“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.”
