    It was good but very rushed, which I kind of expected! The tour guide was good but seemed a little overwhelmed at times.

    The best trip ever! Very busy, but worth every moment. Our guide, Gabi, was amazing. Professional, considerate to all. Kept things on track, and fixed all problems along the way. She was so informative and funny. We ended up feeling we were on an amazing family vacation with everyone.

    The itinerary was great. Saw everything we wanted to see except for the Swiss alps. This was due to bad weather. Tour guide and bus driver were excellent.

    Without doubt one of the favourite tours Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by Tania tour Guide and Sam the driver , our names were mentioned on the board and we felt welcomed and with such a friendly atmosphere we had a fantastic start! The guide and tour was extremely good, very flexible (appreciate this!) and for that she deserves a special thanks. We had 7 great days there, which obviously also added up to the experience. Tania is such a warm personality and highly motivated guide (recommendable!). I truly enjoyed walking and explaining everything . The scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to walk in such a quiet and peaceful environment. The atmosphere is so special that it really felt like home to all of us. All respect for Tania who does a great job there; a true sample of excellent tour guide! And Sam the excellent driver She treats her guests Fairly, friendly,and perfectly. She is keen to make the tour is organized. She is organized, and very punctual. The tour program was was scheduled well, was on time. We didn't miss anything during the tour program. She is very humorous. We met her in the first time, and we felt we knew her for long time. Many Thanks and well done Tour expat

    Our Tour Leader Mario and our driver Sam were excellent. I did feel that too the tour crammed too much into the 8 days. It my view less countries (and travel time on the bus) would further enhance the experience.

    It was not three start hotel in the country we visited. In Austria the hotel was so bad and the employee a woman was a nasty person. In France we do not have air condition and the breakfast was poor. Also, in France we had to walk a lots from the restaurant to the hotel, we took bus but we walk a lots too. The tour in Italy Venice by night was so expensive just for 20 minutes last and nothing special there. The extra activity in Holland going to the country, 40 dollars each I consider so expensive. You have to hire more of one guide to have enough guides to stay with us in our free time because people almost get lost , we were worry about it. Also, you have you to bring for lunch to places not expensive. In Holland we stop in a place so expensive to eat.

    Our tour guide and driver were phenomenal!!!!! It was our first tour and it was very personable (the tour guide had us laughing and shared so much local knowledge). The bus driver manoeuvred the bus through tight squeezes that earned applause from all the passengers. I’d do it all over again!!!

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.
