Still waiting for refund, 31 days later After I paid the full balance of my Explorica account, over $2k+, 1-week before it was due, this company then took the same amount out of my bank account 7 days later, leaving my account at a negative balance. I did not authorize this transaction. I am now on day 31, still waiting for my refund via a mysterious check that I have been told was "in the mail". I have made multiple phone calls and emails trying to escalate this refund, only to be lied to. Their business tactics are shady and opaque.

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.

Stress Free, but they cut corners. As someone who used to plan students trips on my own, I loved the elimination of the stress. Everything is planned out and handled for you. But they are CHEAP and cut corners. Dingy hotels, only include tap water as drinks with dinner, awful breakfast options, and no food choices with dinner. For the amount we pay, I expect more.

No thanks This company doesn't work well with marginalized people. The itinerary was all over the place. Our tour guide was just fine. The restaurants chosen for us were either "fine" or a complete mess.

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.
