UK and Britain Adventure Trips

The most stunning trek you can imagine. The Himalaya's really are great cathedrals of nature. Walk alongside 3 of the top 10 peaks in the world, with an itinerary set up to ensure you succeed at altitude and make it over the amazing Thorong La Pass at 5,416m. Most competitors do the trek in 2 weeks, missing large sections or not acclimatising properly - the 22 day version means you complete (just about) everything.

This was to be a trip of a lifetime and it truly delivered. With the first part into the national park to stay in the edge of the jungle this trip truly was very special. The itinerary was great with such a variety of things to do and see. The cycling took us through great landscapes showing Costa Rica at its best. Our Guides Carlos and Mos very informative and very attentive. On a personal note I asked them to come up with a special place that I could propose to my girlfriend, they more than delivered with a perfect setting with a perfect volcano as a back drop. Accommodation was mostly good with a couple of stays a little under par. Great country great people highly recommend.

Honestly best experience of my life so far!! I love that i really didn’t have to worry about anything at all and if anything came up my trip manager responded to me so quickly. I made so many friends and those people became like my family! Devo that it’s over and wish i could go back right now

Northern Thailand was my first contiki and it was the best experience I have been on. From the experiences, the food, company and the amazing people I've met. It's definitely a must-do.

This was a wonderful trip with a varied itinerary and a delightful group of travelers. The bus was a bit crowded and hot making some of the very long travel days a bit uncomfortable. Some buses had a few seatbelts, others NONE. Our guide, Joshua, was excellent: always in good spirits, very knowledgeable and a good administrator. My only recommendation would be for him to break up some of those long travel days with more commentary on the bus. I'm sure I will not be alone in mentioning the border crossing at Puerto Fronterizo Subteniente Lopez on 11/24. We were denied entry for almost two hours. Essentially they are trying to keep tourists from crossing there to reduce their workload. (We observed maybe 2 people crossing the border over a two hour period.)They did not even allow us to sit in the empty chairs...Joshua held his ground and performed beautifully to get us into Mexico. Loved the archeological sites...loved the cenotes! I'll be back on another Explore trip soon!

The leader, Sudarshan (Su) made the trip extra special. He went far above that which was required for his role. His attention to detail, to our every need and always being there in case an issue presented itself was outstanding. In fact I wished quite a few times he would simply relax and allow himself some time to himself to rest!
