  "A great week of hiking along the gorgeous Almalfi Coast! A fantastic week with a great tour leader with a fun group. Spent the week forming a real bond with a small group of 14 adventurous hikers. Our final hike "The Path of the Gods" lived up to its billing as one of the most incredible hikes you can take. Thoroughly enjoyed our first Explore small group tour and hope to do another in the future.

  "I loved this tour of Sicily. The accommodations were all very nice, and the tour guides were fantastic. This tour was a little different than I expected where there isn’t a tour guide overall. You never meet the organizers. Each day you have a different guide and driver. It was fine, just not what I expected. A couple of the days were long, but overall you have lots of free time. Perfect choices of towns. I would recommend that the drivers that are also guides, have a microphone, as it is difficult to hear in the back of the van. I recommend this tour, Sicily is amazing.

  "We just returned from our 10 day Italian Discovery tour-here are our thoughts: Can't say enough about the beauty of everything we saw & the nice people we encountered on this trip. HOWEVER, this is NOT a consistent tour-Meaning,I thought that we were booked on a tour with the same guide & driver for the whole 10 day trip-and also that there would be a maximum of 30 people as stated in the description. Day 1-5 we had a GREAT Guide Stefano & a GREAT driver-Luigi. We stopped to pick up other passengers at a diff't hotel on day one-those people had a partial version of our tour.That made it more than the 30 max-there were 36-38 people- So ask-if this is not what you want- We had several different people added to our tour throughout our trip-often dropping them at another hotel at night. Days 6-9 were a mishmash of diff't drivers and local guides, some with confusing information. There are a few excursion days where you have a local guide, and after the tour-need to find your way back to your hotel on your own ( they did tell you how to do that-but I would prefer to have the same bus take us back to the hotel.) Some of the hotels were 3 star at best due to quirky rooms, others were better-but the food whenever included was usually good. The included lunch in Motepulciano was fabulous! Capri/Blue Grotto day, which was our last day was definitely the most challenging-with literally 9 modes of transportation-mini bus-ferry-smaller boat-row boat & back again-also the guide on the bus messed up our hotel and took us to the wrong one-making a group of us have to take a taxi back to the hotel we thought we were staying at ( by this time 10:30 at night) Overall, there could be more time for shopping & more organization of where the tour guides meet you at the end of the tours. You start every day very earl and pack a lot in-Get ready for a LOT of walking-bring good walking shoes! Make sure you have coins for the public bathrooms! I think with a few tweaks-this could be a great tour-but will definitely check that it is one group of people for the entire time on our next trip!
