Brittny from New York, USA:
Amazing company, with tour guides who are passionate, personable, and knowledgeable! They were extremely flexible dealing with all of the obstacles of Covid while making sure we were all happy and smiling the entire time! I have created amazing memories that will last a lifetime and it’s all thanks to Sid & Chris from Explora Latin America! I highly recommend using them and I will 100% be signing up for their future trips!
„Sid is someone who knows what he is doing and how to run an efficient, yet amazingly fun tour.”

Lindsay from Playa del Carmen, Mexico:
Could not recommend Sid and Chris more. There are not enough stars to rate the quality of our experience!
First, Sid and Chris are thoughtful about their support of local communities and businesses, something my family and I also value. They also have deep love and appreciation for the environment, the butterflies and our impact on them.
Second, they are excellent communicators, making sure the you know what to expect and when to expect the unexpected. They give you all the details, answer questions and are always a step ahead, anticipating and responding to your needs and surprising you by learning about your preferences.
Third – the trip was deeply personal. We worried about not clicking with them. Not a problem! They are two beautiful human beings who are passionate and knowledgeable about the butterflies, the regions and the culture. They share a piece of themselves in each of part of the trip. They know when to offer options and when to step back and give you space. They are flexible and open to helping make the trip what you want it to be.
Finally, it’s important that you know that we are already planning a second trip with them. That’s how much we enjoyed our trip and our time with Sid and Chris.
Don’t wait! You will not regret it.”
“Chris was a STELLAR as a leader and as a person! She’s a gem. So attentive and concerned with the comfort and happiness of each and every guest. Thank you!!!”

I have been on my fair share of tours across many countries and it is fair to say these guys do everything properly. Effortless, seamless and experienced, but most of all fun. From individual needs, accommodation selection, to local knowledge. They provide all that you need and more. I highly recommend this company and would most definitely travel with them in the future again.”
„Sid was amazing. He was a great communicator, very positive, and went out of his way to find anything we asked for.”

Carol from Pittsburgh, USA:
This has been on my bucket list for quite some time, Timing is everything and I hit the jackpot when I signed on for this tour. The care and attention to detail from Explora Latin America went far beyond what would be normally expected. The owners, Chris and Sid were hands on from the time I landed in Mexico and up until departure. Traveling alone, especially to a foreign country can be challenging, but the guidance, efficient communication along with the attention to detail by far exceeded my expectations!
As we traveled the beautiful Mexican countryside in a small group, venturing to three different beautiful Monarch Butterfly reserves to witness this magical experience. Tucked high up in the mountains of Mexico, observing one of nature’s greatest miracles of monarch butterflies congregating is indescribable! I was pleasantly surprised by the diversity of our trip: the mountain town villages, spending two days in the gorgeous and quaint town of Valle de Bravo, experiencing authentic and delicious meals along the way!
I highly recommend Explora Latin America and extend my gratitude to Chris and Sid for this adventurous and stunning journey! I look forward to joining you again for other ventures.”
“Chris is the best! Absolutely would jump on a tour with her again. Kind, approachable, a lot of fun and very knowledgable and made everything so easy.”

Özgü from Switzerland:
If you are interested in travelling in Central America these are your guides! We have been in a tour around Mexico, Guatemala and Belize and a wonderful time. They really offer authentic tours. Unlike with others you get to go to less touristy destinations and interact with people and their culture in a real way. You get to see hidden gems you won’t get with others. Highly recommended!”
“Sid was one of the best tour guides we have had.

Roddy from California, USA:
Five out of Five stars! Just got back from the Monarch Butterfly tour with
Explora Latin America.
The positives of the tour are many and never ending with Sid and Chris. The negatives are non-existent. I feel we hit the jackpot with seeing huge colonies of monarch butterflies in three unique locations. I had concerns before the tour but Sid and Chris took care of those with constant communication, leadership, and service which was proven throughout the tour. One example is with the required Covid Test to get back to the USA: Sid and Chris chose the right place and Sid was in the small room with me for moral support as I squirmed getting the test administered up my nostrils. Sid then gave me the test results in paper and electronic form (I used both). They took care of everything plus some. I think this is the best tour for the Monarchs in Mexico. Where else will you find such high levels of both heart and mind with Sid and Chris as guides? They allowed for thousands of moments of joy to be experienced on this tour, and I felt safe the whole time under their care. I love Mexico now and will soon return for another tour with Explora Latin America!”
“Chris was a dream and it was actually emotional saying goodbye.”
