Andrew | Traveled in May
Our tour leader, Kemal was exceptional and a credit to Explore. He was well versed on the subject matter and treated us well. We all appreciated having him as our tour guide and leader.
Nadine | Traveled in May
I had a great time - when I saw my Tour Leader with the 'Explore' sign at the airport on arrival - I knew I was in safe hands - he was kind and generous with his time and had a passion which enthused. The accommodation was great - better than I expected and the 'immerse india' van for driving us from city to city was fast and efficient. I couldn't recommend this tour any more highly for those looking for adventure in India - I only hope my next explore holiday lives up to this first experience...

It would have been nice to introduce ourselves at our welcome dinner or first tour on the coach. Also in Krakow to add Schindler’s Factory and maybe have less time in the market square. We found it on our own the day before our tour started. Also part of the ghetto wall that is still standing.

More time spent on WWI than WWII, but that was actually beneficial to me, and honestly, it’s hard to fit both wars (and that only the European theater/western front!) into 10 days. The optional excursions were great as well.

Really appreciated the tour of the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican Museum. Would have liked to visit the St. Peter's Basilica and the Pieta. Sorry that that did not happen. The rest of the tour was wonderful. Really appreciated all the optional excursions. Would've liked to have seen a bit more of Rome itself. A big thank you to Tayla Gatt, our Tour Director. She was excellent at her job - really helpful, full of great information and suggestions. Our tour bus driver, Danielli, was superb at his job. Really appreciated his navigation skills.

This was a fabulous, well-rounded trip. As an itinerary snob, I couldn’t have planned it better myself. Transportation was seamless, timing was perfect, complete with delicious food, city and establishment tours, beautiful shows, and unforgettable experiences. Marvelous!
