Accommodations were always very nice and the itinerary was amazing. Our Explore Leader, Manny, was the Best! She was so informative, set up special group meals where we could attend if we wanted to. She had amazing knowledge of everywhere we went and had such a great sense of humor. Our group was small and we all got along so well and much of this is attributed to Manny. Thank You! I look forward to traveling with your company again.

My wife Katie and I had a trip of a lifetime with this tour! The detailed planning and execution of Explore's itinerary on the Amalfi coast results in a superb vacation experience.
We were thoughtfully guided and cared for by our expert guide Satva, who taught us so much about the area. She also did a wonderful job of coordinating numerous details, carefully pacing our hikes to accommodate everyone in the group, and getting to know everyone personally. We felt like one big family by the end of the week!
It's difficult to pull out highlights of the trip when everything was so amazing, but I'll try to summarize a Top 10 here:
1. The family-run hotel in St. Lazzaro is very welcoming and charming.
2. Also, their pizza is world-class, and we took part in a pizza-making lecture that was very informative and personal.
3. Hiking through fields of herbs, where you can smell rosemary, thyme, basil, oregano, and others just growing in the wild!
4. The ferry to and from Capri, and the day spent there. Stunning!
5. Swimming in the Tyrrhenian Sea on the main beach of Positano.
6. Enjoying lemon or Aperol spritzes and snacks during our daily aperitivi.
7. Hiking the Path of the Gods.
8. The pasta and mozzarella making class at a small local farm!
9. The day trip to Pompeii and Herculaneum.
10. Meeting other hikers from the US, UK, and Canada and hearing their stories.
We are looking forward to traveling with Explore again soon and can't recommend them enough!
