Booked the 9N/10D Panama City trip with Explera for our family holiday and it was flawless — 4★ hotel + cruise cabin, smooth transfers and a well-paced itinerary. Nothing to arrange ourselves, we just enjoyed.

Explera planned our Panama City holiday end to end — flights, 4★ hotel + cruise cabin, sightseeing and visa where needed, all on one bill. Every day ran exactly to plan. Best travel agent in Surat, honestly.

★★★★★
Our family holiday to Panama City was better than the photos. The team suggested the perfect hotels and the 10-day route was neither rushed nor lazy. Priced fairly with no surprises at the end.
