Recent Reviews What our clients are saying about touring Italy & Sicily

Malta and Gozo     , VIC, Australia, Mar 2024
The trip lasted 7 days. For the first 4 days which included 3 days on Gozo and the 1st day in Malta was an absolute shambles. We were not met from the ferry in Gozo, the guide was too busy talking in the bus with the driver and didn’t notice this very big ferry had docked. One of our group decided to do a car park search after waiting for 3/4 an hour ...read more and found them ! The guide was not interested and did it because she had to. A very unpleasant experience. Arriving Malta and checked in to our hotel. A guide took us out to dinner but never saw her again. The next day was a public holiday which saw the group waiting in the lobby with no idea who, what or when we were being met. Phone call made to the local office to enquire what were the plans and that person was spoken to in such a condescending manner and the attitude was unbelievable which prompted another of the group to phone and email the head office in UK and made a complaint.

A guide was produced at 10 am who also did not want to be there, our entire ‘tour’ of Valletta took 2 hours only and then we were told to take the local bus home as the tour bus was leaving at 1pm!! After the complaint was made to the UK office, the next 3 days we had marvellous guides and the best driver ever who virtually saved the trip from total disaster. The accommodation was 3 star at best, however, was clean and breakfast provided. The group was made up of people from USA, UK and AUS. We all rubbed along quite well. From this experience, I have also emailed the UK head office with a more detailed description of the total lack of communication and attitude from the local Maltese office. Would I go on another Explore trip…. I would really have to think about it but at the moment, no.
Wonders of Italy   , NSW, Australia, Nov 2023
Tour highlights include the Vatican, optional dinner Rome, Cinque Terra, optional Statue of David, Be My Guest Dinner, farewell dinner, tour guide driver and local specialists. Great hotels in excellent locations. easy of booking online with Global Journeys.
Great walking in beautiful part of Italy     , ACT, Australia, Oct 2023
Good range of walks with great guide. Staying above main tourist areas of the Amalfi Coast which enabled you to escape the main tourist crush, though great to visit these as part of the itinerary walks. Shorter walks on this tour compared to some tours but higher intensity with lots of steps (often down) which tended to be uneven so can be challenging. ...read more This is the most popular tour on the Exodus list, with 3 walking groups doing this trip at the same time. The walks were coordinated so each group took a different route each day but quite busy at the accommodation with that many groups ‘on the go’. The day spent on Mt Vesuvius including walking the edge of the crater and visiting Pompeii was amazing- great local guides making these times special.
Best of Italy Tour   , QLD, Australia, Oct 2023
Our “Best of Italy” tour with Intrepid Travel was fabulous. We went to so many wonderful places on this tour & our tour leader, Lucrezia, was wonderful throughout our tour. Tracey Standing with Global Journeys who we booked the tour through, was very helpful & always available for any queries we had. She made the booking process & subsequent information ...read more seamless. We can recommend both Tracey at Global Journeys & the Intrepid Best of Italy tour very highly.
