Where to begin? From the moment I made my first payment to secure my booking up until the time I said goodbye to the the persons I met on tour, the wonderful driver Coen and even more amazing tour guide Steve, Expat Explore met and surpass expectations. Although it is a fast paced tour schedule and some days I just wanted to stay in bed a bit longer so I can relax in the hotel, I do not regret any part of it and have definitely recommended it to many of my peeps back at home. With some minor setbacks which were no fault of the company, they dealt with them with professionalism and always seemed the well-being of us clients. I have already started looking at tours with Expat Explore that are offered in different continents and have invited some of my friends to join me. The company is doing an amazing job and I look forward to joining them again in the near future.
The European Taster tour was perfect for what my wife and I were looking for - exposure to as many different countries/cultures as possible in a weeklong vacation. Our tour guide Gustavo did a fantastic job of keeping everything on schedule while making sure we saw as much as possible. He was very knowledgeable about both the cultures of each location & the details like where to go for specific souvenirs or to use a rest room. Craig the driver was always punctual and did a wonderful job of navigating & dealing with traffic issues. Though it was a lot of time on the bus, we were expecting this and the stops/breaks were frequent enough that it didn't at all detract from the experience. Can't wait to book our next trip with the tour operator!
Our ride and boat trip was really terrific. The riding was super easy being flat but reasonable distances so it was still a challenge. The Magnifique 111 was very comfortable except we had the staircase intruding into our room. Food was exceptional and staff and guides were experienced and fun.
