"Spent less than 24 hours in the Amazon :("

Very disappointed that an entire day was lost in travel due to altered travel plans that required additional airline flights to be able to reach the Amazon. An extra day was spent sitting in airports and less than 24 hours spent in the Amazon (which is why we picked the trip). Things were disorganized and confusing at the beginning, with no one fully understanding changes to the itinerary. My teachers were very frustrated. The remainder of the trip was fine.

"The trip to Brazil was really a good…"

The trip to Brazil was really a good trip and I enjoyed my group and myself a lot. All the tour guides were very smart and well educated. The explorica travel guy Eugenio was very kind, smart, fun, a big help in a lot of areas like translating in Portuguese for my group and helping me when I was sick at the end of the trip. The down side of the trip was at the beginning of the trip your company explorica made us do two of flying included one day inside of Brazil, when we should have been exploring the country the second day.

"Unbelizable expirence with explorica by our guide jake martinez"

"Our travel guide was the best"

Our travel guide was the best, interactive with our students and enthusiastic about our various activities and adventures.

Lodging was, for the most part, excellent.

Food (breakfast, lunch and dinner ) was amazing.

"Our guide made it marvelous!"

Our guide, Reuben, made this a great experience. We had a large group of 37, with 2/3’s of them high school students. He had tons of patience along with a great sense of humor. Because of his great spirit and knowledge of the sites, we had a great balance of sights to see and free time. And nobody abused the free time because everyone trusted Reuben and showed up on time to follow his lead. The local guides he brought in for other sites were also wonderful.

"Mostly Hits but one miss"

Jean-Paul is really easy to work with. He helps us design programs that meet our individual needs. Our hotels were absolutely first rate. South Korea was absolutely amazing...our tour director, Jenny, was attentive and flexible. She really added to our experience in all positive ways. Our tour director for Japan was not as helpful or prepared. That said, when our tour director missed something, I had World Strides information to back up what we agreed to.

"Had a great trip…"

All the travel was planned and executed seamlessly. The tours were great. The tour guides were very helpful and knowledgeable. Had a great trip.

"Great experience "

Our tour director and bus driver for our recent Taiwan trip were exceptional. Very professional. Very helpful.

"I've traveled with Explorica by World Strides 4 years in a row...."

I've traveled with Explorica by World Strides for 4 years in a row. I've taken groups of high school students each time, including my own children. The trips are wonderful! The tour guide honestly makes the trip and Explorica has never let us down. The tour guides have been kind and interesting people who are truly invested in each and every person having the BEST trip possible. The world is the BEST classroom! I highly encourage parents, students, and teachers to invest in travel as part of the educational process, and choose Explorica by WorldStrides when you travel.

"Our trip leader was absolutely…"

Our trip leader was absolutely incredible! We feel so lucky to have had him lead our tour! He picked the best locations, was able to change times/locations/places according to our interests, and he was super patient with out large group.
