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
I loved the coach experience, the tour leader was outstanding with her explanations of the history of the destinations and also providing extras where needed. Sam, the driver would make sure that we are safely offboarded and onboarded on the coach. Sicily you are the best.
The destinations were wooooooow experiences, to have to experience local transportation in bicycles in Amsterdam. Germany's Rhine River Valley cruise, Cuckoo clocks past Albert Einstein's birth city Ulm to the beautiful landscapes of Innsbruck, Austria. Proceeding to Italy to see a Shakespearean's Romeo and Juliet's balcony in Verona. Having the edge to come back in 30 years to see Vernice underwater, seeing the artwork of the Lucerne old bridge, and cruising along Lake Lucerne. Waking up in Switzerland and going up misty Mount Pilatus was amazing and showed me God's wonders, The Swiss Alps with their peaks was also Halleluyah amazing. Dijon and the delicious dinner and singing to the City of Lights that I knew as t

We had a great time and enjoyed every part of the tour. Our tour leader Luke and our driver Brian are the best, always making sure we were safe and had a blast everywhere we went, plus their culture, history and geography knowlede is outstanding.
They make a great team.
This was our 4th Expat tour and can't wait for the 5th. (already planning it), it was the second time we had Luke as a leader and hope to have him again in future tours.
Breakfast was great in every hotel except for Karlstad.
The only reason why we don't put a 5 star in accomodations is Karlstad (definitely not good)
We were the first group to do the Catamaran additional excursion from Gdansk to Sopot and it was one of the best excursions, the Catamaran, the Catamaran crew and the dinner in Sopot were awesome!!!!!
