This trip to Morocco, booked through explore, was excellent from booking to execution. The booking experience was excellent. The options offered around COVID were exceptional. Money back, or 10% discount. Free cancellation at any time.
The execution of the tour was impeccable, fantastic local guide who took as to the top of Mount Toubkal. Our chef who accompanied us on the trip providing 5 meals a day. The others on the trip bonded together well. We had a fun time and I would recommend the trip and Explore.

A thoroughly professional travel company. We have been using them for 12 years and have now taken 20 trips with them, our most recent being an 8-day trip to Lebanon which was wonderful. They specialise in going slightly off the beaten track, so we have seen and done things that you would never do if you were travelling independently. Their tour leaders are extremely knowledgeable and professional, and at the same time approachable and sociable. We have many happy memories from all our trips and can't wait to start using them again in order to explore the rest of the world.

Have used Explore for the last 15 years and have not been disappointed with either the organisation or the trip itself. They have moved from UK to local guides who have often gone above and beyond to provide a good holiday for all participants. The tours cover a variety of countries and types of tours so one can always find something to suit them

Positive: Professionalism, Quality
The last tour I took with Explore was a walking holiday exploring coastal trails in the Algarve. The walks were enjoyable, the organisation was effective, the guide was excellent and went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure the enjoyment and wellbeing of every member of the party. I plan to travel with Explore again.

This was my third Explore trip as a single traveller. Everything very well organised, excellent guides and small groups. Explore really do give you a wonderful insight into the region you are visiting. It is my "go to" company and I already had my 4th trip booked when Covid scuppered it. At that time, their service was fantastic and my deposit is held against a future trip which WILL happen. Many thanks for the way you look after your customers in all situations.

Explore offers quality tours at a great price. We’ve been on 11 trips to places on both sides of the Atlantic. They offer small groups, so you’re not on a bus with 45 to 50 other people.
We’ve had great trip leaders on all our trips. Peter in Greece, Pepe on the Maya ruins tour, Abdallah in Jordan, and Emmanuel in Lebanon. That’s just a few of the excellent leaders that Explore uses. I’ve forgotten a few of the names of wonderful leaders, and for that I apologize.
We typically communicate with the Explore office in North America. We’ve had nothing but stellar service from them. Questions

We enjoyed interesting, varied walks around Gran Canaria. It's a good destination for walking, and the trip was good value. Winter weather if usually fine, and it's easy to get to the Canaries from the UK. The group was good company and the helpful leader arranged walks that suited the varying abilities. Good eating experiences. Another well organised Explore holiday!
