I toured with Firo Borges and Ivo Fernando and they make a spectacular team (believe me). They provided a great balance of group and independent sight seeing and offered excellent advice when it came to saving costs while touring. Organization was spot on and excellent - never had any problems anywhere throughout the trip. The guides were excellent in being flexible if we couldn't make it somewhere on time (very seamless travel). They also made sure that everyone on the group make connections with each other and we really became a family. Anyone who travels with them is in for a fantastic adventure and you won't regret it one bit! Schedules were posted in advance and menus for meals went around beforehand. We usually ended our nights on 9 pm and began at 6:45 a.m - the time is enough for you to sleep while travelling back to back! I recommend this tour and these two tour guides specifically to everyone! I will definitely do it again. Had a total blast!
I had the best time with Taste of Europe, from the beginning to the end. Paris was amazing, we walked all day on our own. Heading to Switzerland is a long drive but in the end the hotel and accommodation were wonderful. The gardens, the mountains just wow. Germany heading up the Rhine on the boat was great. The Netherlands and doing the Beer bike ride was so much fun. Tired but loads of fun. Belgium was picturesque a small little town of Bruges. I only wish we had more time in Bruges. All in all I have told all my family and friends about Expat and this tour. Our tour guide Carly was amazing. Carly had great knowledge of all the places we visited. Our driver George knew the short cuts if traffic was bad. When we were heading to our hotel in Switzerland the motorway was blocked George took a side route. A very nice route indeed. Carly was patience when we had to wait for others who was running late. Thanks so much Expat for a great time. This was my 3 tour with Expat. I have had a great time with all 3 tours.
We thought the tour was great our driver was very good and our tour guide was amazing. we also understand that some of the hotel choices are to keep the cost down and they were not bad at all.
