This tour exceeded my expectations and I really enjoyed myself. I felt like everything was well organised and easy to follow from before the tour started. The tour leader was welcoming, inclusive, professional and conducted the tour in an amazing way. He made everything clear and easy to follow. He was entertaining and provided a lot of knowledge at each country/place we stopped. There was ample opportunity and information provided about and to participate in optional extras. I feel he did a great job of keeping tour members morale high and dealing with situations in which were affecting this. I really appreciated his efforts to get to know us all and make us all feel at home and comfortable. The tour in general I felt was great! I like the 'free' days and that we could choose to either join optionals or use the day freely. All hotels were comfortable and provided a good breakfast. I felt extremely comfortable traveling in the bus. I was a little worried before the tour l how id go on a bus, but it was great. The tour driver did an amazing job. The bus was always clean and comfy. The driving was smooth and safe. He was always extremely helpful with luggage and went over and above to be helpful in general. I really appreciated all the rest stops for toilet and snacks. Most of all, I enjoyed how much fun this tour was. I've met so many new friends and was able to enjoy Europe with them, even though I was traveling on my own. Thank you SO much. Can't wait to join Expat again for another adventure.
This was my first time using a company to travel and it did not disappoint! My tour guide Jared was very knowledgeable and helpful! Our driver Florentin was super friendly and the best driver I have ever seen. The activities that were planned were great, the optionals were also great, and most of the food that was included was good!
This tour is lovely to explore some of the less seen parts of Europe - looping through Scandinavia and the Baltic states before returning through Central Europe. There is a huge amount of history, culture, food, art, and architecture to explore - and Christmas Markets! Great time of year to visit Europe! There is so much booked in, and unfortunately only limited time to see it. It would have been great to have a bit more free time to explore. Due to the size of the group, it is difficult to have consensus on what should be seen in any area, but it would have been great to have a bit more free time to explore the city centres on our own, or the option to do so while the main group stays together. As long travel days between some locations it would have also been good to rise a bit earlier if possible to ensure we could arrive at the next location with some sun left at the end of the day to help orientate before we do a city tour or discovery. Due to limitations during the festive season, or the ability to get some products in areas of Europe, it is difficult to cater for some medical or dietary needs, so ensure you have enough of your own key medicines and food suitable for you where there might be limited options
