The actual trip was excellent: the Magnifique 2 Barge crew were incredibly friendly and every aspect of the bike riding and daily activities was meticulously organised. The accommodation on board was comfortable and it was a real pleasure to sit down at night to a lovely table and fine dining.
We recently completed the EV 8 day tour to 7 European Countries. It was truly amazing. From the quaint canals of Amsterdam and Venice to the majestic mountains of Innsbruck and Lake Luzerne to the cruises along the Rhine and Seine this tour had it all and then some. Although faced paced, (hey it's 7 countries in 8 days!) it was well worth the effort. Not only were the sights amazing, but the extra experiences available in most locations were well worth the additional cost and shouldn't be missed. It's difficult to get a flavor of local culture on a short trip to any location, but Expat has a way of providing that experience making travel all the more exceptional. If you're looking for a fast-paced adventure offering the ability to experience many different locales and cultures, this is a trip that should not be missed.
Our tour leader Steve and driver Pascal were wonderful. This was the best experience I've had on a tour before. Steve is so full of knowledge and personality that it really makes the trip worth it (aside from the views obviously). There is a lot of walking involved, almost everyday in fact, so get your joggers prepared if you are looking to organise a trip with Expat EJ Tour. We stayed in hotels that were clean, had free wifi and mostly had air conditioning. There are a lot of optionals to choose from on your free days that are highly recommended also.
