I've already recommended this tour to several friends - 18 days in Northern Europe sounds like a long time to be on a bus, but the time passes quickly and I saw *so* much. It was great to stop briefly in towns on the way to our destination because we got to see more. My guide Aileen and driver Sylvian were the best - I never worried about anything because we were safe and we always had a preview of what was coming up next. I wasn't planning to do the optional excursions but I'm glad for the ones I did choose because they enhanced my experience and learning about where we were. My only issue is that we were never anywhere long enough to get clothes washed, so hand washing clothes as you go is a must. I enjoyed the tour, my fellow travelers, and we covered a lot of ground - I'd consider doing the tour again because it was fun and memorable.

We can't say enough about how wonderful it was! Not only did we get to experience 10 different countries and the sites and culinary experiences they offered, but we met some really fun travel mates along the way. Some hotels were better than others, but they were all super clean, provided a good breakfast, a bar for a nightcap, and most importantly, a comfortable bed. Our driver Chris was amazing, and our tour leader Steve was the absolute best - knowledgeable, organized, entertaining, and ultra-personable. The bus rides went quickly with frequent comfort stops, times for naps and time for reading/puzzles, and a couple trivia contests. We are already looking into our next Expat tour!!
Gustavo and Coen were top notch ! Amazing service and above and beyond everyday. Lots of traveling and saw so many things. It's just a glimpse of many towns - but we saw lots of things everywhere. Group dinners were pretty good and hotels were small but good. Well worth it for a glimpse of many countries.
