Janet A. | Traveled in October
This really was a trip of a lifetime. Go with an open heart and mind. Manage your expectations of wildlife. It's in the name. It's amazing to see living creatures in their natural habitat with no fear of humans.
Anonymous | Traveled in October
This was our 4th trip with Explore and it did not disappoint. It really was the trip of a lifetime and we loved every minute of it. Our guide Diego was absolutely fabulous and really made the trip very enjoyable and educational for us all. The wildlife is astounding!
Judy | Traveled in October
The tour gave a fantastic opportunity to experience many aspects of Ecuador and the Galapagos, both its culture and its incredible biodiversity. The tour is very well organised by Explore!; we felt safe at all times and our guide, Diego, was exceptional, adding so much more to the tour than just 'guiding' us. His passion for and knowledge of his country was inspirational.
Sally | Traveled in October
Diego was a fantastic tour leader. He managed the adversity of the itinerary when it had to be changed due to civil unrest, he kept us up to date with the situation and produced a great variety of alternative destinations. He was very interested in the wildlife and flora, he was able to take wonderful pictures of the things we saw - which he shared with us. He was passionate and very knowledgeable about his country and passed that enthusiasm to us. The itinerary was varied and the days were full. My only comment would be that it would be nicer to sometimes have meals at the end of the day instead of big meals at lunchtime.
Rhiahn M. | Traveled in October
The South American explorer was amazing. Lots of fun and unique experiences I wouldn’t have experienced without contiki. It was a good balance of partying and non partying. Our trip manager was also the best, he was awesome and so fun, he really looked after us. One of the guides on the Inca trail was amazing too
Helen | Traveled in October
Our Explore holiday was fantastic.Diego Torres was our local guide. He spent everyday with us and made sure we knew what we were doing and were safe. No words to explain how good he was. We were expertly guided every day. His enthusiasm for wildlife was fantastic and we all gained from his positive energy. And taking us for Great Experiences All our guides in The Galapagos were also excellent and we would highly recommend them all. They told us about the island as well as sharing their enthusiastic for wildlife. Diana of IsobelaMiayari of IsobelaJamie of Santa Cruz
