It was my first time spending Christmas and New Year in European countries and the tour did not disappoint! Our tour leader (Firo) was knowledgeable and committed to delivering an outstanding experience throughout the trip. His energy level and sense of humor were consistent, and I appreciate that. Not to mention our coach driver (Bobby), he is such a gem and a lovely person! He always made sure we get to the places on time and safely. Admittedly, I was a little anxious about having to do such a long trip as a female solo traveler but was surprised by the amazing people I met during the tour. There were more solo travelers participating in this than I expected, which was great. The tour was very inclusive and I never felt alone despite being in a foreign country during the festive season. Some beautiful friendships were formed during this trip and I wouldn't have it the other way. We laughed, we cried, and it was the best way to end the year 2022 and start the year 2023. I'm glad I did this!
The tour was very well organized. Everything was on schedule. The places we visited were awesome. We do not think we would have seen and done so much on our own. So a big thank you to the team. Our tour guide Jared was excellent he was very knowledgeable, kind and patient with us. Same with the driver Pascal whose driving was incredible and brought us back safe and sound. They both made a great team.
The tour was exactly as described. Very fast paced which is to be expected if you are going to see 7 countries in 2 weeks. We really enjoyed the included itinerary and the options we purchased. I had pre purchased tickets for things that weren't included and if you are going to do that most have to be purchased well in advance. My bucket list is now complete! .A big shout out to Noddy (tour leader) and Mozzie (driver). Would absolutely use Expat Tours again!!!
