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!- Stacie R, Student, Fellows, CA
