Curated Holidays
Holidays worth taking, planned end to end
Honeymoons, family holidays, group departures and MICE across 150+ destinations — flights, stays, visas, transfers and sightseeing handled by Surat's IATA-certified team. Book with about 20% upfront.
A great holiday should feel effortless — and that only happens when every moving part is planned by people who travel for a living. Since 2009, Explera Vacations has designed journeys for Surat’s families, honeymooners and businesses across more than 150 destinations, from a first passport-stamp trip to Dubai to a month across Europe.
Every package bundles flights, curated stays, transfers and sightseeing into a single day-wise plan, with visa and insurance added on, so you deal with one trusted team from enquiry to homecoming. Explore our ready-made ideas in the full holiday catalogue, then let us reshape any of them around your group — nothing is off-the-shelf unless you want it to be.
Because we handle the whole journey in-house, the parts that usually cause stress simply stop being your problem. Our visa desk prepares your visa paperwork while our air team holds the right flights, and everything is sequenced so approvals, fares and stays line up. The result is one accountable plan, one point of contact and 24/7 support from the moment you leave home.
What we handle
Everything a holiday needs, in one plan
Tailor-made itineraries
Every trip is designed from scratch around your dates, budget, pace and interests — never an off-the-shelf template you have to fit yourself into.
Honeymoon, family, luxury & express
Romantic escapes for two, kid- and elder-friendly family holidays, premium bespoke journeys and quick express getaways — a style for every kind of traveller.
Group & MICE tours
Fixed and custom group departures with a tour manager, plus dealer meets, conferences, offsites and incentive trips billed on one GST-compliant invoice.
Domestic & international
From Goa, Kerala, Kashmir and the Northeast to Dubai, Southeast Asia, Europe and beyond — the same accountable planning at home and abroad.
Visa, flight & hotel — bundled
Flights, curated stays and visa assistance arranged together so the whole trip is booked, sequenced and guaranteed by one team.
Day-wise planning
A clear day-by-day plan with timings, sightseeing, transfers and free time mapped out, so you always know what happens next.
Transparent inclusions & exclusions
You see exactly what the price covers and what it does not before you pay — no surprises once you are on the road.
On-trip support
24/7 assistance while you travel, so a missed connection, a change of plan or a late-night question is always one call away from being handled.

Under the hood
How an Explera package is built
We start with your brief, not a brochure. Every itinerary is assembled component by component — the airline and cabin, the neighbourhood and category of each hotel, the transfers between them and the sightseeing in each city — so the finished plan reflects how your group actually likes to travel. Want a slower pace, a beach day added or a five-star upgrade for two nights? We rebuild around it rather than forcing you into a fixed package.
Pricing follows the same principle. Your quote lists what is included and what is not in plain language, with taxes such as GST and TCS shown as applicable, so there are no surprises later. You confirm with about 20% upfront and settle the balance closer to departure, and if anything changes we requote transparently — the number you approve is the number you pay.
