Why Explore?

We’ve been leading tours to extraordinary destinations all over the world for more than 40 years. There’s a reason why 98% of customers say they’d book with us again.

Unforgettable experiences

From big wows to hidden gems, our tours leave you feeling that you’ve really explored. We’ll take you closer to the country, its culture and people, often in spontaneous, impossibleto-replicate ways. You’ll come home having seen and experienced the destination in a way that others might never have.

Expert local guides

Chosen for their expertise and passion, Explore leaders use their insider knowledge to make the most of extraordinary and unexpected opportunities. They’re on-hand to make sure your trip goes smoothly and are trained by our team to ensure consistently high standards.

Small groups

Our average group size is just 12 people - big enough to meet like-minded people but small enough to get to the heart of a destination. Groups are usually a mix of solos, couples, family and friends, united by an adventurous spirit and a sense of fun.

Responsible at heart

Our sustainable approach and flexible booking policies set us apart. We’re committed to reducing our impact on the planet and working towards a sustainable future. Every single one of our trips now has a carbon label (see page 12).

We’ve always had flexible booking conditions, and were praised for doing the right thing throughout the pandemic, so you can continue to book with confidence (see page 8).
