“A recent extended trip to Spain provided us the opportunity to work closely with Just Explore and Ms. Rosa Lara. She leads an experienced staff and a vast professional network of drivers, tour guides, and problem solvers. They are prompt, courteous, friendly, and fluent in several languages. Their knowledge of regional culture and history is unparalleled.  Rosa adds a rare personal touch with genuine concern about her clients’ interests, enjoyment, and safety. We enjoyed every aspect of our travels through Spain – something we are certain was due to allowing Rosa shaping, then perfecting our stops and tours. We look forward to a return trip and to working with Rosa Lara and her fine team again. 

Muchas gracias!  Te queremos, Just Explore!”

” Rosa Lara is an absolute pleasure to work with. With regard to planning the trip, she was easy to talk to, quick to respond, and accommodating of all our requests and interests. We enjoyed the customisation of the trip. It was the leisurely pace we desired with all the freedom to absorb the culture and beauty of Spain. Everything went smoothly and any adjustments we wanted to make to our trip were executed perfectly”

“We have had an amazing winter holiday staying in several beautiful locations in Andalusia. We stayed 3 days in each city. All of the unique Spanish villas, apartments and hotels chosen by Just Explore were great locales, clean and comfortable. We opted not to drive so Rosa arranged trains as well as driving us herself from city to city. We were given numerous ideas & options to familiarise ourselves and a list of good restaurants in each new location. Our guides and drivers arrived in the morning to whisk us around old cities, beautiful architectural and historical sights, day trips into the mountains, wine tasting & olive oil production. The guides were approachable, knowledgeable and friendly and all so very proud of their heritage.

Andalusia: Fabulous destination
Just Explore: The itineraries are personally designed to meet your wishes!
Rosa Lara: Warm, friendly, attentive, efficient and a whole lot of fun!”

“We were fortunate to spend time in Spain with family over the Christmas holiday.  Rosa Lara was an organized and delightful tour guide, making sure that we experienced a comprehensive dose of Granada and Corboba during our short visit.  Her docent skills are excellent – we learned a lot about southern Spain in a short time!  We had superb food, a nice mix of sightseeing, and she coordinated a  fun tour guide (Ramón) for the Alhambra.  She was able to accommodate the interests and comfort levels of our family’s wide age span (teenager to retiree.)  We enjoyed her companionship, and highly recommend her and her company to anyone considering a trip to Spain.  Thank you, Rosa!! ”

“We very much enjoyed our trip in Southern Spain with Just Explore. Rosa  was creative, flexible and accommodating when unexpected obstacles arose, such as a flight delay or rain which derailed our outdoor plans.  We highly recommend this very personable travel planner and her services”

” What we most enjoyed were the small group visits you arranged such as to the olive oil producer and the winery. The foodie things were also fun eg to tapas bars and food halls. We also loved the flamenco performance and the visit to the horse show. All the accommodation was very good and really well located. In Madrid we were able to use the Metro as well as being able to walk to restaurants close to the hotel.  We loved meeting you and will happily recommend Just Explore to any fellow travellers who are thinking of going to Spain”

“Once we decided to go for a road-trip in Andalucia, we had the choice of organising the trip by ourselves or to use the experience of professionals. By surfing the internet, we discovered by chance the site of Just Explore. Considering our wishes and demands, Rosa composed a very interesting road-trip. No question we asked stayed unanswered, no effort was too much for her.
Although it was an self-drive road-trip, we had the luck to be guided by Rosa through Cordoba. It was a very nice experience, not only because of her professional knowledge but also because of her charming personality. During the trip, we always had the safety that in case of possible problems we could contact her.
You will never regret taking advantage of her services and knowledge!
Once again, in name of Timon, Sander and myself, I want to thank you for all your efforts for making a success of our trip. We really enjoyed it!”

“Our trip to Spain was incredible and unforgettable thanks to the wonderful guides and services of the tour company JUST EXPLORE. They took us through the beautiful cities , explaining the rich history of all the sites, they were so accommodating to our every need and were so flexible to tailor each outing to meet our needs and preferences. Their knowledge of all the sites was quiet impressive and we learned so much (like being in a living art and history lesson!) We would wholeheartedly recommend using Just Explore whenever you travel. It was like having old friends showing us around their cities that they know so well”
