What travelers are saying

"This is my fifth trip with Explore and it didn’t disappoint me. The organisation and itinerary was very good despite the 24hr delay in one couple joining us. Everything was fantastic with even some of our camp accommodation being upgraded! A special thanks to Salah, our guide for his humour, knowledge patience and huge efforts to give us the most incredible holiday experience!"

What travelers are saying

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."
