About Us
Tailormade Explore is part of Explore the UK’s number one adventure travel company with nearly 30 years experience in creating unique global adventures for groups of likeminded travellers.
THE BEGINNINGS
Explore hit the road in 1981 thanks to three travelling companions who had breathed travel, eaten travel and slept travel for as long as they could remember - among them Travers Cox, who left his homestead Down Under while still in his teens on the back of a rusty two-wheeler, and never looked back. From the classic overlands to Kathmandu to ferrying Land Rovers across the Ubange on hand-built rafts, Travers and the two Dereks set out to create a unique adventure travel company.
NEARLY 30 YEARS ON
We now offer the most diverse adventures in some 130 countries. One or two things may have changed since the heady days of two phones plus a telex machine, but the spirit is still through and through Explore.
We now operate over 400 itineraries
In March 2000, we became part of Holidaybreak PLC, the European specialist holiday group, where our adventure stable mates include the likes of RegalDive and Dutch adventure tour operator Djoser.
The Explore family has multiplied to over 150 staff based at head office, plus over 150 Tour Leaders
We offer peace of mind too. As a fully bonded tour operator and member of AITO you can book with confidence. We've won awards too. The prizes and accolades we collect are always welcome; but we shall constantly strive to provide the highest service to our customers and our hosts.
ALL ABOUT HOLIDAYBREAK
Explore is part of Holidaybreak PLC, a European specialist holiday group. As such it retains its distinctive identity whilst sharing expertise and exploiting opportunities in areas of common interest with other group companies.
Holidaybreak PLC was founded in 1973 as Eurocamp Travel Limited - a family run business, based in Cheshire, offering camping holidays in Brittany. Following a management buy-out in 1988, the Company floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1991 and in 1998 changed its name from Eurocamp PLC to Holidaybreak PLC to better reflect the aspirations and range of activities of the Group, which now has significant interests within the hotel breaks, adventure, education and camping sectors of the travel market.
