Galapagos Adventure: Snorkelling & Sea Lions Galápagos Adventure: Snorkelling & Sea Lions , NC, United States, Sep 2025
The tours and activities were great! Really enjoyed our leader. Felt like he was very knowledgeable and he was very personable. One complaint-breakfasts were way too small. Nina from Global Journeys was extremely helpful. Especially since I made arrangements kind of last minute.
Great cruise   Istanbul And Greek Islands , QLD, Australia, Sep 2025

Wonderful walking tour of 4 Greek Islands Greek Island Wanderer , QLD, Australia, Sep 2025
This was my 4th tour with Explore. Another enjoyable tour with a fantastic young Greek tour leader: very professional, friendly and organised who led us on our walks and organised us with getting on and off ferries and using local buses. A great group of 11 travellers from UK, USA and 1 other Australian. We enjoyed great food and wine at restaurants read more recommended by the tour leader. We visited: Syros, Paros, Naxos and Santorini. Highlights were: the walks, including 1 along a marble Byzantine road and the optional cooking class in Paros. Accommodation in Naxos was not that good and our visit was hampered by rain. This was the 1st of 3 tours I did in 6 weeks, all arranged with the helpful and friendly assistance of Georgie and Hannah.

Greece has always been an intriguing country because if its impact on language, plus philosophy and mathematics. And oh! those wonderful gods and goddesses. Their power and behaviour! The 8 day/4 days cruise of the islands was delightful. Our Tour Director. Themis, is fabulous. She loves her job and it shows. She is so enthusiastic and well organized. read more Themis is very caring and kind - she watches closely the well being of her group, and has loads of information to impart. She is a very special person and makes this tour an excellent choice.
Croatia is Beautiful Explore Croatia , VIC, Australia, Sep 2025
Croatia would have to be one of the most picturesque places I have travelled to. Even the bus trip from the airport to Dubrovnik was beautiful. I highly recommend this destination.
