Italy Trekking and Hiking Tour Reviews
Honest insights from past guests on our Trekking and Hiking Italy tours
Anette | Traveled in July
The trip was well organized, the itinerary good (we stuck to it, the hikes were beautiful and suitably challenging) and guide took well care of our needs. The public bus system is not optimized for peak season, and was a hazzle a couple of times. We took a private bus one morning, and having it available all days would have been practical. The hotel had bad internet/wifi and the communication by owner/personnel made me at times feel I was a nuisance. The hotel rooms were clean and comfortable.
Susan | Traveled in July
My hiking holiday in the Dolomites from 20th to 27th June was absolutely fantastic. The scenery is awesome, the hotel clean with fabulous food. Best of all though was Tour Leader, Jasmine :-) As the weather was very hot with thunderstorms on some afternoons, Jasmine flexed the itinerary to better suit walking in the heat and to avoid rain. Brilliant holiday all round. If only British Airways were so accessible and helpful when it canceled my flight on 27th June, offering no support at all.
Simoni | Traveled in July
It was an amazing experience. Our Explore leader Jasmin was super attentive and cared for every single detail regards to our safety and enjoyment. The group was a fun and friendly group. And of course, hiking the Dolomiti is like walking om a lost paradise! (with some extra sweat due the heatwave!). We will do it again.
Greg | Traveled in July
Excellent leadership provided by Jasmin who is knowledgeable, friendly, skilled, and supportive. The hotel staff were wonderful and the food was excellent. The hikes were beautiful and moderate. Our group established very quickly a friendly and supportive community that will probably endure long after the trip has ended. Well done Explore!
