Athens Local Culture Tours 2024/2025

“This tour was amazing, saw lots of incredible sights and learnt so much from out Tour Director Filip, who fad an extraordinary amount of knowledge and had all passengers on the coach entertained. Kleantis our coach driver was also first class and drove us everywhere with ur most professionalism. We'll use Expat again!.”

“The Positives Yannis our tour driver was Excellent.. He was such a skillful driver, very helpful and gentlemanly as he would also help us alight from the bus. And he treated our luggages with care unlike during my Northern Explorer Tour last Septmeber 2017 where my luggage broke because of rough handling by the tour driver. The hotels that were good were Kosco Hotel which had complete amenities, Hotel Belvedere in Macedonia were the linens were excellent and the place had several grand pianos where one of my travel mates played the piano. Sky2 Hotel in Albania was also nice. Hotel VIS in Dubrovnik had a nice. location beside the water and breakfast.was good, Hotel Park in Slovenia was centrally located and walking distance to the the center of the city. Ibis Hotel in Budapest had a nice location since it was walking distance to Heroe's Square and a park but the airconditioning in most of the rooms were not working and since we were there on holiday, the place did not have the needed maintenance personnel. The food at Hotel Vicko in Northern Croatia was good and the owner very helpful but our room assignments were confusing although the apartel were we were assigned was nice. Ramada Blue in Sofia had complete amenities but the floor were we were assigned ( 4th floor) still needs renovation. I understand that hotel is still undergoing renovation. In general, the sights we saw during the trip were nice and the included dinner was okey but the one in Athens Greece on our first night was excellent I was wondering though if the included dinners in the other places reflected the actual local food of the place. THE NEGATIVES Since most of the tourists are seniors, I think all the shower areas of all the hotels should include a MAT inside the shower area and grab bars because the shower areas were always slippery and one had to be careful about slipping. The Hotel EL GRECO was terrible. Please skip MOSTAR. It is not worth the 6 passport checks.”

“Really enjoyed the trip. Great bunch of fellow travelers. Some hotels could have been a little better. But then others were better than expected! Tour guide Erin is a lovely young lady. But not the best tour guide. Far to repeating. A little annoying towards the end. When talking about tips, not very professional to then say she had worked very hard suggesting she deserved a good tip! We all work hard and paid a lot for the trip. (I was not the only one who thought this) Saying that I would certainly recommend the trip. And will certainly use the company again!”
