What do you get when you combine a deck of playing cards, discounts and freebies on food/drink/attractions, and a travel guide? Dexplore! This inexpensive packet of cards easily pays for itself – in my experience, within two days or less – as you are offered an abundance of discounts on their recommendations of 52 best things to see or do in a number of locations currently on offer. ‘Dexplorers’ will find on each card a featured attraction in the destination (with beautiful photographs to accompany), and on the bottom of each card, nearby hot-spots are highlighted. Nothing is left to chance, Dexplore has it all covered: bars, restaurants, hotels, scenic views, transport details, maps—every deck is a complete travel package. Decks for Edinburgh, Morzine Avoriaz, and Manchester are available now; tons of new destinations – including Amsterdam, Bangkok, and Singapore – appear to be on the way soon. The cards may prove useful while pounding the streets, but they also make a great souvenir after the trip; you’ll never forget the name of that great little cafe that you want to recommend to your friends after you arrive home.
