It is a multi-country tour in a small amount of time. You see a lot, but it's so fast paced that you don't really have time to enjoy it. You have to be in fabulous shape or else you will struggle to keep pace. Even younger travellers had difficulty....very tiring. It's a feeling that you are on the clock all the time. It might be great for some people, but I prefer a bit slower pace where you can enjoy and take the time to remember what it is that you visited. The tour leader and bus driver did great with the limited time they had to organise all of the tour.
I thought the Japan tour was going to be a good trip but it exceeded all my expectations. The sights were wonderful, clean and unique. Japan is a beautiful country and the places we saw we visited were incredible. Each day had its own WoW moments and they were breath taking. The places we were taken to were highlights and each different which we appreciated. Jamie the tour leader was always there and helped so much. Japan can be hard to navigate but it was made simple and fun. The day were constant but not rushes or exhausting and flowed to enhance the trip. The bus driver and Jamies assistant on the tour were also so helpful and kind. I have been on 7 Expat tours and this ranks as one of if not the best trips I have taken and I highly recommend it.

There are a lot of surprisingly unexpected beautiful places and archeological sites in Peru. Our trip was in May and it was cold but all worth it!
Looking forward to another trip with Expat Explore! Thank you for the unforgettable experience

Excellent snapshot of Europe but too much was crammed in when booking all the optional extras but they all sounded so good it was impossible to resist. Extremely long days with lots and lots and lots of walking

We had an amazing trip over Christmas and New Year. It was very fast paced so be prepared. You will see and experience a lot. We made new friends and enjoyed every minute of it. We will be travelling with Expat again.

"Peter" our Egypt tour guide was exceptional! He was an unexpected pleasure to meet & absorb his vast knowledge from! We're friends on Facebook now!
Amazing logistics to fit everything in and certainly worth it, but do come prepared to spend some money if you want to experience everything.
Jordan was also incredible and tour guide great, super whirlwind trip!

Egypt is a must-do for all travellers and expat were a great company to experience it all though.
Our itinerary was brilliant, never making us feel rushed but ensuring we got to experience the best Egypt has to offer in a 10 day visit.
Ramez our guide is the best you can hope for. His knowledge of Egyptology, care for us as a group, organisation and kind and happy nature left us with memories and friendships that will last a life-time.
Not once did I feel unsafe or at risk as a solo mid 20's female traveller.
The Jordan part of the trip, while a beautiful country with amazing sites and experiences also was a bit rushed and felt disorganised. Don't let this stop you from booking the Egypt part of the trip though!
I would recommend this trip to anyone, especially with the overnight on a Felucca boat - a highlight of the trip for me!!
