little streets of the old town in search of old wood-burning ovens where even today the cooking bread and focaccia.
Bread and Focaccia's final tasting.
The last section of the Swiss Via Francigena, the Camino route from Canterbury to Rome, from Lake Geneva, through the valleys of the Valais to the Great St Bernard Pass. From Canterbury in England to Rome in Italy, the 1900km "Francigena Way" dates back to the 11th century when pilgrims travelled across Europe on foot to visit the site of Martyrdom of St Peter and St Paul in Rome. With the modernisation of Europe and the shifting of borders the route became obsolete, until a recent revival of the pilgrimage making it one of the most exciting pilgrimage trails in Europe today. The last stage in Switzerland begins on Lake Geneva, takes in the UNESCO-listed vineyards of Lavaux, the Rhone Valley and finally crosses the magnificent Swiss Alps leading to the historical Great St Bernard Pass. This section of the Francigena pilgrimage route will wow you with its spectacular views, delicious local cuisine and fascinating history.
Note: Due to the weather and altitude this walk is only possible during the summer months.
The trip was excellent and i really enjoyed it. The organization, the staff and group was fabulous.
I will definetly use and book my future trips with you. 100 recomended
