A tour of 8 people plus our guide and driver, a perfect number for our van. A most enjoyable 2 weeks seeing the highlights of Turkey with some fine company My expectations were pleasantly met as to the variety of our itinerary be it mosques, historical sites, Greek/Roman/Underground cities, temples, ruins, natural attractions. I felt at times we were rushed a little through some Greek/Roman cities however I understand we all move at a different pace to take in these wonders, mine perhaps being slower The hotels were a mix of mainly 3 star with the occasional 4 star and all were suitable for a quiet nights rest. The breakfasts and occasional dinner on offer did vary in quality but I personally found them to be fine. I opted for the single-supplement accommodation however it was random as to whether I was given a room with 2 single beds or 1 double bed (preferable), there was no option given at check-in so that was disappointing. I also chose the tour lunch pack but in hindsight there was no need as eating choices were abundant for our luncheons I was pleased I opted for the excursion to Troy and Gallipoli which included a visit to the ancient site of Pergamon en-route, and I considered the hotel in Canakkale the best hotel of the trip I would most certainly recommend Eskapas and this tour for some wonderful lifetime memories of Turkey

A wonderful trip, wonderful people, amazing sights and glorious walking weather.
Our guide, Matteo and all of the Hotel staff were warm, friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend taking this trip with Explore.

Just returned from an amazing 11-day trip through Greece, Turkey, and Egypt! Cruising the Saronic Gulf, exploring the Pyramids and Egyptian Museum, and experiencing the magic of Istanbul's Bosphorus were definite highlights. The hotels were great, the itinerary flowed well, and the service was top-notch. Highly recommended for an unforgettable adventure.

The tour was wonderful, packing in so many beautiful places in limited time. Egypt is a vast country with such a rich history that it would be impossible to try to do absolutely everything, with that said the tour really does a great job of showing all of the amazing sights Egypt has to offer. Well worth it with the Nile Cruise and all-inclusive resort stops, so much good food and great amenities. The tour leader was knowledgeable and kept us educated on the sights and Egyptian culture.
Once again I was lucky enough to have an outstanding tour leader in David. Especially lucky as he was also the leader for the Gran Canaria trip that I did the previous week! The landscape on La Gomera is less dramatic than Gran Canaria but the walks were excellent. One of the highlights was the Laurisilva cloud forest - complete with plenty of clouds (and rain!) but still a lovely walk.
Another highlight was the optional walk to Valle Gran Rey with great views to the coast followed by a scenic ferry journey back to San Sebastian. Also the short but stunning walk on the El Teide plateau in Tenerife.
The group of 16 was great company on the walks and at dinner in the evenings.
Accommodation in La Gomera was clean and comfortable and well located. The hotel in Tenerife was an interesting contrast!

I thoroughly enjoyed my journey from Madrid, through Portugal, and into Morocco, including the desert extension. The group leaders were fantastic, and the itinerary was thoughtfully organized. The local guides were outstanding, and the accommodations were comfortable, adding to the overall experience.

The trip was well organized with some of the hotels on the trip being real gems especially the one in the agriturismo and the one in Monteriggioni. The team was responsive when I had questions both before and during the trip and the app was easy to use. We had a fantastic time and the route was gorgeous.

Greek Island Wanderer was just as described in the itinerary. Every day was fun packed and busy. The hikes we did were amazing but there was always an alternative if you didn't feel like hiking. The extra trips were fun
Our leader Christos, was amazing. He was knowledgeable and very helpful with any problem that arose.
This is a great way to explore the Greek Islands and I would highly recommend .
