What travelers are saying

"This trip is one of the very best i have experienced with explore over a period of 25yrs and 23 trips and if Machu Picchu inspired which it did, for me the best was yet to come as the Galapagos was the highlight of the trip in particular snorkelling with white tip reef sharks, giant green turtles, sea lions, penguin, shoals of fish darting by, spotting starfish, manta ray, parrot fish, coral, marine biology of different colours and hues, truly magical memories of a wonderful trip. Explore get it right again. Highly recommend."

Cultural Tour Selection Trips

  • Cultural tours are all about learning and gaining a deeper understanding. Be respectful and open minded.
  • Don’t be afraid to ask questions! Your tour will only be enhanced by the more you engage with locals and your guides.
  • Figure out what type of cultural experience you’re looking for. Are you interested in visiting a small, remote village for an intense, sometimes uncomfortable look at another way of life? Or are you interested in a more relaxed cultural experience, like a food tour in Italy
