Well organised tour, the tour guide (Michelle) & Driver (Gareth) we're fantastic couldn't think of a negative thing to say about them. The guests on the tour where mainly from Australia and you couldn't ask for a better bunch of people. We all seem to get on well and help each other out which just made the holiday better. The highlight for us was Switzerland. Some countries you only spent an hour or 2 there as a rest stop. A great tour if you want to experience a bit of every country in around a month. The chosen accommodation for the tour was not upto a 3 Star standard, most had single beds for couples and no basic amenities like kettle, tea & coffee in rooms. A couple of hotels did not have air conditioning this made it hard to sleep during the summer heat. Overall it was a fun and enjoyable holiday (not a relaxing holiday as your always on the go)
My husband and I decided to go on the ""European Jewel"" tour through Expat Explore as our honeymoon adventure. We wanted to see as much of Europe as possible within a two week time frame and this tour did not disappoint! Every single stop was incredible. The accommodations, meals, included excursions and optional excursions were delightful. Our tour guide Steve was amazing! His knowledge of the countries, passion about history, quick thinking/problem solving skills and kind/calm nature were a great asset to have as we navigated Europe. Our coach driver Coen impressed us every day with his safe driving, fantastic navigating skills and cleanliness of the coach. Before we even left for the trip, Jerome (Traveller Onboarding Coordinator) at customer service always answered my emails filled with questions very promptly and accurately. We always felt well taken care of, important and safe. We came home from our honeymoon extremely pleased with our experience and raving about Expat Explore. We will 100% be booking another tour with this company and highly recommend it to friends and family.
My husband and I came on this tour after asking a friend to include us in her group of seasoned travelers. I kept thinking then if I did the right thing because I learned this is a fast-paced tour and we might not keep up. And, AM I EVER SO GLAD AND GRATEFUL WE CAME! The tour took us to 11 countries with varied, unique, and interesting interests to offer on their own. I was mesmerized and truly enjoyed the majestic and picture-perfect beauty of the Swiss mountains on our Journey to the Top of Europe - Jungfrau. What Switzerland alone has to offer makes the tour all worth it! Most of all learning or rediscovering something about ourselves, enjoying life and new experiences, making new friends and forging relationships, as well as finding more Filipinos living and working all over the world, even in far-flung places, makes it a very heartwarming story of lifetime memories in my books. Thank you to our top-notch tour crew - the tour leader Gustavo Nuno Gomes and the pilot behind the wheel, Pascal Kok for the best team-up ever. We really enjoyed and appreciated all your efforts and service in making this tour a wonderful experience. Kudos also to Expat Explore for putting up together tours worthy of every penny! ~Cecilia G.~
