Europe Tours in November 2026

Bert was a fantastic guide - nothing too much trouble, very patient, knowledgeable and organised. He even made sure we got our boat tickets to visit another part of the island on the rest day - which was above and beyond his responsibilities. The hikes were great, island very beautiful and good variety of landscape. We also had bonus of the wonderful Ester - a trainee guide of very high caliber. Group camaraderie was fab - it’s a holiday I will always treasure

This tour was perfect for those passionate about ancient history and the evolution of civilizations, all while enjoying stunning landscapes and modern cultures. Our tour guides for Greece and Turkey were exceptional, significantly contributing to the tour's success. They brilliantly intertwined the contemporary and ancient histories of both countries. The food was delicious, and the hotels often surpassed our expectations.

This is a great trip if you want to do some walking in the sunshine. The walks are varied and take you all over Lanzarote. Pack your swimmers & a trek towel as we stopped at some beautiful beaches and there was time for swimming in the sea. On the non walking day a few of us made the suggested excursion to Graciosa and hired mountain bikes to cycle around the island. I’d recommend this if you have the energy, if not the pool at the apartment complex is also nice 😀. Overall a really good holiday.

I think this travel style is great if you are young and on a shoestring budget but the experience was a bit of a hit or miss when it comes to the hostel or transportation. The people were amazing and we had just enough information to figure out what we want to do that day but there's a room for improvement in organization. Overall it was fun but I'm hesitant to do Roamies again.

Really enjoyable holiday with a lovely group of people and a knowledgeable and supportive guide. I will book again with Explore for walking in a different country. I found them very helpful on the telephone when booking. Thank you so much.

Kathleen was an excellent tour leader with a strong knowledge of Portugal. Casa Azul was an excellent base with friendly and helpful staff. Nice large clean rooms and a substantial breakfast.
