We went as a couple, and this was our first trip with Expat. Pleasantly surprised with the organisation of the entire trip, and the comfort of the coach. Our tour leader Steve did amazing work, such a great storyteller,our driver Alex made sure we had a smooth ride and an undisturbed sleep :D.
Would have never travelled as much and efficiently without the help of expat. 11 countries in 2 weeks is a crazy and awesome experience. Had a pleasant time with our tour group. I have done trips with other traveling companies before but so far Expat is my favorite.
This trip was so great from the atmosphere, accommodations, food, tour recommendations etc. This was my second GA tour and it exceeded my expectations.
Petra is fantastic! She provided a wealth of information about all the countries.
This tour was jam-packed with historical sites. There was always free time to explore on your own.
Our tour guide - Cuki - was the best. This was my husband and my 1st trip to Europe and it was perfect. Loved staying in 1 hotel for most of the trip and not having to pack up every day. Our favorite part was getting to explore each town on our own after we had our tours. We felt safe and acclimated to roam on our own. The carriage ride was definitely one of the highlights for me. Finding a local pub was on my husband’s list and we did in Innsbruck. The markets were magical (especially at night). Munich was fun and beautiful too! The market square was filled with Christmas cheer. Hofbrau house was another great adventure. Always wanted to go there. We also found the pink Christmas market which was stunningly beautiful. We met so many fun and nice people on the tour. We also made strudel - which I made for my friends at our Christmas party. Another highlight was the Tyrolean dinner and folklore show hosted by the talented Gundolf family. Dressed in traditional Austrian attire, they delighted us with beautiful songs, energetic dances, and performances on unique instruments—including a saw using a bow! Lastly we happen to see the scary creatures - Krumpus - are part of the Bavarian Christmas traditions. What a fun trip and we’d recommend it to many of our friends!!!

We traveled on the Amadeus Brilliant and loved it. The ship is beautiful, relaxing and comfortable. The crew and staff are incredible.
The are helpful, fun and so kind. One night, we were asked to leave one shoe for each person outside our cabin. Santa came in the night to fill our shoes with goodies! That was only one of our fun activities. See photo,
