- DMDianne· January 15th, 2025Guide was not really considerate of passengers’ needs or difficulties with some of the accommodation or movement around. One hotel had problems with leaking and the movement of one passenger with an ankle problem was not considered. He also seemed confused about some information given and times and locations for meeting the bus.Show moreTrip date: December 2024
- CMChristopher· January 7th, 2025This is my last trip with Expat, but I blame myself for trusting them after my previous experience in Dec '23. This company promises a certain itinerary, but changed it due to Christmas without notifying this traveler. They also promise 2 - 4 star accommodations; which brings to mind possible luxury; however, stars are based on services offered and not luxury. For the record Guide Mike Cole and Driver Joshie were excellent. A company has the prerogative to change up the itinerary, but I have the right to know of theses changes before the trip incase the new itinerary doesn't meet my needs. However, I was not notified of changes until I was on the coach well past our first stop. Apparently other customers were notified, some multiple times of changes. This is unacceptable, Expat as a Tour company knew that this tour was taking place over the Christmas Holiday when it was offered and they should have planned accordingly and notified every traveler of any changes, thus giving a chance to cancel. Instead of seeing the best of Great Britain, we had a very rushed schedule made tighter by the short daylight. We stopped at a location for Hadrian's wall, but it wasn't even a good section of the remaining wall. It was a section that barely stood 2 feet high. Expat should stop wasting their clients money on mass prepared dinners and spend it on the "options" instead. These mass produced dinners are not as good and don't cater to special diets preventing the traveler a real choice in meals. Stop offering "Options" just so you can decrease the price a little and increase your profit. One option was an 85 pound meal that I'm told was a horrible experience. Most people come on these tours to see the highlights but Expat skips the important stuff. The Punting (Venice gondola like) experience in Cambridge was nice but wasted time that could have been used to see York in the Daylight. In addition was on a quite cold day that lead to several travelers coming down with colds. The new itinerary even prevented travelers from visiting Edinburgh Castle. Anyone who believes Expat is a great tour company either has not experienced good tours, just don't know better, or works for Expat.Show moreTrip date: December 2024

- Chantrea· October 4th, 2024Tour Master, Peter W and Coach Master, Rob were both fantastic and very thoughtful in making the whole trip fun. They both exceeded my expectation. I booked all of the optional tours, and still had days where I was able to buy souvenirs or dined out on my own. Expat Explore did a wonderful job at all the stops they took us to. I enjoyed all of it. Thank you!Show moreTrip date: September 2024
- Nena· September 28th, 2024I enjoyed the tour! Be aware some hotels lacked air conditioning & the first dinner in York you should order the half chicken if you're really hungry. The roast beef is good if you're not starving. The hotel near the loch had excellent dinner but I wouldn't order the vegan option, 2 friends did & didn't like it. There were several other optional tours that were available to book while on the coach via cash or card. Also, make sure to be on time, timeless has a huge impact on this tour. The coach makes several stops for opportunities to grab snacks. Thanks Expat, for an awesome birthday week!Show moreExpat Explore Travel commented on this reviewThank you for sharing your experience!

- Augusta· August 26th, 2024Great tour. Peter W our tour leader kept us on schedule and showed us some hidden gems. It was a fast paced adventure around the UK
Trip date: August 2024 - SShirley· August 23rd, 2024It was an amazing tour. Luke was our guide and Chris was our driver and you couldn’t have had a better experience. They made us laugh so much and we learnt so much. It was amazing. If He didn’t know the answer to our question. He would look it up or find out and would know by the end of the day, but there wasn’t much he didn’t know which was really fabulous. He’s spent time with all of us getting to know each of us and we become great mates. For my next tour, I will definitely be looking to see where Luke is.Show moreExpat Explore Travel commented on this reviewThank you for your fantastic feedback!
