A UK trip was high on our bucket list and, thanks to Expat, our trip was better than we imagined it would be! We felt like VIPs on every excursion. The hotels were excellent and every meal provided was delicious. We are still in awe of the amount of "wow" we fit into one trip! Our guide, Peter, was knowledgeable, professional… and funny! Chris, our driver, was an expert who enabled us to sit back and enjoy the beautiful scenery between stops. This was our first trip with Expat, but if definitely won't be our last!

Really enjoyed the tour although it included very long driving hours on some days. Packing lighter would definitely have helped in getting around more easily as we changed hotels almost every day and some of them had a small walk from the drop off point. The group itself was amazing with the tour leader Darius being helpful and attentive. Our driver Pascal was excellent and we had bathroom stops every 3 hours or so in nice service stations having good food and snacks options.

We recently had the most incredible tour guide experience while traveling through Europe. From the moment we met our guide, Aileen, it was clear that this trip would be unforgettable. Her deep knowledge of each city's history, culture, and hidden gems transformed the entire journey. Whether it was wandering through the cobblestone streets of Paris, taking in the breathtaking views of the Swiss Alps, or walking through the streets of Florence, our guide brought every destination to life with fascinating stories and insights.
What truly set the experience apart was their passion for the places we visited. It wasn't just about ticking off famous landmarks—they took us off the beaten path, introducing us to local traditions, lesser-known spots, and unique experiences that we never would have found on our own. They also had an amazing way of connecting with everyone in the group, making sure each person felt included and engaged.
The attention to detail was impeccable. From arranging seam
We had the most incredible time on our 13 day Best of UK and Ireland Tour! We hadn't been on a bus tour before and were unsure about having to move most days and spend a lot of time travelling on a bus. As it turned out it was not an issue being packed up most mornings and we loved being on the bus...it was just one huge, amazing adventure! Our Tour Leader Luke, related so well to people from all around the world of different ages with a sense of fun. The information and stories he shared enhanced our trip enormously; we learnt so much, things we would have never known if we were travelling on our own. He was a wealth of knowledge and his engagement with everyone and organisational skills were next level! There was a very friendly vibe on the tour and it was fantastic chatting with people from other countries or other parts of Australia. Several weeks later, people are still contributing to our WhatsApp group. Breakfast each morning was the best way to start the day and there wer

My husband and I had a wonderful experience on our recent Expat explore tour "Europe Escape", from 01 - 12 Dec 2024. The tour started and ended in Rome, we were given a good appreciation of both the City and quaint little town along the route which took us to Venice, Tuscany, Florence, Múnich, Rhine Valley, Ámsterdam, Ghent, Paris, Burgandy, Beaune, Montmatre, Lake Como, Rome, the Swiss Alps!!
Oh wow! This was such an amazing trip! Our guide, Roma was so knowledgeable and made it even more exciting with her bubbly personality, and our bus driver, Ishti made us feel so safe on the roads...they were truly awesome! I know that keeping a large group together is no easy feat, but they made us feel like family. They shared very helpful tips about the local places, information that you would not normally know as a tourist. Oh! and we were given these cute little passports and stamps to mark the places as we visited them through the tour...this was a really great idea!
This was truly an Eur

Our tour leader Emiliano did a very good job with us, my only complain was our overnight at the Ship hotel. Took a long walk carrying our luggage's and no elevator to bring us up inspite we were already tired. Food for breakfast is good enough and our free dinners may not be the best but it is alright.
The tour was amazing overall. We did not find the itinerary rushed at all and felt like we had enough time at each attraction. Kriszte the tour leader was amazing and we enjoyed talking with her and her positive spirit and energy was a great plus. Our bus driver Josef was extremely skilled and we felt very safe. The itinerary was very well thought out and the drives through the alps are something you have to experience for yourself words will not describe the beauty of the journey. The itinerary changed for the Swiss Alps portion of the trip, due to hotel scheduling circumstances I believe, however the optional excursions that were put in place were more than sufficient. Mount Pilatus and a trip to Heididorf were substituted for Jungfraujoch as the itinerary was re-worked and they were both very enjoyable experiences. The Tyrolean folk evening was a lot of fun and the meal was very good.
Overall, we found the itineraries, excursions, tour leader, bus driver, and experience with Expat
