What made my experience great was the activities planned out and the people I was with. It was a memorable and unforgettable experience.
The guide on the trip made it a lot of fun. The camp we stayed at in Kenya was wonderful, absolutely wonderful….shout out to Camp Tsavo. The food at the camp was good, it was great trying the local cuisine.
The activities were amazing and well planned! The tour guides provided adequate and necessary information for us to be safe and enjoy our time in Costa Rica! I would definitely recommend this trip and Explorica to others!
The schedule of events and sightseeing was incredible. We were able to fit in so much in a very tight window, but it never felt rushed. George our tour guide was amazing. The insights he shared with us definitely enhanced the trip. He learned all of our 41 students names by the end of our first day together. That personal touch allowed our students to really engage with him and it helped him to make our trip feel like a personalized visit. The other local guide that joine us also added another level to our trip. World Strides is definitely a first class organization. Thank you for helping to create a life long memory for our students and adults.
The tour was amazingly curated and I had a great time seeing the sites as well as gaining useful historical information and background.
I brought 33 high school students to Italy, and we had a great trip. Everything went smoothly and our trip director and bus driver always went above and beyond to make it as fun and special as possible. I have used other companies in the past and this by far has been the best experience. I will be using them next year!
The Explorica team was outstanding. Heather did a great job of designing and organizing the trip ahead of time and being upbeat and inspirational during the trip. Seidy was very knowledgeable about the land and wildlife. She did a wonderful job at directing the tour and keeping everyone informed. Olger was a very safe and competent driver.
Alex, our guide, was exceptional. She was knowledgeable, friendly, energetic, professional, and so fun. The kids and chaperones both adored her. We would love to do another tour with her. We trust her and her expertise entirely. The tour was literally perfect.
My daughter had a wonderful trip to Sicily. It was well organized, lots to do and she was able to stay in three different locations. Her guides were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. We would use World Strides again.
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 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.
I had a great tour on my class in belize. The tour guide jake martinez was amaing. A great person and very kmowledgeabe about a wide range of topics. Everything that was in the hands of the tour company when unbelizably well.
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, 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.
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.
All the travel was planned and executed seamlessly. The tours were great. The tour guides were very helpful and knowledgeable. Had a great trip.
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 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 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.
