I did the 18 days Europe Exporer from 25th April to 12 th May 2023. This was my first tour and first visit to Europe also my first tour with Expat. It was a great experience beyond what I expected. There was so much to see and learn. I have never heard of Andorra, it is a beautiful place. The drive was very scenic. Our driver Jyoshi is an excellent driver, a remarkable gentleman with an amazing personality. The tour leader Firo Borges is the best. His knowledge, skills and abilities is superb. He is passionate about his job and takes great pride in doing it. He dealt with all questions and issues. Firo and Jyoshi worked very well for a first time. They make an excellent team. I recommend they work together on other tours.
This was ideal as an entree' to give a small taste of Europe! The tour covered a lot if ground in short period. The draw back depending on how you may look at it was that always not enough time to emmerse in any given location. But provide foundation for planning the next adventure. The bus and driver, Pascal were exceptional and he was unflapable in any given situation. Impressive. Marysol our guide was organised, thorough and maintained the tight schedule and manage the collective of diverse individuals tactfully. Would I do an extend tour, probably not. However, as a preplanning excercise the length of this tour was ideal and would utilise it again for different locations.
A wonderful tour, with fantastic guides - Paul our driver and Matt our guide were simply amazing. They were so helpful and friendly. My fellow tourists were equally wonderful and a pleasure to be with. Long lasting friendships have been made.
