Venice Tours in January 2026

Italy is always a good idea, but this trip made it truly special! Everything was well-paced, the accommodations were top-notch, and we even had extra time for shopping and wine tastings!

I just got back from the 12 Day Christmas and New Year's EE tour (2023/2024) & being the 1st time I've been away from home for the holidays, I found it simply magical, everything I hoped for plus more.. This tour is fast paced with plenty of early morning departures and plenty of walking, but the trade off is that you get to experience as much as possible in each of the cities along the way. As a solo traveler, I never felt unsafe or alone and the camadarie of the group was instant. I also appreciate that this tour allows you the freedom to choose between various pre-set excursions in any given city and/or the option to go off and explore on your own and/or workout a hybrid of such with your tour leader. If you are on the fence about booking an Expat Explorer tour, I say do yourself a favor and just book it.

I loved the tour. It was very fast paced but we saw so much. The meals that were included were for the most part excellent. The add on excursions were well chosen and packed in even more. It was very good value for money.

My girlfriend and I were a bit hesitant before on going on a guided tour/excursion due to time constraints and tight schedule, BUT our expectations were proven wrong, and beyond! It was an unforgettable experience for both of us! To sum it up- Tour Leader Luke + 7 European countries= A Match Made in Heaven!

The tour was fun. I really like it. Gustavo was really organized and very informative with our trips. He is very knowledgeable with the places we have been. Gustavo is a very responsible tour leader and he made sure everyone are safe. Also, Alex was a very professional driver. Amazing long travel and alex drove safely. We had 5 star treatment these two great people!

Excellent tour. Our tour leader Gustavo is excellent. He is amazing, friendly and helpful. Very accommodating. Gustavo makes all things possible. Very nice person. He showed us all the views and landmark of each country. Alex is an excellent driver. Very helpful and friendly. Overall this tour is amazing.
