    This tour was everything I hoped for. The itinerary was perfect and I was able to visit all the countries on my bucket list Darius the tour leader was exceptional- organised, professional, considerate of all passengers, knowledgeable and fun! Joseph our driver also very professional, happy and engaging with us Of course we had a couple of hiccups but nothing that effected how excellent this tour was. The included dinner in Split did not serve us what we had ordered and many of the staff at the included dinner in Prague were rude. Overall this tour is absolute value for money - many dinners included, rooms ok with breakfast and a great range of optional extra activities Thanks Expat!

    Saw so much in a short time! Ten countries in 15 days! Had a very busy schedule to accomplish all we did, but it was worth it. The activities were varied, with great optional excursions offered. This is my 5th tour with Expat Exlore ( through Tourradar) and it never faIls to amaze me how much value you get for your money.

    The driver Gabo was excellent, polite and extremely helpful. The tour leader Rachele was good but she only messed up the seating arrangement. I like your seat rotation policy but it only started on the third day which meant we were seated at the back for a long time as the tour leader said she was busy and running late so could not do the seat allocation. Also a few couples were given the privilege of getting two seats each so we’re seated in the front of the coach for a while.

    Overall the tour was good, in that it covered a lot of Eastern Europe and the town guides were excellent. Brandem was a knowledgeable tour guide, but tended to go off at speed that left several older members behind. The coach driver Gabor was superb, helpful and did an excellent job. Munich is a city with excellent public transport connections. The Bento Inn [ the start and end of the tour] is about a kilometre from any of these and this makes life difficult with heavy luggage. It is remote from major restaurants and the path to the Metro is rough, poorly lit and through a semi industrial area. The night manager on the first night of the tour was totally incompetent. Most of the other hotels were excellent. It would be most helpful if city maps were provided especially for free days, clearly marking the meeting points. As it stood we had to walk up to a kilometre following the tour guide to allow him to point out the meeting point.This was hard given the speed he walked. The tour organisers should ensure that the tour guide has at all times a phone that works in all countries visited. This is necessary to deal with medical and other emergencies. This should not be the guides responsibility! Given these comments we enjoyed the tour.

    Our guide Marty was simply the best as was our driver Kris who made traveling throughout Eastern Europe easy! Hotels were spotlessly clean - basic but we were quite comfortable and happy. Amazing group of fellow travelers - we had loads of fun. We would do another tour with Marty and Kris anytime. We saw so many amazing towns, cities, countries and sights - thank goodness we have photos to remind us of it all.

    I enjoyed the tour, good company, even the long days, Kevin our guide was great nothing was to much trouble for him, but he had his work cut out, what with one thing then another, food being served late, or not enough, rooms not ready, he had the patience of a saint, more information regarding what was there, as we all have different interests, mine is history so if there is a castle to see I would like to be able to see that, so if there is a funicular railway there I would have liked to have known, so I can make an informed choice to go or not as I know my capabilities. In that time frame we was given. One of our day guides in Prague wasn't up to much, for the price of a ticket to the castle which was ten Euros I would sooner gone in there than stop with him we had ten minutes or more toilet stop and we finished 30 minutes early, so to me and some others it was a waste of our valuable time

What our customers ask about this tour

    The content in our FAQ section is subject to change.
    • Are international flights included in the tour price?

      Whilst internal flights are covered for certain itineraries, you will have to make your way to the meeting point for the start of your tour. When booking flights be mindful of departure times and possible delays.
      Tip: We suggest that you start comparing prices the moment your deposit is paid to avoid costly flights.

    • Are young children allowed?

      We have a set minimum age of 10 for our tours, but we're happy to consider younger children on a case-by-case basis. Just let us know your request, and we'll do our best to accommodate it. Expat Explore reserves the right to accept or decline the request at our discretion. We want to ensure everyone has a great time exploring with us!

    • Can you cater for my dietary requirements?

      We make every effort to include local cuisine on our tours to ensure an authentic experience for you. You'll receive an email before the tour begins, where we'll ask for your dietary preferences. We always have a vegetarian option, and we'll work hard to accommodate any other dietary needs or preferences you may have.

    • Do I need to exchange cash before I leave?

      Contactless payment is widely accepted across Europe – it’s best to bring a payment card with no overseas withdrawal fees.
      * Keep in mind that certain optionals are payable in cash to your tour leader whilst on tour. We suggest that you talk to your Tour Leader about when & where to draw cash to pay for the optional excursions.

    • If I wish to stay longer in the start or end destination, will Expat Explore assist with pre/post-tour accommodation?

      While Expat Explore cannot assist with booking pre or post-tour accommodation, we recommend Booking.com for affordable accommodation options prior to and after the tour. If hotel information is available, we can provide you with the details in advance so that you can book accommodation at or nearby the start hotel. Please request this by sending a message through on the conversation page.

    • Can Expat Explore issue me with a visa?

      While Expat Explore endeavours to stay current on all major entry requirements, we are not a registered visa agent. We are, however, able to make things a little easier by providing you with the required supporting documents for a visa application once your tour is paid in full. It is a requirement of the embassies that tours are paid for in full before visa support documentation is requested and applications are made. When you have made the final payment for your booking, simply reach out to our Customer Support Team to request your visa support documents and confirm which embassy you will be applying to.

    • How much spending money do I need for my holiday?

      This is up to you and will vary depending on how much you wish to spend on snacks, drinks, souvenirs etc. We do not include entrance fees to attractions and museums. We do, however, provide you with free time to see everything you want, and our tour leaders will have all the information on pricing and locations so you can manage your own budget. Please refer to your tour-specific pre-departure information and optional excursions guide for further details.

    • Is travel insurance compulsory?

      It's your responsibility to arrange sufficient travel insurance for your trip. When you travel with Expat Explore, both you and your personal belongings do so at your own risk. A comprehensive insurance policy should cover medical expenses for illness or accidents before or during the holiday, as well as reimbursement for lost holiday funds due to cancellation, curtailment, or other insurable events. Make sure there are no exclusions that would limit coverage for the activities included in your tour.

      We generally recommend WorldNomads because they cover a wide variety of nationalities, but you are welcome to use any supplier that offers you the most comprehensive plan.

      You are able to obtain travel insurance through one of TourRadars partners, XCover. Please reach out to receive a quote.

    • How fit do I need to be to join and what is the average age range?

      We embrace travelers of all ages and backgrounds, prioritizing attitude and mindset over age restrictions. However, our tours are fast-paced and jam-packed with experiences. Regrettably, individuals with mobility limitations or those using wheelchairs may find this tour challenging. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for exploring quaint towns and navigating cobblestone streets. We want every traveler to fully enjoy their journey, so we encourage reviewing the itinerary carefully before making your booking decision.

    • If I book a tour for two or more people, will we share the same room?

      When you book for more than one person, we will by default group you together in the same room(s), unless you request single supplements or specifically request us not to.

      If there are unequal numbers (3, 5, 7 etc.) then the remaining traveller will be roomed with another passenger of the same gender, unless you opt to add a single supplement (subject to availability) to your booking. Please note that minors under the age of 18 cannot share with another traveller outside of your group's booking.

      If you are making separate bookings and would like to share the same room(s), please send us an email with the booking references for each of the travellers and the details of your preferred rooming allocation.
