On behalf of Explorica, I greatly appreciate all of the feedback!
Yes, we do check these forums occasionally, but do so to ensure
that our customers have the best experience possible. In fact, 90%
of our tours are rated excellent by our teachers, and many have
positive things to say about us. You can read some testimonials at
http://www.explorica.com/CustomerTestimonials
If you have had a negative experience with us in the past, I
sincerely apologize, and would be very interested in hearing more
so we might prevent this experience from happening again. We
greatly value all of our customers and their comments, so please
feel free to contact me anytime to discuss them.
Thanks and happy travels!
