We enjoyed each day of this trip!! There was always something new to see and explore. It was well organized with the opportunity to add additional excursions throughout the week. We enjoyed having the opportunity to try different cuisines, which were included in the tour. It was nice being able to keep personal items/luggage on the coach as needed, especially in between lodging accommodations. Thank you Mike, Russell, Diarmaid, & Sebastiano for a memorable vacation to Europe!! Thank you Expat Explore for the opportunity to participate in this tour.
This was my first time using Expat and being on a coach bus tour with large group of 43 travelers. As a solo traveler, I did not feel a like a number or lost in the crowd. The tour was exceptionally well designed to get the most of each country given the limited time. It was fast pace, but I was able to experience different cultures each day in a new country. I had a blast and by the end of the tour, everyone felt like family. Huge thanks to our tour leader, Marysol and our awesome bus captain, which made the the tour an experience I will never forget!
The sites were amazing. The itinerary was great with all the capital cities.Venice was interesting but too fast. The negatives were that it was too busy, especially if do most optionals. Folk music night was fantastic. Venetian restaurant was cool. Tour guide, Emma, was super knowledgeable and informative. She also had a good sense of humour. She managed a group that had some difficult personalities too, which was no simple feat. Our driver, Damien, was absolutely fantastic - very safe driver and excellent skills in tight spaces. Both very kind and polite.
