From the very start, prior to the tour, Expat Explore team was very easy to reach, communication is within 5 minutes or less. Ask and you'll get an answer. The payment invoice is very transparent, every time you drop a payment ( for installment ), you'll get an updated invoice, worry-free that your money is being scammed, this is peace of mind. The tour was also fast paced, covering alot of destinations, good for exercise , and in my opinion, is not tailored for people more than 60y/o or for those with heart condition as we averaged minimum 15,000 steps / day according to my apple watch. Last but not least, our tour guide Levy is very knowledgeable, accommodating, very friendly and more good words to say ...see u again Expat-explore !!! 30 Aug - 13 September, 2025 Tour Eastern & Central Europe leg.
