Amsterdam Adventure and Sport Tours 2024/2025

“The tour operator offered the itinerary that best suited us (married couple mid 50s/mid 60s) and we felt the price was competitive with similar trips. My husband had been to Europe 30+ years ago but it was my first trip there and it had been at the top of my wishlist for a very long time. The trip is fast paced: early starts and sometimes late finishes, some long days in the coach, some days of heaps of walking but to see as much as we saw and to visit as many countries, cities, towns and sights as we did, it couldn't be any other way. Every day was well planned out and we always knew in advance what was coming up. We loved every day!! Our tour leader, Antonio, was heaps of fun but also very helpful and compassionate and always available to help. Our driver, Peter, navigated us through major cities, on winding roads, for long hours always with a smile. He kept the bus very clean and I'm sure washed the windows every night. We visited so many amazing places and whenever possible we were given free time to explore (with suggestions of things to do). There was a good selection of Optional Excursions that are well priced. Before we left there were some excursions that we felt would be cheaper to do on our own but faced with the reality of saving a few euro but having to plan using public transport and book our tickets in countries we dont speak the language we soon realised the ease involved in having everything organised for you - travel, tickets, guides. We did all the optional excursions and were so glad to not miss any. The use of local guides in some cities is an excellent idea. Their expertise and passion for their town/city was inspiring and they were always available for questions. Joining the expat Facebook page was very beneficial as I picked up lots of tips about travel in general but also feedback on the European trips. Amazing holiday, so many wonderful memories, so much fabulous food.”

“This is my second trip with the tour operator. I sometimes am an independent traveler. When I travel independently I only get half the experience compared to when I travel with Expat. Traveling with a tour group is more efficient, you can see more in a shorter amount of time. Great value for your money. If you want luxury spend thousands more and use a different tour company. Expat matches my priorities and expectations in every way.”

“Fabulous tour leader and driver. Need to change toilet policy tho. Felt shamed for needing it in emergency as addressed publicly in front of others. Hotels way to far out. Some stops not good at all. Orientation tours also not great dinners way too late. Swiss hotel disgusting. Tuscan Dinner disgusting service. French quarter night terrible hotel location as had to use metro. Would recommend but wud tell people the truth”
