We just arrived from an 18 days trek on the Himalayas, we went with a local tour operator. We had a great experience in the country, especially during our trek in the Himalayas, it is, indeed, a hard trip, so is important to be confident about your guides. We loved Dhan, our guide, and Guanzhou and Madraj, who helped us with our luggage. A once in a life experience with unforgettable landscapes and people. Thanks' so much.
This is a tour of archeological sites mixed with typical mexican dishes and exploration of Mexican Landscapes and sometimes even birdlife. We began in Mexico City - where I would recommend to arrive 1-2 days early Try to book tickets for night performance at Palacio de Bellas artes & if you like Frida Kahlo. Coyoacan itself was very turisty - too crowded (did not like that so much).
We loved the new feature -the excellent Jamaica Market in Mexico City - which is an amazing food- flower - fruit market. Some of the rides between Mexico City- Puebla-Oaxaca- Chiapas- San Cristobal-Palenque-Campeche and Merida can be rather long - around 5-6 hours in a bumby buss, so although the pace is moderate be aware that you are driving long distances. We loved Puebla - an old colonial spanish city, Oaxaca - nice colorfull - the sumidiero canyon (amazing boat ride along grand canyon like landscape). Of course the archeological sites are great and impressive (I liked Palenque). The food is a majority of meat but you do get to sample a lot of different foods - fruit & fish included, some I liked and some were not to my taste (but all good quality). The cooking class was great. The good part is that all breakfast is included and some of the lunches or diners too. Don't expect much of the swimming pools - they are rather small. The last day we went to swim in a cenote - which was awesome - a sort of sinkhole. Our tourleader gave us detailed explanations about archeology - he has a university degree in this. The advantage of this tour is that you get to stay in some places for 2-3 nights so this makes the tour more relaxing than others. There are no beach opportunities, unless you go the last days to Cancun. I would definately recommend this tour as I think the combination of food - markets and archeology is more varied and offers a more interesting perspective than only the archeology.

We spent a fantastic day on a private tour speedboat going all the way from the centre of Ho Chi Minh city to the Phu Quoc island. We were looked after for the day by our guides Phat and Ms Jolly and Captain Trung.

Fantastic trip. It is very full on....Explore warn you. One hotel was substandard....Explore will not be using it on next trip. Loved the fact we were in non-touristy areas. I had 2 extra nights at a beach hotel in Goa to relax.....worth doing if you can. A few train journeys which I loved (worth considering a rucksack or holder as luggage rather than suitcase). Go with an open mind and you will love it.

The North Phillipines was an excellent adventure tour. A good mix of sight seeing, and meeting the people and their culture, The rice fields, weaving, pottery and UNESCO heritage sites were interesting and fun, all made so much better by Ian our tour guide. Ian was very informative, interesting, and very humorous. He did everything to make sure we had everything we needed, was able to answer all questions and bought some special local treats for us to try. Ian looked after us all so well. The drivers were amazing too having quite a lot of driving to do.
Bohol beach extension was so relaxing, in a beautiful hotel with a lovely Sandy beach. A perfect end to a great holiday.

I and my partner did Upper Mustang Trek with Himalayanleisure in June 2018. It was a great experience. The flights couldn't happen due to bad weather so we took a private jeep which was an adventure. The trek was arranged nicely and the staffs were very caring. Our guide and porter made the trek possible. It is a beautiful trek I can recommend to other people in rainy season in Nepal. In general, when we reach high, there was no rain.
This was my first trip as a single person and I had a fabulous time. The group of 12 (four couples and four singles) really gelled and were very friendly, supportive and fun. The itinerary was very good, with at least one specific thing to do, see or visit each day. The high points were the tea plantation, the spice farm, the cookery evening, the wonderful scenery and the houseboat . The accommodation was generally very good, but the homestay was too basic to be an enjoyable experience. It didn't feel as though we were guests in someone's home, it felt more like a commercial exercise (eg the host talked of building a hotel next year to accommodate more guests). The food was excellent in most places with some well-chosen restaurants/snack bars, and plenty of choice for vegetarians, but I was a little disappointment at the street food experience, which was just selecting one cold, precooked snack (such as samosa, vada or fritter.) I was anticipating some freshly cooked food (while we looked on) such as rice and dahl or pani puri. Also, I thought that the purpose of visiting the market was to select spices and vegetables to use later in our cookery evening, but there wasn't an obvious link. Our guide, Sree, was flexible, knowledgeable and very accommodating of all our needs.
Overall a really great experience with a great group of people. Will definitely use Explore again for another adventurous trip.
