Europe 21-Day Tours and Trips

The trip was everything we could have asked for. We saw all the big ticket things that we were wanting to see as well as being taken to some places we never would have thought to go and we fell in love with them instantly and now want to return (who would have thought that Slovenia was so beautiful?!?). Our guide and driver were incredibly knowledgeable and were always filled with suggestions and were a lot of fun. The tour made travelling through Europe so easy, we didn't have to worry about missing trains or not making flight connections and whilst some of the drive days were long, we saw some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. I highly recommend this trip!

I would highly recommend G Adventures for your next trip if you're looking to meet great people and see some cool places and don't want to worry about planning. I will definitely be doing another trip in the near future!

We really enjoyed the itinerary which was well planned and action packed including all the must see tourist sites. There was sufficient free time to explore the localities and points of interest. It was excellent value for money in all aspects covered by the tour.

The trip is best suited for younger people heading to Europe for the first time. It's a quick whirlwind tour, but sufficient to a good sense for where to head back to and spend more time in future. Tolerance for bus travel and being in a big group for three weeks is made easy by understanding and agreeing from the start, that making and having fun with new friends is also a key objective with this kind of travel. This trip was a fantastic way to get an introductory feel for much of western, and some of eastern, Europe. Many participants tacked on before and after mini trips through Spain an/or Greece. To me, a future separate Eastern European trip would certainly include Greece and Turkey, so Spain and Portugal were most missed. But you are only spending only two, sometimes one night in these countries. Which such an itinerary, be careful not to use the word 'done' for any of them after passing through. We had an extremely friendly and sociable bus driver who really helped boost the group atmosphere in his off-time. Our tour guide was extremely switched on with European history, with not only in depth country-by-country knowledge, but an ability to continually link back to the historical context of region. Combined with ample suggestions for places to check out during free time, and a very well planned and pertinent music playlist for the bus ride, it was a great way to learn the basics and polish up on our understanding of European history, geography, religious history, and culture. The trip is well structured. After a hectic time in Paris, you take a breather in the stunningly beautiful Swiss Alps where you get the chance to really bond as a group. Then the rest of the trip feels like it's over all too quickly. But there are so many great moments. A year on I still have friends from the trip with whom I keep in touch, feel a lot more knowledgeable and have many amazing photos and memories. I would highly recommend it. Just know what you're getting yourself into, you don't always get everything your own way in a group tour. Most important is of course attitude: with a commitment to fun and adventure from the start you will have a blast.

This tour offers a perfect blend of history, culture, nature, and relaxation, ensuring an engaging and fun experience for all travelers. Our travel concierge () was exceptional ! His knowledge was deep and his unflappable personality made the trip so much more enjoyable. His stories (real and/or fictitious) kept us entertained the entire trip. He successfully navigated an unfortunate issue with one of the travel arrangements that would have left others sobbing. Shout out to our coach drivers too & , their skills at navigating those tight twisty narrow roads was impressive. There was so much diversity in the tour, it's hard to pick any one highlight, but here were a few. From the Bath city tour with Ian, the private bagpipe introduction with , the street art tour in Belfast, the Ring of Kerry, to the Falconry at Ashford Castle, the tour did not disappoint.

Thank you Expat Explore for all your efforts, time and the length you have gone to make this trip a memorable one. Everything, from the meals, included and optional excursions and the hotels was just spot on. But the greatest asset was Porfiro (Firo), the tour guide. He made everyone included, whether be children, the shy or the elderly, overcame every challenge that came our way, possessed a brilliant sense of humour, full of energy, motivated us all when we needed it and always had positive outtake on everything. We couldn't ask for someone more perfect  than him. Went beyond our expectations to bring a smile on our face. What was even wonderful was the bond between Alex, the driver, and Firo. Alex always made sure the coach was clean and spotless. But the impeccable driving skills always stunned us all and everyone always felt safe and comfortable. Went the extra mile for our comfort. Both together were just a dream team. #Firo&Alex #ExpatExplore
