Central America Active and outdoor Trips

The tour was a huge success in all ways and a wonderful experience. I was with a great group of people. The itinerary was good and everything was well planned. The gaps in the itinerary left free time to do individual things or join in with others. The Guide, Diego was a huge part of the success of the trip. He showed commitment to the group at all times and was always concerned for wellbeing, safety and keeping us informed. This was my first trip with Explore and I'll be travelling with them again.

Excellent tour. In my view Arturo our guide made sure we made the best of our two weeks making sure we arrived at sites at a good time to make the most of the experience. He had an excellent knowledge of Peru and its history and this made the trip very interesting. We were a mixed group of 10 and we all enjoyed each others company making every day a pleasure.

The pace and points of interest on this trip were fantastic. It was a great combination of “must sees” and “off the beaten path.” Our tour leader was knowledgeable and genuine. We felt very well-looked after. The rail trip from Puno to Cusco was a highlight. Don’t miss it! I also highly recommend a follow-up trip to Machu Picchu. The first group tour was educational, but my individual trip the following day was a spiritual event. Be ready for some significant hiking, especially on Taquile Island. If you think you might want to bring a trekking pole- do it. The sights are worth it, but they are all uphill.

Every day exceeded my expectations. A minor niggle was that after a long haul and connected flight, the arrival hotel was unable to allow access to our rooms until 4hrs after check in. I have been on over 10 Explore tours over 3 decades and our tour leader was equal best.

An amazing and unforgettable experience exploring the breathtaking South Island with an awesome group of people. This was my first Contiki and international solo travel and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Contiki and our trip manager Brad made planning and organising the trip effortless and the locations, activities and transport were sensational. I cannot recommend this trip enough!

Chantelle was a wonderful guide . She had fantastic local knowledge and a great sense of humour. We’ve been on a few organised holidays and Chantelle was definitely the best guide we’ve ever had. She has a great ability to give information in a fun and interesting way . I would highly recommend this trip. Malta has a lot to offer We particularly liked Gozo and the capital Valetta
