Simple stays with essential amenities. Typically guesthouses, hostels or hotels rated below 3 stars — clean, no-frills, and great for value-conscious travelers.
Comfortable and reliable 3-star stays. Expect private rooms, en-suite bathrooms, and solid amenities — a great balance between comfort and cost.
Upscale 4-5 star hotels and lodges. Enjoy high-end service, refined comfort, and premium locations — ideal for travelers seeking extra indulgence.
The tour is described as ‘full on’, which is an understatement. An incredible amount of sights and experiences is crammed into the week of travel; it’s exhausting and exhilarating. Moorish architecture, Roman mosaics, snowy mountains, the Sahara desert, souks and camels and macaques. Amazing.

5/5. Using this service for your upcoming trip to Italy is highly recommended! The entire procedure went quite well. The drivers, guides, and tours they arranged for us were all wonderful, helpful. All of our questions received prompt responses from Sinan and Alex. I couldn't imagine returning to Italy without making use of this tour company once more! We had an amazing time!
We were anxious at first to travel for 18 days with a group. But the tour was planned so well and Michelle was so professional. She always have a heads up on what to expect, So kids were also prepared their minds for what to expect. The itinerary covered lot of ground but we didn't feel it to be very fast paced too. There was one under par hotel ( the one in Toulous) which we didn't like. The rest of hotels n breakfasts were great. Thank you!
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.

Turkey is a country that divides people. Some love it, some don't. Nevertheless, had an amazing time and cannot recommend this tour enough. You might not love their political landscape, but that does not mean you won't love travelling in beautiful Turkey.
This is a fantastic tour! Oz, our guide was very competent, caring and approachable.
His dedication and knowledge made this trip very enjoyable.
The group was very good and fun!

Maria was the greatest. I had so much fun! A great mix or relaxation and partying. Not as full on as a Contiki tour, which was great. Also Maria was literally so helpful and went out of her way to be helpful and kind and enjoyable. It was really nice to have someone do the planning for you, so I kind of felt like I was on vacation with a parent who just told me where to go or what to do, so I didn’t have to think about it.

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 .

The tour offered life enriching experiences. The amazing architectural structures in Spain and Portugal blow me away. I liked the pace of the tour not rushing every morning.the included dinners were real authentic Spanish dishes like paella with seafood . Wine tasting was phenomenal. Gustavo as a guide did a great job . Impressed with his energy and restaurant tricks. Optionals were very picturesque and historical. In 15 days I think I've seen more gorgeous places than I ever expected.
