North America Tours and Trips

Miguel was an excellent tour guide during our full-on five country tour of Central America. It’s not a tour for everyone as there is little free time but I loved it. Volcanoes, wildlife, Mayan ruins, local culture and yet more volcanoes - what’s not to like! We did the Costa Rica to Guatemala route and felt this flowed better than the alternative would have - particularly finishing up in a lovely hotel in Antigua.

Fast paced itinerary giving multiple chances to experience wildlife in coastal, inland, riverine and jungle environments as well as Mayan history and wonderful modern culture/people of Belize. Our fantastic tour leader Justin Willshire made it all work behind the scenes but he also truly enjoys his job and this shines through in his approach and sociable engagement. Our driver and various expert guides completed the picture. Loved the whole two weeks although some of the accommodation could have been better.

The 3 Central America countries cycling trip could be a logistic nightmare, but Mike managed with aplomb, and the changing of bikes, crossing of borders etc. become part of the fun. Mike was truly excellent and we would thoroughly recommend the trip, despite some wet weather. The contrast between the countries was interesting and Mike was a mine of information. This was our 6th Explore cycling trip, and though they have all been great, this was near the top.

Great varied trip. Tour leader Mike, was fantastic. Some challenging cycle rides and long bus journeys, but made up for by the variety of the trip and amount we saw

The New England islands were very beautiful with fall foliage - Newport , Martha vineyards , Nantucket , Plymouth - I learned a lot about history & beautiful mansions . Seafood restaurants and lobster meals are excellent . Moriah the tour director was very patient , knowledgeable , detail oriented and made the tour very memorable . The bus driver was excellent . I’m very happy with the tour . The only downside was the tour was at the end of the season so most shops are closed but I had a great time . Thank you Colette for a wonderful time and memory .

The most amazing trip across the states where I truly feel like I have lived and seen SO much for the time we spent! This trip is jam packed with a busy agenda including lots of moving about, activities and optional extras, it's exactly what I wanted. Thank you to our legendary tour guide for keeping the energy sky high throughout and to a lovely group of people to have shared it with. :-)
