What People Are Saying

“I absolutely loved every minute of it!  It was one of the most enjoyable travel experiences I’ve had—a wonderful combination of hiking and outdoor activities with thought-provoking exploration of the history of a region that I knew so little about.  I’m sure that the geographic proximity to and political peril of the war in Ukraine heightened the experience.  I loved the intimacy of our little group and the opportunity to learn from both of you so much about your country and its history.   Probably the most surprising feature of the trip was the fantastic food.”

— Martha P., Atlanta, Pearls of the Baltic trip

“Taking a trip with Jiri and Zuzana was a wonderful way to explore Hungary, Slovakia and Poland. Together with new and old friends we hiked up and down mountains and along wooded trails. There were opportunities to take guided tours of Budapest, take a dinner cruise along the Danube, and enjoy Krakow history. Jiri and Zuzana made sure the trip exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend those looking for an outdoor challenge with sightseeing in the mix to go with iExplorEurope!”

— Sandi R., Siux Falls, Eastern Europe trip

“Jiri and Zuzana arranged a wonderful trip through Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia for us.  Our days were a perfect mix of hiking, touring, and wonderful meals.  We hiked through such beautiful areas!  The tour guides were so knowledgeable and a pleasure to talk to.  We all learned so much from them.  Jiri and Zuzana made all of the arrangements, so all we had to do was enjoy our incredible trip.  We are all looking forward to our next trip with Jiri and Zuzana.”

  • "Traveling with Zuzana and Jiri is fun, good exercise, educational, and a pleasure. They handle everything and can accommodate guests' needs and preferences. We especially like that their trips include less-traveled roads and sites. It's like traveling with very competent and knowledgeable good friends."

  • Zuzana and Jiri are knowledgeable, experienced and committed to making your travel with them a special experience. They are fun, well organized and it is clear that they enjoy what they do. Their warm and caring personalities add so much joy to the adventure.

    The Eastern Europe trip is a wonderful balance of history, culture, and beautiful sights. The hikes are a special opportunity to enjoy the gorgeous natural beauty of the countryside. We felt like we got an insider's look at this beautiful part of the world.

  • I had the pleasure of being 1 of 6 lucky individuals who traveled with Zuzana and Jirka. We did the Eastern Europe trip and it was perfect in every way. Zuzana and Jirka are knowledgeable and attentive. They were flexible and willing to make adjustments to accommodate some special requests and needs, as well as the weather. The van and all of the hotels and meals were first rate, and Zuzana and Jirka were well prepared for our hikes with water, snacks, and first aid (which I’m happy to say no one needed). If you’re looking for a small group and moderate hiking, I highly recommend Zuzana and Jirka’s iExplore Europe!!!

  • I have been lucky enough to travel to every continent in the world and have been on countless tours. Not only did my trip with Jiri and Zuzana live up to the description on their website, “perfect balance of physical activity, beautiful scenery, culture, history and gastronomy,” but it surpassed my hopes in every category! Jiri and Zuzana were absolutely wonderful! They were very attentive to our individual preferences, organized yet flexible, knowledgeable of the history and culture of the places we visited, and they made sure that we all had fun.
