Fantastic solo travel. The Dubrovnik package was customised to our dates and budget, the 4★ hotel + cruise cabin were lovely, and they even rebooked one activity when the weather changed. Five stars.

Great value for a 8-night Dubrovnik trip. Clear communication before travel, GST invoice for our records, and genuine 24/7 support. This is how a holiday should be planned.

Booked the 8N/9D Dubrovnik trip with Explera for our solo travel and it was flawless — 4★ hotel + cruise cabin, smooth transfers and a well-paced itinerary. Nothing to arrange ourselves, we just enjoyed.
