The trip was excellent. Caroline and Sam were wonderful. Caroline provided great information and Sam got us safely to every venue. Both were incredibly personal and caring. A few people got ill on the trip and they took care to get people to doctors and hospitals. I learned a great deal about Tasmania and had a wonderful time. The weather did not cooperate at times but that did not stop folks from having a good time.

Although the itinerary was excellent it was somewhat marred by road conditions - slow progress through roadworks and excessive dust. We had the same driver for the whole tour and he was excellent. Our guide was generally very good but sometimes things did get lost in translation. It wasn’t listed in the itinerary but 3 of us did the brewery tour which was a short walk from the Riverside Resort. The beer and the tour were excellent Bandipur was a total delight even though it was very cold.

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.

Had a fabulous trip - thanks to Explore for the full and varied itinerary and to Inder for being our superb tour leader. He guided us with great skill and went above and beyond to help make the holiday so special. He had great patience and was constantly checking that no-one was left behind after each opportunity to take photos of the amazing architecture. He took us to many good (and inexpensive) restaurants and although we packed in many different experiences we never felt rushed. We were also lucky to have an excellent driver Ali, and Rakesh helped look after us on the minibus. As a result of this trip, I hope to experience many more Explore holidays.

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.
