This was our first experience with Expat, and we were very impressed with the quality and the value. Kriszti, our Tour Leader, was phenomenal!! We have been on many coach tours in the past, but have never met such a knowledgeable, personable, and caring guide. We felt well taken care of throughout the tour. We can't say enough good things about her. We took advantage of all the available optional excursions, and we would highly recommend this to get a fuller experience. It was our first visit to Czechia, Slovakia, and Hungary, and we were pleasantly surprised by their rich heritage and history, and felt very safe there.
Saw a lot of things in a short period of time. There were many, many paid admissions. The trip was great. Our tour guide was outstanding and probably the best in the years I have traveled and I have traveled to 45 countries.
This is a fast pace tour so we've seen many points of interests in 11 counties in 14 days. It was well organized and learned some of the countries history, which was very nice. Pascal is such a caring person and excellent driver. He always have that beautiful smile and warm hello whenever he sees you even though he worked for many long hours. Would give him 7 stars out of 5. He goes above and beyond expectations. What an asset forExpat! Matt is very well versed in European history and it is great learning from him. He also kept us well informed so that the tour runs smoothly, which we appreciate very much. Though a couple of the hotels are not up to par, it won't prevent us from touring through Expat in the future. Overall, it was a great experience for us .
Overall the trip was good however the Hotels at certain places ADONIS EXCELLIOR GRAND GENEVE was not of standard quality. We were very disappointed with the night stay at FELDKIRCH. There was NO reason to make passengers stay in such a BORING place There is Nothing to do there besides we dropped at 5PM here so entire evening was a waste....there was no net connection at Hotel HOTEL CENTRAL LOWEN even after paying for it....all shops etc closed so basically a total waste of money and time Instead you can give more time in Lucerne where people can enjoy nightlife or evening time...suggest you to remove Feldkirch stay and give night stay at some more entertaining place. Also You should have offered the boat trip at Rhine falls .....we missed it Certain places the time given was too much to explore a small town....our tour guide Ms Maria was AMAZING...she was very caring and gave timely information to us at all places. We would recommend to educate guests more on the available restaurants near the Hotels you choose as we clients find it difficult to walk and explore options after a long day....if you give few restaurant names close to Hotel it will be of help Again overall a good experience however small improvements required on planning Hotels and routing. Thanks to Maria for everything for assisting us :
This is a wonderful itinerary for the price. We were able to see many points of interest in a short period of time and many of the add-on activities were excellent. I particularly liked the private Danube cruise in Budapest and the folklore night in Prague.
There is too much free time and not much to do in the city centers for more than a few hours. It would have been nice to go some other places beside the city centers.
Regarding our guide, Patricia, she was very nice and friendly and we enjoyed her company. HOWEVER her English accent was heavily accented that I could not understand more than 50 of what she was saying. It is not her fault, but still we paid for an English guide and I think I should have gotten a guide who is more understandable.
