UK Britain Tours and Trips

Thoroughly enjoyed the trip - such a variety of experiences and a wonderful tour guide ‘Mimi’ - he has a huge passion and wealth of knowledge about Sri Lanka (and a wicked sense of humour!) The accommodation was on the whole of a better standard than previous Explore trips I’ve been on. But this may have been down to the fantastic Sri Lankan people who were employed at the hotels. Highlight for me would have to be the Elephant Transit Home - it was slightly bittersweet in as much as you knew those young elephants had been orphaned but they were being given the opportunity to be rehabilitated. Some really interesting temples - although the trip maybe a little temple heavy in the fees few days.

I found the leader welcoming and very helpful. However I found the trip too full often arriving at accommodations just before supper time giving little time to wind down or, for the more energetic, time to explore. I would prefer a more relaxed schedule and would recommend adding a facility to the website where I could actually sort trips according to level of physical activity.

The trip was a great way the see europe and what it has the offer. The trip leader and driver were amazing. Nothing was a issue and they made sure we had the best time. Thank you Virginia and Mehia

The itinerary was great and allowed our tour group to see amazing sites and memorable experiences. Only one event was allotted double the time it should have for a dinner and entertainment.

Excellent tour- largely due to Theo, our outstanding tour guide who went above and beyond! Hotels - mixed. Most were excellent but the hotel in Hoi An, despite a great location, did not live up to the"upgraded" category. Food - outstanding Itinerary - overall was excellent, although I thought that the time in Mekong could have been better spend elsewhere; perhaps another night in Hue or Hoi An. Overall, it was a great tour!

We had an amazing time on this tour, helped by the beautiful weather we experienced . We felt we got to see the real Vietnam, not just the touristy sites. We really enjoyed the variety of activities set up for us: from bike tours to boat trips, from cookery classes to meeting local artisans. We loved the visit to the organic farm in Hoi An as we have an allotment ourselves. The standard of accommodation was very high throughout and the Tour leader - Theo- was fantastic: extremely knowledgeable as well as caring. We really enjoyed his company and his infectious cheerfulness. We have no hesitation in recommending this Tour to others .
