WOWx2! This trip was so special, unforgettable and full on if it wasn't for our amazing tour leader Steve Martin. We have learned so much of European history, the winery, cheese manufacturing, the useful of wind mills for farmers, churches historically, iceberg experience and so much more that we couldn't explain. We couldn't be more happier if Steve didn't give us in an advance any info for our optional tours each day, what and why was important to explore each of them. My partner and I decided not to take any optional tours even before the 26 days tour started but thank God for our experience, highly professional and hard working tour leadership. He's the one made us happy and completely satisfied with our Europe trip. Unfortunately, we have never walked so much in one day and all other days until this tour taught us that walking is good for our health💯Looking forward for our next tour only if we can have the same tour leader and also the drive was the best driver in the www!
It was my first trip to Europe. The tour provided an exciting experience to see various countries attractions, culture and taste their food. Tour leader and coach driver went beyond their normal duties to ensure our comfort.
What an absolutely fantastic tour experience we had! From the very start, Gustavo, our wonderful tour leader, made sure that each one of us felt welcomed. He took the time to introduce himself and allowed us to get to know our fellow travellers, creating a warm & friendly atmosphere right from the beginning. Throughout the journey, Gustavo guided us step by step, explaining every detail of the day's activities and what to expect in the days ahead. With so much to remember, his patient approach truly made a difference. His 21 years of experience shone through as he shared fascinating historical tidbits about location we stopped at. It was evident that he deeply cared about our group and considered us as his extended family. He showed genuine concern for each individual, making sure to cater to their needs and offer extra assistance when required, given our diverse age range of 8 to 75 years old. Gustavo was diligent in repeating important information, ensuring that everyone was well-informed about meeting points and available options. I cannot emphasize enough how caring and attentive he was as a tour leader. As for our skilful bus driver, Antonio, he was an absolute gem! His precision in manoeuvring the bus, which sometimes felt like a little smart car, was truly commendable. Calm & composed, always greeting us with a smile. The way he handled our luggage, loading and unloading it each day, was simply remarkable. The hotels selected by Expat for Rome and Venice were a bit disappointing, but fortunately, the accommodations improved as we continued our journey towards Amsterdam. Ultimately, it was the extraordinary efforts of Gustavo and Antonio that made this tour successful and incredibly enjoyable. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to both of them for making this journey so memorable. The tour not only allowed me to visit fascinating places but also gave me the opportunity to forge meaningful connections with people from all around the world.
