Explore Tour Prices

Tour prices shown on this website are a guide only. The selling price at the time you book your holiday could be different to that shown here, due to current flight availability.

One of the most common reasons that the flight inclusive selling price varies from that shown is that the flight that is available at the time of booking may cost more. All guide prices shown on the website are based on group flight fares. These are fares given to Explore as a tour operator when we hold a block of seats on any given flight. Due to the way that many airlines work, we are generally unable to hold enough seats at the group fare for all customers, so once the block of seats is used up (or once we have passed any unsold ones back – generally a month or two before travel) we have to find alternatives. This either means booking the same flight on an ad hoc basis or finding alternative flights – both of which may cost more than the group flight.

Prices listed are on a per person basis, sharing accommodation (unless otherwise stated). Please refer to the trip notes for details of what is included in the cost

Brochure and website accuracy

The information contained in our brochure, website and other advertising material is believed to be correct at the time of printing or publication. However, this information may subsequently change. Please ensure that you check all the details of your chosen holiday (including the price) with us at the time of booking.
