Hello! I have taken multiple trips with Explorica as both a group leader and a traveler. It's a wonderful experience! I've been to France, England, Belgium, Germany, New Zealand, Australia, Greece, and Italy. I have had adults and students on all of my trips and all have been delightful. If you're looking for some fun and education together, this is the place to do it!
