The tour was so much fun! We have seen so much countries and cities in such a short period of time. What an experience being on top of Europe - Swiss Alps! Seeing the Eiffel Tower was magical! The Rhine River was just beautiful. Prague was unreal. I felt rich watching the Vienna classical concert. The wooden windmills of Amsterdam and the cheese and clogs creation were an added bonus to the experience. Endless fun to mention. Our tour leader Jemma was genuinely warm and friendly which made our tour extra special. I will definitely travel with Expat Explore again. The only thing to mention was the inability to pay for excursions using a simple debit or credit card payment. Other than that, I 100% recommend Expat Explore Tour for an unbelievable fun experience.
I was not sure about the tour but I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. My fellow travelers were really great and easy to get on with. My tour leader was Luke Watson and I cannot fault him at all for the tour as he was quite knowledgeable with his narrations about the upcoming destinations. Also, I have back issues and he was great with making sure that I was comfortable with the walking and would encourage me to take it further. Paulo, our bus driver was the best with his driving skill and his kindness.
Loved our tour guide Diarmaid, very knowledgeable throughout the tour and added a lot of fun facts and help. Enjoyed our time with him. Unhappy with the fact you need paper money instead of charging to credit card any of the optional excursions. You need to worry to much about carrying it, or finding a bank to withdraw. And the prices increased on everything so we didn't have enough money ahead of time. Stressful The hotels rooms were tight, adequate, but would of liked to have better accommodations. Five days in advance wasn't enough time for anyone to pre-book the same hotel a night or 2 before the tour starts. Driver Alex did an excellent job.
