An excellent tour from start to finish. The meet and greet set the tone with Isobel the first evening. Well organised with very good communication. Travelled in an extremely comfortable bus. Bus driver Peter and tour guide Isobel first class and couldn’t do enough to make this a very enjoyable trip in meeting everyone’s needs and ensuring all the sights of the South Island were covered. Would highly recommend this tour.

I really enjoyed this excellent whistle-stop tour of Malaysia and Singapore. The trip only touches the surface of KL and Singapore and so I booked extra days for more in depth exploration which both deserve. Our excellent leader (Sam) went above and beyond with extras, including fun group dinners out (with dancing!) and a memorable sunset dinner cruise for our last night. There is a lot of free time on Langkawi and for those of the group not committed to all day on the beach, he organised a day trip around the island to visit mangrove swamps, a traditional village and the 'must-do' cable car and sky-bridge. The accommodation is of a good standard, although lacking character in the big cities, but then locations were excellent for individual exploration during downtime periods. The hotel in Malacca in a converted old town house is fantastic. At the homestay, rooms are very basic but this is compensated for by a beautiful lakeside location, charming hosts and great food. Altogether, a memorable trip which has wetted my appetite for further Malaysian exploration.

Amazing tour made perfect by a fabulously knowledgeable and attentive tour guide (Miguel Vasquez). Great itinerary and even tho we did the ‘reverse’ think it was the best way round. Antigua at the end was the icing on the cake. Great mixture of adventure, nature, history and local culture. Food and drink good too. Accommodation is good some exceeded my expectations but not enough to warrant ‘excellent’. ..

Lots of early morning starts. Did not realize that the excursions were so costly and was only revealed after trip booked and paid for. Meals were Buffet style at Hotels and quite adequate. Hotels were comfortable and clean . Bus was kept spotless and driver was knowledgeable Seats were not that comfortable as not very wide and the seatbelt dug into your hip when fastened. Would have like some music to be played rather than constant talk from driver and guide . Guide went out of his way to help people and was super efficeient . Also very knowledgeable but taked too much. People were nice although had 50 people on this tour. Both Guide and Driver worked hard to make this trip enjoyable and I commend them on the hard work they put into this.

What a lovely trip, the itinerary offered a great amount of variation with so many different things to see, do and experience every day. From vibrant towns, tea plantations and peaceful backwaters. I especially enjoyed the hike at Munnar through the tea plantations and learning about the local wildlife. The trip was well balanced Santosh our guide leader was outstanding, knowledgeable, organised, friendly and always making sure everything ran smoothly. The hotels including the home stay and boat experience were all good and the food throughout the trip was consistently delicious. So many different flavours, variety and explanations of the different foods/ spices used I have travelled with Explore many times and this was a really good trip

Excellent trip, full on and packs in all the highlights of the Golden triangle. The tour guide was absolutely fantastic, leading our group and taking advantage of his good relationships with local people to make sure we had the best experience possible.
