"Sydney and Cairns"

The tour guide in Sydney was really nice. She didn’t actually talk to me until the 3rd day because the other group was so large and high maintenance. The amount if yikes we were fed by Explorica was lacking as well. Going into the trip, I expected two meals a day for the most part since that is the norm. That was not the case. The Sydney hotel was very small, had no space for clothes and the sink was essential in the shower. The Cairns hotel was much more what I am used to with WorldStrides. The food was more normal as well. Gabby was kind an very helpful. The only thing about the activities was that there was a bunch of down time. The other group let their 18 year old kids drink every night and one driver encouraged them to hit up the clubs. The legal drinking age in the US is 21.

"28 high schoolers in Ecuador"

I took a group of 28 students to Ecuador for 8 days. The hotels Explorica put us in were clean, safe and comfortable. The planned meals were healthy and of good quality food. The local tour guide Explorica hired was fantastic. We felt safe and cared for. The itinerary was great- we learned and did so much.

"The guides we amazing"

The guides we amazing, and the trip was better than I hoped.

"Amazing Italy and Greece Trip"

The overall plan was awesome! We enjoyed the trip very much. Rome in essentially a day was a lot, but the rest of the pace was perfect. Our students learned a ton about Italy and Greece’s culture. From art to history and politics, there was something for everyone.

"¡¡¡Excelente experiencia!!"

¡¡¡Excelente experiencia!!! Todo lo que se ofreció desde un inicio en el viaje fue llevado acabo y ofrecido sin ningún inconveniente. Nuestro guía turístico y encargado de la compañía el Sr. Rubén, fue muy atento, amable y estuvo supliendo todas nuestras necesidades y atenciones. Definitivamente estoy sumamente satisfecha en mi primera experiencia. Lista para nuevos viajes!!!

"Spain and Portugal 2024"

We had the best time in Spain and Portugal! Everything was so amazing! We had one of the best tour directors with Jesus. We became great friends! One of my best Explorica trips ever.

"Buyer beware! They do not deliver what they sell!"

From cancellation of a trip and dumping my group in with another, then followed by cancellation of multiple scheduled sites and programs at the last minute with no communication to me or tour director; then hotels FAR less than described (an hour away from town) lower quality and amenities than expected, in construction areas putting students at risk having to walk IN THE STREET in Paris traffic, HORRIBLE quality food,and then UNHELPFUL “help line” people, unreturned due refunds for changes to program…then deleting our itinerary from the account after we complained??? I am not only disgusted but infuriated and I will never use this company again.

"My Review "

Being grouped with an older adult group.

"A trip went wrong"

There are several mistakes that was made, first the bus from Amsterdam to Paris should be a train we wasted a day traveling to Belgium and only stayed there for an hour and a half and did not really see anything. And on top of that we made it to Paris late so we never got dinner. When we left Paris at 6:30 am we were told there would be a box breakfast that never happened. In London at the hotel we were only given ONE key to each room, so I had four students with one key until we pleaded with them to at lease give us two keys because two of the students were from another group. I also had to always call my room mate so we can meet up to hand each other the key to get in. And that is just some of the things, this was not though thru properly. And if you need more information about what went wrong just reach out to me. The tour guide Kate was great she tried to do her best in all that went wrong.

"Colombia 2024: The best"

Students were able to interact with locals by learning how to play handmade drums, dance folklore and popular music, and try iconic meals from Colombia.
