What travelers are saying

"A fabulous tour program very competently delivered by the guide Irina. The accommodation was generally good with only two hotels didn’t have lifts, requiring bags to be carried. It is difficult for persons travelling across the world for an extensive time in Europe after this tour to pack small bags suitable for just a two week holiday. If you have a restricted diet like gluten free you will be challenged in this country so I suggest you pack food to get you by as most hotels on the tour didn’t have any knowledge. Fortunately Irina assisted me greatly with navigating the menus and staff to a large extent and I did pack my own protein shakes and snack bars. The itinerary at the beginning of the tour needs updating by Explore. Please note the National Historical Museum in Tirana has been closed since the earthquake of 2019! And the BunkArt 1 was closed on the day our itinerary advertised it on the program ( apparently every Monday it is closed). Had I known that it would not be visited I would have gone myself in the few days before the tour started. I had particularly looked forward to these two highlights on the itinerary and was very disappointed. However, the rest of the itinerary was fabulous after a poor start. I might add this had nothing to do with the guide who was extremely professional. Many of us on tour became ill, including myself. DO NOT DRINK the water offered at hotels with cups of tea etc as I believe that the water was not heated to boiling point and therefore contributed to our illness. Fruit juices also had locally sourced water added at some hotels. If you are a tea drinker I highly recommend you bring teabags and a small travel jug and fill with bottled water as jugs are not provided in any hotels in Albanian. Being a coffee drinking culture, they have little knowledge of how tea drinks, other than Luke warm mountain tea. Overall, despite these issues the guide Irina and our driver Faarti were fabulous and made the tour wonderful. Albania is a truly beautiful country with varying landscapes and spectacular mountain views. I felt very safe travelling in this country and found the people welcoming."

What travelers are saying

"I've travelled with Intrepid in Vietnam, Morocco, Nepal and Egypt and had a brilliant time every time. The experience is better than most tours as you are in a small group that goes a bit more 'off the beaten track', and you don't get taken to endless shopping opportunites (i.e. a cousin's carpet shop). They also have higher ethics than most travel companies, they contribute to local charities and they avoid animal use (donkeys etc) where possible. The tour leaders we have had have all been wonderful, knowledgable and relaxed, with good english."

Danang, Halong Bay , Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh, Hoi An , Hue, Mekong Delta

After spending time admiring Hoi An’s World Heritage-listed ancient town, hop on a bike and pedal beside rice fields and through small villages on a guided bicycle tour of the surrounding countryside.
Spend two days on Cat Ba Island relaxing on tiny beaches, hiking through verdant jungle and kayaking around karst-studded Lan Ha Bay. It’s just like Halong, but with fewer tourists!
Cruise around the backwater canals of the Mekong Delta – the ‘rice bowl’ of Vietnam – and discover rural life and local interactions along the shores with your small group.

"Loved Montserrat, Albaicin, Toledo and the many cathedrals. Saw and learned so much about Spanish history and culture from our guides and while viewing the areas on our bus tour. So much to see and do in Barcelona and Madrid-glad we added extra day to each. Hotels were excellent! Angela Silvestre was a perfect instructional and caring guide!"
