"Exploration Journeys gave me the gift of peace of mind, exactly what you need on vacation. I so appreciated the attention to detail, as that can make or break a trip (especially with kids)."
"We were 22 people, ranging in ages from 8 to 80, traveling to 4 cities in twelve days. So seamless and easy, I wish I could have them with me for all my travels from now on!!!"

"The meticulous attention to detail and personal service was unsurpassed.
Our trip was one of the best vacations we have taken, and absolutely stress-free!"

"Fred of Exploration Journeys must have his phone superglued to his hand because whenever we had a request he almost immediately responded-regardless of the time and day."
"Most impressive, however, was the reaction of Fred when we could have been stranded at one of our sites because of an airline strike. He immediately responded with effective action in finding flights for continuing our journey. It is not an overstatement that he saved the latter part of our vacation!"
"When one of our bags did not arrive in Iguazu, Fred was able to trace it immediately and arranged delivery to our hotel within a few hours."
