This tour is a whirlwind of delights and is everything the tour promises it to be. A taste of Europe. All of the destinations were wonderful. The optional activities were great value for money. I never would have seen so much of Paris on my own. Victoria was an incredibly kind, caring and knowledgable tour leader and James was a safe and careful driver. Ricardo was training on the tour and he was also delightful and will make a great leader too. I highly recommend the ET tour and I highly recommend Expat Explore to travel with. I will be booking again.
It was a whirlwind tour that kept us moving (when we werent on the bus) to many beautiful places and. spectacular experiences. The guide was good, Aaron, and we met a lot of really nice people. If I have a complaint it is just that stops in some areas were rushed and some of the hotels were too far out of town.
There was never a time that I felt unsafe, or disappointed, or ignored or pressured to participate in a part of the tour I was not interested in. The bus driver, Tony, was not only an amazing driver/navigator, but he was kind, generous, jovial, and worked tirelessly without uttering one cross word! Our tour guide, Stacey, was brilliant in her knowledge of our locations, as well as how to find solutions to any of the requests made. She too, was so cheerful, hard working, kind, uplifting to each traveler, went far beyond all my expectations. Stacy quietly wove our very diverse group into a family who looked after each other, and respected each other, and rejoiced in the blessings of this tour. I admire how well the company has done all the research on attractions, hotels, options, yet kept it financially do-able without sacrificing quality. I cannot wait to join up with the tour operator again and explore this amazing world. Thank you is just not adequate in expressing my deepest gratitude to this outstanding company! My memories of this journey will make everyday a "lovely" day to be treasured.
