About this event
As the world re-opens, we’re raring and ready to go. So, if your feet are itching to travel again and you’re ready for your next adventure, watch this recording to find out about the most talked about trips set to take 2022 by storm and what to expect when travelling on an Explore tour.
Nothing gets you closer to a country than walking or cycling through it. If you’re one of the many who have discovered a new appreciation for the great outdoors, we’ve got trips to suit all levels of ability. Cycle Croatia’s sun-drenched Dalmatian Coast, stroll Italy’s Amalfi Coast or walk Gran Canaria’s volcanic landscapes.
Our new London2 train tours are about the journey just as much as the destination. Starting in London and travelling by train to each destination, no matter whether you choose an iconic train route like London to Istanbul or a more unusual route like London to Ukraine, we’ve been sure to include the must-see attractions as well as off-the-tourist-trail gems.
Are you ready to seize the moment and go on an ultimate bucket list adventure? Why not consider walking the Inca Trail in Peru, witness awe-inspiring scenery and wildlife on a Polar voyage or watch the Northern Lights from your yurt in Iceland.
And, if you think you’ve done it all, take a look at some of our brand new trips; explore the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, take an overland adventure along Pakistan’s Karakoram Highway or discover contrasting landscapes on a trekking adventure in Oman.

You’ll be joined by like-minded travel companions, as well as a local tour leader with in-depth knowledge of your destination. Our average group size is just 12; not so big that you’re lost in a coach-load of people, but big enough to make new friends.
