    We had a fantastic week hiking along lake Como. Gorgeous views, fantastic weather, super group and guide. A special week. Our hotel base for the week was great and superlative views out over the lake. Stunning!

    Shame the group of 8 Americans, with one exception, weren’t walkers and may not have realised it was a walking holiday- certainly their leisure trainers left a lot to be desired. Walks adjusted to accommodate non walkers One Australian lady’s trainers fell to bit’s after the first day and were replaced by another pair of fashion trainers. Won’t be using explore again for a walking holiday

    The trip was good but the logistics were horrific. Tour Radar never told me that I would be with Explore. Consequently, I never found the group at the airport. Where we were staying was a remote part at the top of Lake Como. Because I didn't meet up with the group for transportation, I had to take a taxi, 2 trains and a ferry to get there. It was stressful and a holiday weekend - so very crowded. For the ferry, I had to appeal to the mercy of the ticket agent as it was getting toward the end of the day for ferry operations. I did not even have the name of the Hotel, Trying to cover their - well, bases - Explore sent me the final documents 5 days into the trip on May 3rd. The date on the email for the documents was left off. Everyone else received the documents 3 weeks prior to the trip. Had I received them when I was supposed to have, I wouldn't have started my trip in such a horrific manner.
