I was a student and it was amazing to
see all the things I have only ever seen in
movies. Our tour guide was so funny
and outgoing, everybody loved him. It
was a beautiful experience that I will
remember for the rest of my life and I
am so happy with everything that
Explorica set up for us. Thanks so much!
