“There were a lot of optional tours for $5-$20; sometimes we were offered 4 or 5 optional tours in the same afternoon, and it was obviously hard to get consensus, so the guide did all of them, even though not everyone wanted that. One day these came before a tour which was included, so people felt obliged to do the optional tours, or had to sit around and wait for them to finish, which was frustrating.
Explore's estimate of daily spending was way out.. .meals were about £2 - the most we paid was £5 (once!).
Overall, it was a brilliant trip... we were very lucky to have Reza as our guide. The Iranian people were incredibly welcoming, open and hospitable. The places we visited were stunning, and I'd recommend the trip to anyone.”

“I would've liked to see more of Malaysia ie the Camaroon Highlands but that would need a few more days added to the holiday. Also the last hotel Fave Cenang Beach hotel was at least 10 minutes away from the actual beach and as we were there 3 nights, we should've been given quieter rooms facing the rear In the 1st place instead of at least 2 in our party having to pay extra to move. This is a transit and group basic hotel and let down this tour. After paying a single room supplement, we paid double the price of the room rate advertised on their website, this should not have happened. I had reception contact maintenance as my loo seat was discoloured and rough, happily they quickly sorted this and put a brand new on , I was a happy bunny! ”
