Milan Tours in October 2025

The trip was wonderful from the excellent, capable and caring leader, well planned itinerary, beautiful scenery, great meals and hotel to the enjoyable hiking group. Kris, our leader, was open to flexibility on activity days when heavy rain was forecast on one of our walking days so he made that day our free day instead so that all of our walking days had some good weather, and he took an interest in the needs of all in our diverse group. He was a super guide! The scenery was spectacular, and the walks, sometimes challenging but always very doable…highly recommended.

This was a great holiday. The hotel was in a perfect location at the quieter northern end of Lake Como with beautiful views of the lake and the Alps. Walks were varied. Tour leader Kristians was excellent and the group all got on well.

The holiday was great, from the day we arrived until we departed. No-one wanted it to end. The group got on well and it would be nice to perhaps see some of them again on a future Explore trip. The hotel location was perfect and each day's itinerary was varied and interesting. The tour leader was excellent and worked hard to ensure everyone had a good experience.

Had an amazing time in Italy on the 9 day rail tour. Got to see so much in a short time. Tour leader was wonderful, very patient, organized and witty! Highly recommend the trip! Found many places I want to return to!

My first time with expat and it didn't disappoint. Firo our guide was AMAZING!!! He kept us safe, on time and shared his passion and knowledge on all things Italy. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The free days were perfect to explore independently or choose optional tours, this was great! We made many friends along the way, so much fun. Thankyou for making my Italy trip memorable. AMAZING!!!!!

Great time! Firo was personable, relatable, fun, and thorough. He was able to navigate 20+ people through Italy with ease. I would recommend this tour to anyone who likes the concept of a tour experience but with freedom to explore on your own part of the time. Good people…Good food… Good times!
