Our tour was excellent. The Tour Director, Luis Morales, was more than 5 stars. Madrid is a clean, safe and beautiful city. Granada was magical, Valencia by the
sea was lovely. The food was always fresh and tasty; the wine did not stop pouring. There was much walking but none of the seniors complained. In fact, they walked more than I did. The hotels were 4 and 4-1/2 stars but that is what makes Collette affordable. Brush up on your Spanish a little but most all speak English. I would highly recommend this trip. Flamenco night was fabulous. Ole!
Overall it was an amazing experience combining the exploration of several beautiful Greek islands with the excitement of travelling on a yacht . The guests on board all worked together well to help sail the yacht under the careful eye and patient tuition of Captain Phil

My family and I enjoyed our trip. Our tour manager was very knowledgeable and helpful. Our tour group was only 20 people which I enjoyed . Our entire trip was memorable.
The guys transporting us were really punctual, courteous, and kept us safe. Lino in Pompeii was fantastic! Nicola & Micaela were so hospitable and some of the best food I had in my 3 weeks in Italy was at Sant’ Alfonso Agriturismo. Everybody was top-notch on this trip, however, Vincenzo was the most exceptional Tour Leader and really made the experience unforgettable! He was personable, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable on all topics (with impeccable English)! He made the tour educational, entertaining, and memorable. He went above and beyond by assisting tour group members even on his own personal time. He helped individuals with post-tour travel plans, catching the right trains, and directing them on how to mail postcards to the USA. When the group expressed interest in doing an activity together on our free day, Vincenzo orchestrated a last-minute tour of a cheese making facility and a limoncello factory. He even spent his down time taking a few of us to a restaurant in Sorrento that was less touristy and popular among the locals. We were so grateful for this experience and for the cultural humility he espoused. It was evident that solo hiking and the resulting self evaluation have garnered him much wisdom and have tailored him to be an inspiring mentor. It was special to see him in his element as he prepared us for and led us on a hike on the Amalfi Coast. When someone is doing what they love, it always shows and is a gift to others involved. By the end of the trip he felt like an old friend! We will miss his storytelling and charisma!

I really enjoyed traveling with Expat Explore in this Europe Highlights Tour. It was very organized and we didn't encounter any problem at all. Roma was a very knowledgeable and informative tour guide and she makes sure that we follow our schedule. Meanwhile Peter was a very skilled driver, he knows his way around (I don't think he use Google map or gps to get to places hahahaha). We really felt safe during the entire trip. We love the hotels that we stayed, they're clean and some of them are spacious. I will definitely recommend Expat Explore to my friends and family!
Hiking the Camino is a wonderful adventure. It was "hard" and beyond rewarding. I would do this trip again and even longer if G Adventures were to offer such a trip. THANK YOU!

I highly recommend G Adventures for people traveling alone and want to step outside of the typical tourist locations and activities. The CEO was an absolute professional with great character and knowledge.

Good cycling on varied terrain; canal path for first day; country roads, cycling by the sea, dirt tracks, sandy tracks, woodland paths, all doable and fun. Lovely scenery, lots of history, beautiful old buildings and D-Day beaches Omaha and Juno and the museums to bring it to life. Very moving.
