The Trip of a Lifetime From the time we boarded the plane until we step back off to go through customs in America, Explorica was outstanding. They dot their “i’s” and cross their “T’s” to ensure that it is a worry free experience that is filled with learning, growing and excitement!

Cheap Company Prior to the trip there were no issues. Upon arrival things seemed to be fine, however it was very rushed. We had issues with being early to events that needed less time and then many additional hours of sitting around in places that needed little time. We also encountered many issues with a specific Hotel. We were told that the hotels was in Switzerland and it is was actually in France. That wasn't as much of an issues as the fact that the hotel was dirty with bugs and small live animals. One room even had hair clippings in the sink and the bed. We were also not allowed any extra towels for the hotel because they were only a 2 star. The staff is extremely rude. The tour guide was stressed out what seemed most of the time and got lost. These things should never happen.

No responsibility This was my son’s first trip without his family. He went with two teachers and other students from his school. The experience of seeing other countries was amazing he says, but the travel was rushed and there were last minute hotel changes. He lost his passport at one of the hotels, and when it was located explorica did nothing to retrieve it. Mom, across the world, had to coordinate getting it back to him. That meant he missed coming home with the group. Our family had to pay for the return trip for him and his teacher. Which was almost as much as the entire trip. Trip insurance saysReturn airfare and passport shipment fee are not covered under the plan provisions. Our Family is beyond disappointed with explorica.

This was my 12th trip to Costa Rica with students. It was by far the best trip we have ever had! Our tour guide Raquel was friendly and extremely organized and the food and lodging was excellent! Our tour was planned to perfection. Our tour consultants Nicole and Pam were fantastic and answered all of our questions and communicated with us during the entire planning phase. Our tour guide and bus driver made our trip to Costa Rica a memorable one. Attention to detail, well planned excursions and adventure, with excellent food and lodging made this trip the best! Thank you Explorica for making this a trip to remember for all of our teachers, students and parents. Pura Vida!
