Todd· June 26th, 2024It was a horror because Explore did not communicate with the agency in a timely manner which conducted the tour. It was not until the last day, after I arrived at the airport, that I received a confirmation that I had requested and paid for a single supplement. Everyday there was an argument about this with the tour guide and for several nights I had a shared room.Show more
