As a High school student who used explorica agency for a class trip I can proudly say they put immense amount of effort in planning events and activities that will truly give you the cultural experience of wherever you are traveling. As well the guide my classmates and I were given was absolutely in...
I would actually rate this company a zero if I could. They have taken advantage of the health crisis around the world right now as a way to cheat families of their money. I had purchased the insurance protection plan on my children's educational trip that is intended to cover a cancellation fee of 1...
There refund policy is awful. We paid $2,633 for a school trip to Costa Rica. They will only refund us back $2000. When asking for full refund they will not budge. Yes, I did purchase the insurance at an additional fee. So I feel if I pad for the insurance then why do I have to forfeit the $600. Bas...

We took a tour of Belize with a middle school group. Our tour guide Jake Martinez was fantastic!! He was really well organized, very calm and great with the kids and parents alike. He provided just the right amount of information to keep us all interested but not overwhelm us. The trip was great for...
My trip to China with several students and teachers of the Ethel Walker School was a wonderful educational and personal experience. I would recommend this trip to anyone interested in expanding your horizons..Having been to the far east many yrs ago , I was unable to get to China. When this oppor...
Fantastic!! By far the best way to travel! It was so great to not have to worry about planning, public transportation (private bus), and waiting in lines. Our tour guide was fantastic! He spoke the local language, knew where to go, and was very informative about history and the significance of w...
