So much more than just a tour! I know that myself and all the other girls really had our expectations exceeded well above and beyond! From start to end we were well taken care of, with every detail planned, clear communication from our tour guide and we felt really confident in what we were in for! The itinerary was excellent as we got a taste for both the luxurious side of Bali as well as a good appreciation for the culture and reality. It was beautiful seeing the temples, and receiving a lesson on the Balinese culture from a local tour guide. Throughout the tour we supported local guides and local businesses which not only helped provide to those smaller communities but for us to also gain a deeper appreciation for the culture. What made this whole experience special was our amazing tour guide Ovinda! She absolutely excelled in ensuring every single person was connected and enjoying the tour; she had everything organised, well planned and took us to the best local food places, bars and shops. Whatever we needed, she did her upmost to help us and even gave us some language lessons to keep us in touch with the locals! She truly was the best tour guide and made this trip so memorable!

We had a fabulous couple of weeks in Thailand with Explore. The tour visited most of the places we had hoped to go to independently but cut out all the stress of trying to organise it. There was enough unstructured free time to do a few little tours of our own. Our tour guide Super Jeff was fantastic and the whole group were really sad to say goodbye to him at the end. Lots of fun opportunities to travel on or jump into water. Other members of group were interesting and fun. Lots of great food. The two night train trips were surprisingly comfortable and easy. My family loved the Thai boxing morning. Good mix of culture, adventure, beach. The only disappointment was the day boat trip to Ang Thong marine reserve - very busy and touristy, long time on big boat, food not great and the snorkelling was almost non-existent. We wished we'd taken the day off on our own to spend more time on the beach or take a proper snorkelling tour.

This was an unforgettable trip and we truly had a great time. Yangyang Li was very good in helping put the tour together. When we had a couple of hiccups during the trip, Yangyang was always very fast to act and make arrangements if something was not to our liking. She did a great job and I would recommend anyone to work with her. She and the company are very professional and very quick to respond (even on a Sunday, she gets right back to you)
