Upgraded - Walking in the Algarve

It was a very good well thought out programme of walks. The leader Rocio was excellent and the hotel accommodation was firdt class.

Fabulous tour Fabulous tour leader - Rocio Beautiful country Great hotel Lovely town Great restaurants Very happy

Rocio enthusiastically led our days, well briefed and always friendly. Tavira great base. Hotel good location to restaurants and the Porto Novo train station. Visited museum; Islamic museum and Fado. Great selection of restaurants. Great food especially fish at vfm prices. Walking varied and challenging , yet enjoyable.

This is my third trip with Explore. I really love this company. I get to meet amazing travellers from around the world who are all eager to have an immersive time. I especially like the guides. They are all incredibly positive, patient and knowledgeable. I think people underestimate how much work it is to be a guide. They have to be attentive and responsive at all times. Rocio was our guide for the Walking in Portugal trip. I learned so much from her! She has a deep knowledge of Portugal (historical, cultural and local habitat). Tavira is a wonderful village and the surrounding area was perfect for our daily walks. We also lucked out with beautiful weather and the spring blooms.

Really great tour, with just the right amount of walking. Rocio was an excellent tour leader who looked after us all very well, and went out of her way to help us plan what we'd like to do on our "Free Day". The new Explore App which you can put on your phone is a valuable "extra", as it gives all the info you need in one place, and the map is most useful part of the App for finding your way around when on your own

The tour was great, leisurely but very scenic walks. Rocio our tour leader was fantastic.

Great trip, excellent guide, great group of people on the trip
