Our tour leader Steve and driver Pascal were wonderful. This was the best experience I've had on a tour before. Steve is so full of knowledge and personality that it really makes the trip worth it (aside from the views obviously). There is a lot of walking involved, almost everyday in fact, so get your joggers prepared if you are looking to organise a trip with Expat EJ Tour. We stayed in hotels that were clean, had free wifi and mostly had air conditioning. There are a lot of optionals to choose from on your free days that are highly recommended also.
We enjoyed this trip a lot although at times the quantity of walking was challenging due to the heat. Good walking shoes, a ha, sun glasses and a water bottle were essential in the August sun and heat wave. City guides were knowledgeable and provided good introductions to the various cities, their culture and history, particularly the guide in Berlin. Two of the add-ons were particularly memorable: the concert in Vienna and the dinner cruise in Budapest. Our tour leader was friendly and did her best to accommodate individual needs.
Absolutely loved the European vista. This is a FULL Action packed adventure!! The rooms were not fancy. But always clean and comfortable. The entire tour was fabulous. Tour leader korina was exceptional! And our driver Sadar was very good. Always felt safe and always on time.
