Expect lots of walking, extra money for excursions and tips, long days. Some sites you go though very quickly but it is just a taste of Europe. Excellent coach driver = Craig. Excellent tour leader = Kev. Finding new friends and new adventures, amazing sites, sounds, smells and experiences. I would choose Expat again.
This is a fast pace tour so we've seen many points of interests in 11 counties in 14 days. It was well organized and learned some of the countries history, which was very nice. Pascal is such a caring person and excellent driver. He always have that beautiful smile and warm hello whenever he sees you even though he worked for many long hours. Would give him 7 stars out of 5. He goes above and beyond expectations. What an asset forExpat! Matt is very well versed in European history and it is great learning from him. He also kept us well informed so that the tour runs smoothly, which we appreciate very much. Though a couple of the hotels are not up to par, it won't prevent us from touring through Expat in the future. Overall, it was a great experience for us .
Winter express is a good choice if you are on a tight budget and can't afford Europe in the summer. The snow adds a different charm to the place but make sure you layer up well. Germany is just name sake and you don't actually get to see much there, the other 4 countries are good , as in you get at least one full day to see the cities in their entirety.
