South East Asia Tours in Fall

We thoroughly enjoyed the Sri Lanka in depth tour. It enabled us to explore the history, culture, beautiful and varied scenery and wildlife of the island with a great group and fantastic tour leader. Ash was extremely knowledgeable and efficient, very friendly and approachable, and well supported by our driver and assistant.

Inside Vietnam was my first trip to Asia, and I went solo. Explore delivered a fantastic, seamless tour that I literally can't stop raving about. I paid the supplement for a single room which gave me privacy at the end of every day, I highly recommend that. Our tour guide Minh was absolutely fantastic, his knowledge and attentiveness to the group was top notch. All the hotels were of a high quality, the customer service everywhere we went was superb. All the internal transfers flowed effortlessly. I honestly can't praise this tour enough. I've got the bug now! I will definitely use Explore again next year.

Very good itinerary. Spending lots of nights inside the Artic circle so that many chances to see the northern lights are there. We were able to see it on three nights.

Brilliant introduction to the history in and around Turkiye,when they say it's full on it is BUT this being said the sites were amazing especially with Tolga our guide and team leader who was very know,this made the speed well worth the trip,I will be going back.

This was a fabulous trip, our tour leader Diego, was brilliant. He worked tirelessly to ensure we were all safe and got the best out of our time there. I travelled in October the weather was untypical, hot, cold, wet and dry, all extremes of, so I'd recommend taking a full range of clothing. Use the laundries, washing doesn't dry in the humid air. All the hotels were fine, but none had a kettle/coffee making facilities, so if it's important to you, squeeze one in your luggage. A couple of the rooms were quite small, especially for a twin share, but manageable. The travelling between towns was ok. There's lots and lots to see and do in Buenos Aires, including lots of market stalls around the Recoleta area with handmade crafts etc. The hop on/off bus helps sort out your own explorations. And Argentina's reputation for steak is well deserved! Iguazu did not disappoint, both sides were staggering. Be sure to have a waterproof phone cover. Paraty was charming and Ihla Grande a delight sadly a bit too cold for swimming. Traffic into Rio was like the M25. Rio itself is a vibrant place. Loads of places to eat, explore, far too many highlights to fit into the time available. If you can manage an extra day at each end of this trip you won't regret it. Still humming The girl from Ipanema.

Raya was an exceptional leader. Charming and vivacious and extremely knowledgeable. She was caring of the needs of all the group members. She successfully guided us onto trains in hectic stations and was so enthusiastic about the culture and food of Japan. She also had two trainee Leaders - Marika and Parisa. They were both a real asset to the group and we loved all three of them.
