Went for our first trip abroad and everything from the San José itinerary to the return was handled with care. The hotels were exactly the category promised. Will book our next trip with them too.

Vadodara · First trip abroad

★★★★★
San José was our first big trip and Explera made it stress-free — visa guidance, forex tips, a sensible day plan and a driver who knew the area. Came back with amazing memories and zero complaints.

Darshan Savani

Rajkot · Anniversary trip

★★★★★
Fantastic anniversary trip. The San José package was customised to our dates and budget, the 3★ / 4★ + lodges were lovely, and they even rebooked one activity when the weather changed. Five stars.
