Unforgettable trip! The small group made for a relaxed, fun atmosphere we were often crying with laughter. Huge credit to our tour manager, who kept everything running smoothly and brought great energy throughout.
If there’s one suggestion, it would be to skip Marseille ( feels unsafe ) and consider a stop in St. Tropez or Cannes instead for a more memorable coastal experience.
It was great. We learnt so much about the country. Really happy the way the tour was run. Our guide Mustafa was one of the best guides we have ever had. What an amazing man with such a great heart and so patient. He has so much knowledge, there wasn't any question he couldn't answer. Hotels were excellent. We would definitely recommend this trip to anyone wanting to travel. Very very happy. Thank you so much.
Our tour director was phenomenal! Without her we would have never been able to experience all that we did. She knew the insights of Greece and Turkey so well and made it so easy to navigate these places. The tour was great. Santorini and Mykonos took my breath away. We also loved swimming on the hotels rooftop pool while glancing at the Parthenon in the distance. Seeing the monastery up in the mountains was extraordinary, the local guides were incredibly knowledgeable and so welcome and to top it off the food was delicious! We also enjoyed the cruise. The cabin was beautiful and the boat had a ton of activities to enjoy. Best trip ever and very budget friendly.
What a great itinerary! Krakow, Budapest, Salzburg, Ljubljana, Venice and Rome were incredible destinations to visit and stay.
I joined in Poland and fell in love with the country as soon as I landed there. The Christmas markets and mulled wine were really great.
Budapest was unbelievably good. The ruins bar and Sparty were two highlights of my trip.
The rest of the itinerary was amazing and I really enjoyed Ljubljana. I had no expectations whatsoever and it was incredible.
Our trip manager and driver were great value and ensured the trip ran smoothly.
Definitely met really great people and will have new mates for life.

The Christmas & New Year's Eastern Highlights Tour with Expat Explore was an unforgettable experience, offering a perfect blend of festive charm, cultural discovery, and breathtaking scenery. At times, it felt like stepping into a fairy tale or being inside a snow globe, with picturesque landscapes, twinkling lights, and charming old towns covered in snow.
Our guide, Mica, was truly exceptional—organized, knowledgeable, and incredibly empathetic. She made sure everyone felt comfortable while ensuring a smooth and well-paced journey. Our driver, Alex, was fantastic as well, navigating long distances with skill and safety, making the journey stress-free.
One of the highlights of the tour was experiencing the Christmas markets across different countries. Each market had its own unique charm, from the festive decorations to the delicious seasonal treats, making the holiday spirit even more magical.
