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

"Trip of a lifetime! We loved Spain & Portugal and saw way more amazing and wonderful places & things than we ever expected. Our Tour Director Toni Aguilar made the entire trip even more special. He was simply terrific and such a decent person. Thank you Toni. Itinerary just fine. Main challenge for us was the unexpected pretty constant go go go rush rush rush. No one’s fault as we now understand how Land Tours truly work hard to have us see as much as possible in limited time frames. Overall, we were very pleased."

What travelers are saying

"The 13 day trip was packed with exciting destinations from the start. We were able to see architecture from the 7th century, along with palaces, castles and churches from centuries gone by. Our tour director, *************, was incredibly knowledgeable about the areas we visited. He and our driver, Karoly, took us on the best European trip we have had so far. Zermatt and The Matterhorn were my favorites. We would definitely use Trafalgar again and would try to book with Tony and Karoly. Thank you!!"
