I really enjoyed my trip as I have always enjoyed my Explore trips. The group were great company and Van looked after us really well. Will definitely recommend to others.
Lalit Regar, our guide, really was the best! Cool calm knowledgable professional and flexible. Couldn't have asked for more! Excellent trip. Excellent leader!
Leech socks are definitely needed and were provided by the guide - if we had known this we would not have gone to the expense of buying our own. Other than that we had an amazing time and would definately recommend this trip to others.
Optional trips really did bump the cost up. Some felt overpriced, considering the cost of living in Egypt. I did most of them, they were all enjoyable but at times there would not have been anything else to do.
Thank you, this was a brilliant trip made outstanding thanks to Rejanish's professionalism and wonderful personality. Thank you, also, for sorting out a flight home without delay, after Jet Airways folded.

There was a lot of concern in the group regarding 'free time'. Those not on the Group Visa were sometimes allowed to go off alone, and at other times were not. I trusted our Guide to have the information and knowledge to advise us day-to-day on this.
Departure arrangements at Marrakech airport were shambolic. It may be worth warning travellers that, after security, they face a very long queue at passport control, with hopelessly inadequate arrangements for prioritising those with imminent departures.
Great trip, just wish I'd read the information provided by Explore more carefully before I packed. It was generally cooler in the central uplands than I expected but I coped!
The airport transfers were very good, but I would not recommend Uzbekistan Airlines, except for their food which was good. Excellent trip. Excellent leader! Would recommend.
Great trip all round, the beginning 80% was absolutely brilliant but the travel/traffic and general hanging around at the end put a bit of a dampener on the trip.
First experience with Explore! - v impressed! Here's a good tip - the overnight bag which is mentioned in the trip notes really has to be quite small because we walk with them a fair distance and put them in lockers whilst we go out exploring. My overnight bag was too big. Eating out was much more affordable than expected and really good. Overall a fantastic trip with Explore.

I would highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to visit a little known area of Europe.
One should do more in Moldova. 1

One should do more in Moldova, possibly add another day or curtail the hours one spent on the picnic.

It a great trip that seemed much longer than the few days we were there due to a great leader, great group and packing so much in.
Great tour from start to end. Thanks. Pity some tours unavailable in teaching holiday time meaning I occasionally have to book with another company.
Great trip which more then met all of our needs and expectations. Also the tour was greatly helped by the small size of group (seven who all got on well together) and our excellent tour leader.
Here's hoping that Explore will run a Nicaragua-only trip in future, as it wasn't possible to travel there this time. There were defined 'no-go' areas, most notably in Suchitoto. It might be helpful if the specific risks were more clearly shared - it was hard to judge whether the risks were mild, moderate or severe.
The whole trip was excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The only negative was the charge of ?47 for a transfer from the airport to the hotel on arrival. As this journey was less than ten minutes and provided by the hotel shuttle this charge seems excessive.
At least for us Norwegians I would say that there could have been more food on the included dinners. I hope Explore take good care of Thomas Siebert, he was, in every sence a perfect tour leader.
I hope to do another trip with Explore! It was interesting being the only American in our group, but that gave me insights into British culture since the rest of my group was form the UK. I also found the fact that all 7 of the group were single travelers a plus.
