South Asia Explorer Tour Reviews
Real traveler feedback from Explorer tours across South Asia
Dwight D. | Traveled in September
The Wonders of the West tour was especially good because many national parks were within close proximity which avoided long stretches between stops. Also, many stops were 2 nighters which helped minimized packing/ repacking chores.
S. T. | Traveled in September
Great tour, but we were so close to the Four Corners we could have stopped there. Scenery was spectacular! The dinners with the Navajos were excellent, especially the settings where we ate. Maybe a little down time in the middle of the trip would have been great to catch your breath. Our guide Jason was excellent, full of information and knowledge. Our group of travelers, watched out for each other and enjoyed each others company. Great group!
Sam | Traveled in September
The trip was amazing - Best holiday ever. Our guide, Diego, went above and beyond to make sure that we had a fabulous holiday - keeping four teens from 14 to 20 entertained on a holiday isn't always easy but we all loved it.
Anonymous | Traveled in September
An amazing jam packed tour, seeing different cities with enthusiastic local guides is great. Many panoramic views for photography enthusiasts. Some long drives but then you get to know your fellow travelers.
TAMER A. | Traveled in September
We recently had the pleasure of traveling with Europamondo, and we are beyond impressed with the entire experience. Everything was so well organized — from the smooth travel arrangements to the excellent hotels chosen, which made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Our guide was absolutely outstanding, professional, and always ready to help, making the journey not only easy but also enriching especially Kareem and Mustafa. The entire trip exceeded our expectations, and we truly appreciated the care and quality that went into every detail. We will definitely travel again with Europamondo and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a seamless and memorable travel experience.

Carl our leader demonstrated a high level of knowledge about every location we visited. He drove us safely over I guess 3000 miles; recommended superb restaurants; and was an open friendly chap.
