Belgium Holland Tours and Trips

There is a lot of walking. I did all of the optionals and found that some of them had more walking than I felt was described in the itinerary...

This is a very packed itinerary with many (up to 6 stops) on each day. It is very important to review the itinerary to see if it is appropriate for you. Three of the days are almost exclusively WWI sites & visits. Only a day and a half concentrates on WWII. The rest of the time is travel and general experiences. Our group was about evenly split between Canadians, Australians and USA citizens and the latter group seemed disappointed at times with the WWI focus.

This is a fast-paced tour. Great for ticking off lots of locations and highlights and covering numerous countries. The optional experiences are all worth it and great value. It should be mentioned that "free" days are only usually a few hours, so make sure you chat with the guide to find out exactly how much free time you have. But the experiences they provide are worth it anyway.

We had the best Tour Leader - Alessandro, who guided us with humour and skill from Rome to Siena to Venice to Wilderswil to Bretton and finally, Amsterdam. The best mix of activities and free days, and the hotels were all different and interesting. Our driver, Lucas, was awesome too!

Expat Explore provided an itinerary that took us to all the important historic treasures that Europe has to offer. Plus, our tour guide and driver made sure we were kept aware of daily accomplishments to give us an incredible value. Also, included meals were very delicious.

The itinerary itself was good, a few more rest stops would have been nice. The tour did not go into the Eiffel Tower, we did that after the tour days ended. The Paris hotel location could have been better. Our TD was one of the best we have had in 5 trips with Trafalgar. We did enjoy Lucerne and the cruise on the river. The amount of walking was not too bad most days. All-in-all, a good, quick trip.
