This was a great holiday. The hotel was in a perfect location at the quieter northern end of Lake Como with beautiful views of the lake and the Alps. Walks were varied. Tour leader Kristians was excellent and the group all got on well.

Another outstanding tour through Explore. Seeing the north of Italy by following the Adige River trail from Merano, and winding up with a full day in Venice, was simply epic. Riding into Verona to the Colosseum was magical.
We had an excellent guide (Massimo) who was very skilled, with great sense of humour. We all laughed the entire journey.
Most of the group had e-bikes, though the trails were fairly easy aside from a couple of hilly bits.

We had a great experience with G Adventures when we traveled to Costa Rica a couple of years ago and this trip to Italy cemented our positive view of these tours. I would not hesitate to recommend G Adventures to anyone traveling with children. The activities were fun, interesting, and varied. It was our 3 grandsons' first trip out of the country and it could not have been better. You need to give Francesco and Mika a raise in salary! They were outstanding.
The tour was expensive and we were in a mediocre hotel with flaky internet.
But the tour leader was exceptional in all areas. Her presentations were faultless, her interest beyond compare and nothing was ever too much trouble for her. An excellent part of the holiday
Would l travel with Explore again? Probably not they're too expensive. Without Lara's input l'd be asking for a refund.

Immerse yourself into an archaeological journey through the ancient cities of Pompeii and Ercolano.
