Europe Local Culture Trips

A well planned itinerary circumnavigating the island to visit the major sites with the odd dart inland for even more. The minibus was comfortable, as were the hotels, which came in a variety of sizes and styles that added to the experience. Most were right in the heart of their communities, so there was never far to walk for sightseeing or amenities, such as restaurants. Apart from a brief period of Saharan wind and sand, we had perfect weather for sightseeing, sunny but not too hot. We enjoyed everywhere we went.

I joined this itinerary in April 2025 and was utterly blown away by the locations visited. Matera was stunning, Lecce's winding streets were beautiful with gems hidden round every corner, We stayed in a traditional Trulli house which was a personal highlight for me!

For someone that lives so close to Turkey I had no idea how vast the land was and how beautiful some of the places are in Turkey. I really enjoyed what a peaceful and gentle culture they have and the love for the animals.

I loved the itinerary! Saw so much in a week and at the same time did not feel rushed. I felt there was enough time to explore the highlights of the region. I enjoyed exploring Matera and Polignano a Mare. The lunch on day 5 was delicious - one of the best meals I have had in Italy. The coastal walk was lovely as well in Otranto. The places we stayed were so unique. I loved the Trulli house in Alberobello. I also loved the group and sharing the experience with like-minded people.

My G-adventures Spain, Portugal and Morocco tour was simply exceptional. Our CEOs were caring, knowledgeable and organized. Great memories created and I came away with so much to think about and digest.

This tour with some surprise stops definitely highlighted Portugal. I love that there is always the desire to support local and family run establishments. That's very important to me. I was in constant awe of my surroundings when exploring on my own or with the CEO. Our CEO Iri was definitely the backbone of the tour.
