Michael | Traveled in December
The itinerary offered a good variety of walks and the tour leader Burt was interesting and entertaining with a lot of local knowledge. La Gomera is a lovely place, much more authentic than the busy resorts on many of the other Canary islands
Lisa | Traveled in December
Great itinerary with plenty of exposure to local food and wine. The hosted lunches were fantastic! Our guide Ana made this an incredible trip. She kept us informed, gave us history without over talking and always had coins for the WC. My fourth Explore trip, and each has been amazing.
Lucy | Traveled in December
The Explore trip to Sri Lanka was a fantastic experience, with a great balance of culture, nature, and relaxation. Highlights included ancient temples, beautiful tea plantations, incredible wildlife, and stunning beaches. The tour leader and local guides were friendly and knowledgeable, adding real insight into the country and its traditions. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country, and the warmth of the people made the trip truly memorable. I would highly recommend this experience.

It was the Best trip of my life! Every day we had new and exciting excursions. We he local guides as well as our tour manager Daniel Boghen were exceptional! I learned so many interesting things about history. I was fascinated with the history!

This was a great opportunity to see some peaceful and very green areas of South Africa and Eswatini with a wonderful guide who made the whole experience work well. He was always smiling, informative and well organised and the group responded well to this. Travelling long distances and making proper long safaris inevitably involves sitting in vehicles. This was interspersed with mountain walking and sea swimming. I could have done more of the latter but the trip was as described.

I have rated our Explore tour leader as average as, although he was pleasant, he wasn't very forthcoming with information about the tour or of India. There were also times when he could have been more helpful, such as when having to negotiate rough ground when leaving a railway station in the dark with other passengers pushing and shoving.
