Why us?

I'm sure you're wondering, why should I choose the Explore Experts to plan my next trip?

We have been traveling almost non stop for the last 10 years, and have visited nearly 60 different countries combined. We’ve learned so many valuable things along the way that allow us to travel more efficiently and affordable. Traveling isn’t just something we enjoy, it’s part of our lives. We believe that we can help you travel with less stress, more authentically and cheaper even by using our services, no matter your budget.

Did you Know that the average person spends up to 30 hours planning their travel?

The time spent planning travel can potentially take away from the excitement of an upcoming trip. You may not have this kind of time to dedicate to plan a trip or the thought of it alone exhausts you, especially if you’re trying to coordinate plans with numerous other people. You may even be putting off your dream trip, because of the daunting idea of the planning process. Much like you would delegate grass cutting to a lawn service or getting your food to doordash, let us handle the hard part so you can enjoy your trip to the fullest!

Booking a tour may not be the way

Tours all over the world not only exist, but are extremely popular because they fill a void. Some people want to see the world, but maybe they are too intimidated to do it themselves or simply prefer the structure it provides. We encourage everyone to explore by any means but we believe traveling in a large tour group, restricted on where to eat and what to see while on a strict schedule just limits the authentic experience of travel that we fell in love with.  This is where we differ from other more traditional travel agencies. Most travel agents will help you book your travel from a set list of trips, allowing you to only scratch the surface of these incredible places. We refer to ourselves as travel consultants and want to lead you to those hidden gems in Paris, the secret views in Venice, the wild beaches in Albania, the hole in the wall restaurant in Osaka or the coolest cafes in Guatemala. 

We look for every possible option

Most travel agents book through a central GDS. A GDS is a global distribution system. Using a GDS allows the agent to use one platform to search tons of travel providers all at once, like a travel search engine. This is great and can be ideal for both the agent and traveler in many circumstances but these platforms don’t utilize everything there is to offer and the search may not go further than this system. The Explore Experts look to provide you with all of the options and possibilities. For example, if you want to go to Costa Rica and stay in a small town on the coast to try your hand at surfing you’re venturing off the beaten path. These systems may have little to no options in a more remote location or the prices could be insane. In this situation your best option may be an Airbnb or maybe a hostel or maybe even a holiday park. Some countries even have their own accommodation booking platforms that you need to independently search. This goes for tours, car rentals, and transportation as well. Maybe a local company is a viable option to provide you with a more affordable and more authentic option, compared to the overpriced and overcrowded international options. There isn’t always a one stop shop to get you the most affordable and most logistical option for your trip. Diving into this kind of research takes lots of time and dedication. We have years of experience combing through every single option, weighing the pros and cons and choosing the one that makes the most sense. Let us do the same for you.

You can travel Cheaper

7 Nights in Italy without Flights
16 Nights in Europe without flights

I’ve provided two examples of Europe trips that other travel agencies are selling to their clients. Both of these examples are over $4000 per person and that’s before the flights. The average person can not afford over $5,000 for a two week trip. It’s no wonder why so many people are under the impression that travel is only for the wealthy. With the help of The Explore Experts your costs could be well under this price, even after you’d combined the cost of the trip with the cost of our services. If money isn’t much of an issue for you or your party, then we can plan the most extravagant trip you can imagine, packed full of unique experiences as well. We want to help people of all backgrounds have an authentic time exploring, no matter what your budget is.
