My family and I had an amazing time on this Amalfi Explorer trip. It was organized, we appreciated the transportation services and how they would move our luggage to the next location, and it offered a lovely variety of sights and hikes on the Amalfi Coast! This was my first time in Italy and it exceeded my expectations.
We used them for our first Camino Walk. From start to end everything went smoothly. Two couples, bags transfers, accommodations, transportation where required. We had great information and support from the time we started our contact with them up to the end. We walked 300km+ , it was great to know there were beds at the end of the day and the hotels /motels were all great. Highly recommend!

Thoroughly enjoyed the service and facilities at Due Torri, the hiking, the help and the community . We paid Bookmundi more for our self guided tour than the travel expert advertises for this same trip. We would like an explanation or refund if possible.
Our tour guide, Youssef, made our trip truly exceptional with his exceptional level of care and assistance. He was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure our well-being throughout our entire journey. When we encountered health issues during our stay, Youssef was there to support us and make sure we received the necessary care. His attentiveness and kindness were truly remarkable, and we cannot thank him enough for his exceptional service.
Apart from the outstanding support from Youssef, the tour itself was an absolute blast. The activities were meticulously planned and provided us with loads of fun and excitement. From exploring beautiful landmarks to engaging in thrilling adventures, every moment was filled with joy and exhilaration. We were thoroughly impressed with the level of organization and attention to detail.
Additionally, our accommodations exceeded our expectations. We were delighted by the quality and comfort of the accommodations provided. It added an extra touch of luxury and relaxation to our trip, allowing us to unwind and recharge after each exciting day of exploration.
Overall, we highly recommend this tour with a perfect 10/10 rating. The exceptional care and assistance from Youssef, coupled with the well-planned activities and fantastic accommodations, made our trip truly unforgettable. However, we would advise avoiding visiting during the summer months when the heat can become overwhelming. This way, you can fully enjoy all the experiences without any discomfort
Our visit to Crete was definitely our Top 3 Hiking Tours (Mt Blanc and Portugal are runners up). The people are wonderful the food amazing. Fantastic routes and weather .
Everyone in the Explore office was knowledgeable and helpful - they went above and beyond to give details of the trip and discuss its suitability and logistics. And a great bonus - the phone was answered quickly without endless waiting.
I had been apprehensive about my ability to walk quite so far for the full 6 days, but it was perfectly paced and plenty of time for coffee and lunch stops. The scenery was varied and the villages delightful.
The highlight of the trip was having our guide, Spiros, who spoke great English, was passionate about his island and the trail, hugely knowledgable about the local flora and fauna, and on top of all that, funny and kind and intent on ensuring that everyone had a great time.

Perfect mix of cycling, culture and cuisine. It was a nice group of people.
Tour leader, Paul was very friendly and knowledgable about culture and history.
Most accommodation had pools - so plenty of opportunities to relax.
The afternoon with our own private boat was great fun, and so were the mudbaths and hammam.
Hills most days, but scenic descents and great views - always the option of the backup vehicle, if needed a break.

French Camino went smoothly. The baggage transport and accommodation could not be faulted. The owners of each house we stayed in were great hosts, not to mention excellent chefs. The walk itself was well marked and the app that they provided was very accurate. Would use them again!!!!
