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.

Everything from the hotel check-in to the daily tours was seamless. I appreciated how organized the tour was. Capri, Sorrento, and Pompeii were each impressive in their own way. Great value and unforgettable memories!
