“I could not believe how much I was able to see in just two short weeks. The tours were lovely but my favorite parts were the experiences I had in each country. I loved tasting the local food, swimming in the lakes, seeing what made that particular city/country unique. Be prepared for exhaustion. This tour was nonstop.”

“We had great fun in this tour. Aside from the beautiful places we visited, Erin (our tour leader) was amazing! She organized our tour well. She also timed some of the activities perfectly (like the water taxi in Venice at sunset & the leaning tower in Pisa early in the morning so we were the first coach to arrive). Steve (our driver) was also very nice and very skilled. Overall, this is a great value-for-money tour.”

“This was an economical tour which provides the best of what Europe has to offer. Our tour guide Brandon, provided an informative history lesson for us bf we arrived in each country. Brandon was a history book expert. He was helpful & took care of some of us, providing street smart info, which came in handy. My experience with the crew was very positive, & our tour group melded into that. Our very trustworthy coach driverMinty, was safe, reliable, & did his very best to go the extra mile. The hotel rooms were clean & decent for what you pay & the food is good, Breakfast was always amazing, not your continental type like you get in Canada.Overall, despite a few glitches, I would definitely recommend & consider booking again with expat. Great job guys!”
