Fabulous trip with an excellent guide. Taylor was very knowledgeable and great company to be with in New Zealand. She added extra bits into the itinerary to help us see more of New Zealand. Only minor critique would be to allow more time in the itinerary in Dunedin if possible but that’s only a small thing. Overall the itinerary is good and allows you to see a great deal of the country and to get a really good feel for the place. Would highly recommend.

This is a great trip with a varied itinerary that gives you a good taste of Vietnam. Our tour leader Tien was amazing, always on top of things and making sure we had the best time. The hotels were all very nice, although the sheraton and sofitel were a little bland in the scheme of things. Would definitely recommend the trip and do another upgraded trip with explore.

This was definitely the trip of a lifetime! Belize provided everything from jungle wildlife to Mayan temples and the most incredible snorkelling of our lives. We swam with a manatee, a mantaray, sharks, eagle rays and all kinds of other wonderful sea life. From the remote beauty of tiny Tobacco Caye to the fun, chilled vibe of Caye Caulker, and the magical wildlife including frogs, snakes (an enormous vine snake - don't worry, it wasn't poisonous), hummingbirds, and bats of the rainforest at TREES, we all absolutely loved this trip and will remember our Explore experience forever.

Very well thought out and packed itinerary, made possible by the wonderful travel director, coach driver, and local specialists. Takes out a lot of the stress of traveling while still leaving a lot of opportunity for you to explore at your own pace if you want.

first i would like to give a medal to our tour operator and the driver acropolis.. they were excellent in every way. the driver make us feel safe.. on the other hand excellence in taking care of the whole group... the tour guides were excellent in giving us information about greece history. very organize .. this is my second time to use trafargar and i will use it again and again

My husband and I joined a group of 14 for the Simply Japan tour in November and enjoyed a really fabulous memorable trip. We were very lucky with mostly sunny dry weather for the entire trip allowing us to enjoy the autumn colours. Our group got on well. We were guided by an outstanding multilingual guide, Raya, who was passionate and knowledgeable about Japan, particularly Japanese history and customs. The itinerary was a great introduction to the country, a full on whistlestop tour, so expect lots of daily walking through stations, markets and shrines and temples. Nice contrast between modern and traditional Japan. All accommodation was of a good standard. Recommend to top or tail the trip with a longer city stay to see more of Tokyo/Kyoto or Osaka (we had 3 extra nights in Tokyo at the beginning) as the real highlights of the tour are the bits in between - the magnificent Matsumoto Castle, stunning Zenkoji Temple in Nagano and the beautiful Miyaijma Island were my favourites, and the Shinkansen trains of course. The Hiroshima memorial museum was unpleasantly crammed full of people and school kids, too busy to appreciate the significance, although the peace park surrounding it was worth visiting and right next to our hotel. The Explore guide Raya helped to make the trip for us - so motivating and caring, and keen to navigate to help everyone enjoy this varied tour even on the free days.
