There were so many positives, I loved visiting all the different places and the experience was amazing as well as somewhat overwhelming. Wasn't exactly prepared for the amount of driving that was involved but overall no regrets.
This tour is excellent, a perfect blend of guided tour and free days to explore on your own. Great for people that want to see all the sites and learn a lot but also like to explore on their own. The tour leader, Gustavo, really made this trip amazing, I would go on any expat trip with Gustavo leading and Antonio driving, they are the best team. The Hotel Alpina was fabulous, and the couple who run it are incredible, great experience!
Expat Explore's EX2L Rail Tour was simply amazing!!! Darius, our tour leader is truly the best in the hospitality industry. There are not enough words to describe what he brought to the experience! I would highly recommend this trip for people that enjoy fast paced and physical vacations. You must be able to pack light and be flexible. You haul your gear from the train to your hotel (& vice versa) and the tour leader must make decisions from second to second to be able to get you to where you need to be based upon current conditions. Will definitely book another tour with Expat Explore!!
