Spain Tours in August 2026

It was the best tour we have gone on. As the group was only 18 people, we all became very good friends, something we have never experienced before. Our tour guide Sonia Bugarin was absolutely wonderful. Her knowledge of every place was amazing. She was always happy and very caring on a personal level for each person on the tour. The whole tour was perfect.

The tour was well organised and led superbly by our Tour Leader Sonia. Our bus was very comfortable and our driver was excellent. The hotels were unique as were many of the destinations on the tour. The hotels with swimming pools were particularly welcome given the extremely high temperatures which some if us found hard to cope with. We had a lovely group on our tour - all Australian with the addition of two kiwi ladies. Our group were of similar ages and we shared an unforgettable experience that has really bonded us together.

Would definitely recommend this trip, a great way to see southern Spain. Our tour guide, Sonia, was absolutely fantastic and her knowledge and helpfulness was excellent. Our driver Jorge, always felt very safe, which helped make our trip so memorable, not to mention the great, fun group of people we travelled with. K. & M Naylor

Our tour leader had excellent local knowledge and gave us many insights into the local way of life. I visited during a heatwave when several wild fires developed on the hillsides. The tour leader adjusted the itinerary so that we were able to complete all planned activities, despite trail closures which occurred later in the week. The group were very friendly with a wide range of ages, most were travelling alone. I was nervous about going on holiday alone but from the moment I stepped off the plane at Bilbao airport I felt welcomed and part of the group.

I was hesitant signing in to this venture, since at 71 years of age, it was my first trip traveling solo, my first trip with explorer, as well as my first trip on a multiday trekking trip. I had a great time, the accommodation, the food and the landscape exceeded my expectations. I am already looking into my next adventure with explorer.

The days hiking plan was explained well on the evening before by our excellent guide. He provided an interesting and at times challenging itinerary that was flexible as dictated by ability, weather and individual/group wishes. The accommodation and food was as explained in the Explore information. A well managed family hotel with plenty of wholesome local food.
