Fantastic, wonderful, amazing and truly a delightful experience we will never forget! Luke Watson is absolutely incredible as a tour director/ guide. He made the 26 day tour fun filled, exciting and bearable. He's very knowledgeable, approachable, sociable, helpful, caring and a fun guy. He's perfect for the job and definitely an asset to the company! If we decide to book another tour with Expat, we hope we get Luke again for our tour director / guide. Paulo made sure we get to our destination safely. He's kind, friendly and took time to say hello to everyone. He demonstrated great skills in navigating tight and narrow streets. We are so happy we got this tour. Lots of memorable and fantastic experiences! Definitely great value for the money!
This is our first time in Europe so we booked for a 7-day ET. Started in London which is very convenient for us. Coach was very comfortable, we were able to doze off fine during the travel. The driver, Sylven (sorry not sure how to spell his name right) was the best. He drives smoothly and patiently especially in the ""jungle"" streets of Paris! Tour leader Mike was smart and very informative but was hoping he could've been more fun and more approachable with the rest of team. He was very organized. He gives us treats/sweets - which was really nice. Morever, we were able to meet a mix of various travellers (solo, couples & friends) from US, Australia, Philippines & S.Korea. It was fun! The whole trip was amazing considering it was a ""taster"", could've been much better if it was more than a week. My favourite part of the trip was the Top of Europe experience in Jungfraujoch! 'Twas hearstopping to say the least. And the rest of the Swiss Alps stops are truly lovely and has unrealistically beautiful sceneries. My least favourite was the Rhine Valley, we were only there for little half a day. Only get to see a portion of Boppard, Germany. Didn't like the Rhine River cruise as it was raining. Didn't much have time to have a proper walk around the town. All accomodations provided are pretty decent, although they will only give you twin bed rooms despite requesting for a double bed or a joint bed for a couple travellers. Daily breakfasts and 4 included dinners are tasteful. Overall, it was truly a value for money! We would highly recommend this tour if it's your first time in Europe!
This was our first trip out of the country and we're so glad we joined this tour especially to our tour guide Firo and driver Chris they were amazing and great team. Firo is great and making us all feel like we're one big family with so much fun on the coach. We played your music every day. Lol. Chris our driver is the best, he went beyond our itinerary just to show us places that we want to see. He is an amazing driver! Our family felt safe with his driving expertise. We cannot count how many times we had to clap our hands for his unimaginable driving skills. With Firo and Chris tandem we got the best tour that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Hoping to travel with expat explore in the near future. Thank you so much Firo and Chris. Your next tour will be so lucky to have you both. God bless.
