Overall great trip with a very packed itinerary. It is fast paced and a lot time on the trip is spent on the tour bus, but still you have a good amount of time at each stop. The additional excursions and hotels are great too. I would recommend doing the tour in the summer/fall time since the days are longer but of course there are benefits of going during winter time for Christmas markets.
Loved this tour, fast paced but not too much, really well structured so you felt you saw all of the must sees in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Highlights have to be the Fjords and ABBA Museum. Used good hotels, all comfortable, great breakfasts and close to good public transport. Did most of the optionals and would really recommend them, they were usually far cheaper than doing it yourself. First tour with Expat, they offer really good value and we will be using them again

I did the 15 day Spain and Portugal tour. Ten out of ten. Really packed, not a moment wasted. Lots of sightseeing. Marysol is absolutely great and is the best.

Would definitely recommend to all my friends and anyone who would like a good budget travel experience. The tour leader was very knowledgeable and willing to explain stuff to anyone who needed more explanation. The bus driver was also very experienced and very patient with all of the tour passengers. In short, would like to travel with Expat Explore Travel for future trips

I was a single traveler looking to explore Europe on a budget and this tour provided the perfect opportunity to see all the key sites checking off 16 countries! (I went to Vatican and Andorra on my free days in those regions to add more countries). The Expat team was remarkable and I ended up meeting some great people from across the world. It was the perfect way to decide on which countries I will be going back to in the future. The tour is pretty long and you will spend a bit of tome on the coach but when you hit those destinations you go for it! I used the bus as rest between cities. If you've got 26 days to burn book it! You won't regret it.

Exceeded my expectations except I did not anticipate so many border crossings. We wasted a lot of time waiting at different customs but that.is.not expat fault.

Incredible sites, well organized with a very full itinerary. Averaged 15k steps per day! Gabi was incredible and rolled with the various challenges we encountered. Highly recommend if you want to see many of the ex-Soviet countries!
