What an incredible experience, from beginning to end, our Expat tour guide Peter and driver Craig were so well organised and knowledgeable. Their passion for their country was genuine and openly shared. Everything ran like clockwork and we saw the most amazing places and shared such wonderful times. The whole experience was faultless. Other group members were friendly and inclusive, we had a super group of people! The sights and experiences were incredible. My Expat experience was way better than I could have possibly imagined.
Just got back from my first ever Expat tour experience, and the only negative is that I didn't want the trip to end - ever! The whole trip from start to finish was really organised and professional, and we always had a clear idea on what we could expect every day. I did the 22 days Best of Europe tour - it's fast paced (15 countries in 22 days), but you still get to experience the absolute best of every place you visit. The hotels and included meals far exceeded my expectations. We stayed in some really lovely places, that were super comfortable and had everything we needed. And most of the included meals were three courses, with plenty of choices available, and all of high quality. Our tour leader, Luke, was exceptional, and went above and beyond what I would've expected. He was on hand to help and offer advice, and spent every moment smiling. He was welcoming, interesting and always made sure everybody was well looked after. Our driver, Istvan (Steven) was amazing too. There were long drive days and difficult roads, but he was consistently amazing and we always felt safe. He was very professional and a true gentleman. Our tour was 22 days, but had already made itself value for money by around days 5/6. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone considering it, and would also travel with Expat again. Thanks, guys!
Cumbria Way was a wonderful walk. Great scenery with great variety in the surroundings - woodlands, open meadows, mountain streams, fresh air, rugged hills, lakes, etc. It had it all. The route notes were excellent and the accommodation was good.
