This holiday was rated “full on” and it was. Not a moment was wasted! Tashkent, Khiva, Bukara and Samarkand were all amazing. Staying in a Madrasa and in a Yurt added to the authenticity and we took the extra trip to the desert castles which was well worth it. Also the silk paper making centre was interesting. Uzbekistan is a welcoming country - very clean with no litter and we were impressed with the flowers planted along grass verges for miles.

Busy itinerary mainly based on visiting lots of Greek/Roman sites which are all stunning and each with a unique character but also the opportunity to see some other more recent historical sites and some stunning scenery (beach, lake, mountains) to get an insight into the country. Lots of things to see and do on the free day at Kas. Good standard of accommodation and transport. Tour leader is very knowledgeable and genuinely friendly and chatty.

The Hotel on La Gomera was excellent and our guide Ester was brilliant. Flawless organisation, short comfortable mini-bus trips and well chosen walks. Some sections of the hikes were a bit challenging in the wet but Ester was always there to lend help and encouragement. The last night hotel wasn’t great but it was only for a few hours and close to the airport.

This trip was everything we had ever dreamed of and more. The great planning ensured that every detail was taken care of, leaving us free to fully embrace the experience. Most tours were private for my family. Minah and her team did a great job and highly recommend them!

I loved this trip! We did travel a lot of miles but it was worth it! We saw many temples from the painted Hindu temples to ones carved out of solid granite that had only recently been uncovered! We travelled on a toy train to Ooty and an overnight train to get us back to Chennai, we had an overnight stay on a houseboat in Kerala. We saw both the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea! And the food was varied and delicious…..🥳

This was my first visit to India and my first time using Explore. I have previously only ever travelled independently and therefore had to organise everything myself. This particular itinerary encompassed all destinations on my wish list and was organised with precision. Having 24 hour access to an extremely knowledgable, experienced and attentive guide was a luxury. The accommodation was great with a substantial breakfast available daily. I was a little wary of travelling within a group, but they were a lovely bunch of people who were all travelling with open minds, a must for a visit to India. The train journey was interesting any ideas of changing into nightwear were quickly quashed as it seems everyone just sleeps in their clothes, be mindful that this is no Orient Express but the experience is entirely authentic. This is a full throttle and, at times, white knuckle adventure within an amazing part of the world but Explore have their finger well and truly on the pulse. We covered many miles in our own bus again a complete luxury. I cannot praise our guide Raj enough, a complete professional who is a fabulous ambassador for both his country and Explore itself. Would highly recommend Explore and am already planning my next trip with them. Thank you Explore.

Superb itinerary to sample the different regions of Vietnam with a balance between culture and natural beauty. Highlights were the cruise in Halong Bay, exploring Hue's Citadel and the Mekong Delta homestay at Ben Tre. Hotels were all located in central locations and there was sufficient time allowed for personal exploration (or a relaxing massage)! The leader was excellent in terms of knowledge and friendliness. A wonderful trip!
