What travelers are saying

"Fantastic tour of Oman. Oman is absolutely stunning and people are very friendly. The camping part is quite basic and would recommend that you just camp in the desert and not on the beach. Our guide was very knowledgeable and took great pride in looking after us. This is my fourth trip with Explore now and would highly recommend them. Only eight people in my group and we were all single travellers. If you are on a budget then make sure you have around £60 to give for tips. This goes to all the drivers, chefs at both camps and the tour leader. One negative experience was going to see the turtles on the beach at night. When we arrived at the hotel who organise this event, we were met with a couple of other tourists expecting to see Turtles as well. The place was full of flashing neon lights and we asked our tour guide to take us back to hotel as it looked tacky, badly organised and unethical."

What travelers are saying

"The itinerary is phenomenal, both interesting and educational. Highly recommended to anyone who has interest in the civil rights movement. We had wonderful local guides at every destination. Their knowledge and personal experience were priceless. They made the journey so enjoyable and gave me an understanding of the civil rights movement beyond my expectations. Every single event was memorable and unique. I didn’t like the hotels though, with the exception of Central Station Hotel in Memphis which was fabulous."

"Just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and your team for a fantastic holiday in Argentina! We loved the country and the people. The highlights for us was Iguazu Falls, the wine tour & the little hotel in Mendoza and the Glacier trekking. The Glacier was amazing!!! All flights were on time and your guides were always there to meet and great. Please pass on a special thank you to Carla who looked after us in BA and kept in touch all through our travels. Thanks again to Lujan, who did a fantastic job putting it all together and we will recommend you and your company to all our friends & family."

Custom Tour Selection Trips

  • Expect to pay somewhat more for a customized tour than a regularly scheduled guided tour
  • While you make the ultimate decisions on where and when to travel, part of what you’re paying for is your tour agency’s expertise, so take advantage of their advice   
  • Customized tours can be guided or unguided – you make the call on how much assistance you want
  • Many tour agencies that primarily offer guided group tours will now customize a tour for you as well 
  • Custom tours can be ideal for families, honeymooners, or small groups of friends who want to travel together 
  • Work out a maximum budget in advance before planning your custom tour, because it can be hard to resist over-reaching when presented with all the options
  • If you're concerned about Coronavirus, a custom trip is a great option to get you out traveling again. Travel expert planners are eager to work and rates are lower for hotels and experiences
