Last Minute South East Asia Tours and June

Tour leader Emiliano was amazing and very knowledgeable.He is a real inspiration and made the trip a momentous . We really enjoyed the tour and the group was wonderful to interact with.

It was well organized. The tour director and driver were excellent. The meals and restaurants included in the package were good. However, the rest stop meal options and taste were ordinary.

Explore always employs local guides in the places you visit. Always exceptionally planned tours and attention to detail. My 10th trip with Explore because I find them very organised and informative from the moment I book. I was recommend to Explore from people who had completed over 30 trips ... that says alot about this Company .

Phenyo was an amazing guide a tracker a great leader / guide really upbeat happy and positive an unbelievable knowledge of all animals and birds how lucky we were to have him as our guide

Turkey is an amazing country to explore from its culture, many archeological sites to its wonderful food experiences. Our guide Al was so knowledgeable and personable which made the tour so special. I would definitely recommend Highlights of Turkey as a 5 star tour.

This trip was hands down the best trip I’ve ever been on. From the very first day to the last day, I had the time of my life and I’m already itching to go back. During our kickstart meeting on day one, I knew we were in for a treat when we first met Sim. He engaged with the group and made it so much more comfortable being in a room full of strangers. We had a lot of rain during our time in Cape Town which forced a few plans to change, like not being able to go up Table Mountain. Sim changed our whole day around to make sure we made the best out of it and despite not going up the mountain, we had the most perfect time in the city and thoroughly enjoyed everything we had to do. In my opinion, it’s made me want to go back to experience it when it’s not raining! The game drives during the trip were brilliant too. We had the most knowledgeable guides and respectful too, not one of them crossed any boundaries with animals, especially a time when everyone was trying to follow a leopard in and there had to be at least 20 jeeps closing in, our guide, Neil (in the Delta), chose to forget about it because the poor cub would’ve been terrified and I really respected him for it. I have never felt more at peace with myself than I did during this trip. It healed something in me that I didn’t know was broken and I owe it not only to the trip itself but the trip managers, Sim and Often. Often, the Namibia trip manager, was outstanding and he always made sure everyone was feeling included. I was the youngest in the group and I never felt less than the others in the group. I will cherish the bond I created with Often in the short 7 days we were together. I wasn’t feeling too great mentally during my time in Namibia (he didn’t know that) but he helped me immensely without knowing, by just including me in conversation and making me feel welcomed. I hope he knows how great he is. Sim is a brilliant trip manager. He always went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying our time. He joined in on activities where possible and made sure we were all comfortable. I’ve really grown to love him a lot and I will always hold him close to my heart. He has truly become like a brother to me. He uplifts everyone who is around. If you’re having a bad day, Sim will surely make it better. He creates deep and personal connections with each traveller on his trips and that is all anyone can ask for in a trip manager. He always remained professional when the time came and worked so hard to run the perfect trip (too hard sometimes). I’m unsure if i can do another contiki because Nothing! could beat this one.
