  What a trip! We had everything, thrown at us, and the tour operator (Inga) and the bus driver (Victor) had it all handled. Plan A, B and C they called it! There were some tough days, (crazy weather, a/c issues, health issues) but they made sure you had a smile on your face at all times. I highly recommend, going with Tour Radar. I'm going to do another trip with them, next year, this time, maybe India? Thanks for the memories...Inga and Victor, you rock!!!

  We just got back from the Best of Europe (22 day tour) and it was an amazing experience, but group travel is not for everyone. If you want to meet new people to explore Europe with & can handle being on a schedule - then group travel is for you. If you want to isolate yourself, have trouble with compromise, and are looking to complain about your fellow travelers and the tour guide - then group travel is not for you. Emma (tour guide) was amazing and reminded professional throughout the tour. She was always willing to answer questions and give a quick history & language lesson about the different cities in Europe. She made the entire trip enjoyable and manageable as she is an excellent communicator. As for the tour itself, there are a lot of cities and, at times, it's hard to keep them straight - but that's not necessarily a bad thing. This tour gives you a good sense of what Europe is like and where one may want to visit again. The hotels, at times, were located outside of the cities which was a little frustrating, but there was plenty of transportation options. It should also be noted that there is a great deal of walking on the tour which is also not for everyone. TLDR: It's a great tour for the money!

  The true hero of our tour was the coach driver Silvian. He worked tirelessly to load and unload all the tour participants’ luggage, and then drove hundreds of miles to our destinations. He got us there safely and on time. The downside to the tour was what we viewed as a lack of professionalism on the part of the tour leader who appeared to form favoritisms among some of the tour participants. This was particularly true among one of the passengers in particular, who she treated as her “assistant”. This individual engaged in public drunkenness at some of our group dinners where alcoholic drinks were available. The tour is more dropped and picked up situation. We were robbed at a destination in Italy of the equivalent of $700 USD. When the tour was ending, and the tour leader sent out solicitations for tips. We gave the amount we could afford to Silvian; who we felt was the most deserving.

  I have been fortunate to have gone on many tours and without a doubt this was one of the best ever. The itinerary hit literally every attraction I wanted to visit including some fascinating places off the beaten track like cosy little restraunts and optional excurcions. The tour guide Branden was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The hotels were comfortable and varied. I met some amazing people on the tour I'll never forget. I feel the tour gave me everything I wanted from Europe and more. I will definitely travel again with Expat Explore and recommend them highly. 10/10 for me

  I became I'll with COVID 19 on July the 15th .and was unable to travel. This company refused to apply my funds of 3,289. 00 toward a future trip. I was saving , and looking forward to this trip for several years to celebrate my 60th birthday. So disappointed ☹️

  Luke was a wonderful tour leader! As a solo traveler I was exitced to see eupour and it was my first time and to start tour, but within the first hour Luke’s enthusiasm and easy-going attitude. His knowledge of the areas we visited and his genuine passion for his job are exactly what you want in a tour leader. Can’t recommend highly enough.

  Luke was a great tour leader, very knowledgeable, always with a smile on his face and happy to help with anything. He must be one of the best tour leaders at Expat Explore.

  I absolutely loved this tour! It was my first time traveling with a large group, but the way everything is organized, and having an amazing tour leader, it was very comfortable. There were so many things to see and do. You do spend a very long time on the bus, and there are many early mornings, but I think this tour is a great way to get a taste of Europe. I will definitely use Expat again.
