Seasoned Traveler - First Tour with Explorica

This was our eleventh trip to Washington DC Philadelphia and New York City but our first time traveling with Explorica I don t know why we waited so long The payment process went smoothly No more worries about getting payments to the bank Our program consultant listened to our ideas in the planning process Our tour director was exceptional The security guards on our floor at the hotel enabled us to get a good night s sleep Everything went well including the bus window repair after we hit a large bird on our way to the Statue of Liberty Ferry We will do it again

This trip was absolutely amazing

This trip was absolutely amazing Silvani was out tour director and she did an outstanding job not only keeping us organized and on time but also enriching our knowledge with things we didn t know we wanted to know Our bus driver Andrea was also exceptional making our group laugh and get to our destinations safely I adored this trip and will continue to travel with Explorica in the future

Brazil

The activities that were planned as we toured Brazil were amazing We saw and did so many different activities that we certainly didn t feel like we missed out on much Samba dancing in Rio exploring the Amazon Rainforest visiting the Atlantic Rainforest on Ilha Grande enjoying local cuisine and night life-all contributed to an unforgettable experience Our tour director was knowledgable and advocated when we needed assistance Our one suggestion would be to rearrange the trip so that either the trip begins in the Amazon or ends there to eliminate some of the long travel days But overall we had an amazing time

Quebec Carnaval 2023

Amanda my tour consultant is excellent and makes everything easy Our trip was terrific and I always feel like looks out for our best interest and experience Her response time is always quick and she is very knowledgeable and helpful Our itinerary had to be shifted around due to closures having to do with the extreme cold and various attractions schedules The Canada ops team did a great job as did our Tour director Alice to keep us busy and happy The meals were good and filling Restaurants were generally quick All in all a terrific time was had The Carnaval itinerary is fabulous and I recommend it highly

Canada was Incredible

Explorica is a fantastic company We just returned from Canada with a group of students and parents to see Quebec City Montreal Ottawa Toronto and Niagara Falls The process to plan the trip was smooth and easy Our Program Consultant Amanda was easy to contact and made sure we were ready to go before departure Our Tour Director Austin was with us on the ground and worked hard to make sure that everyone in the group was able to do and see everything that they wanted to We had a wonderful time and are excited to travel with them again

This was my first trip with students

This was my first trip with students so I was a little nervous traveling abroad However our tour guide Jenny was fantastic from the moment she met us at the airport on Day 1 to when she dropped us off at the airport on Day 10 Explorica has partnered with some amazing hotels and restaurants that give you a true and authentic look at the culture and people We all had an amazing time traveling around Costa Rica from San Jose to Arenal Volcano to the beaches at Jaco If you ever travel to Costa Rica you have to ask for Jenny

Costa Rica 2022

From our initial phone call to the end of our trip Explorica reps were knowledgable helpful and organized They were not pushy with weekly phone calls or emails but were prompt in responding when questions did arise We definitely got our money s worth as well experiencing new activities like whitewater rafting flora and fauna that are unavailable in our area We were tired at the end of each day but experienced many firsts in our lifetime Our guide Jenny and our driver Andr s were professional courteous and knowledgable It was truly a positive experience spending our money and time with them
