A UK trip was high on our bucket list and, thanks to Expat, our trip was better than we imagined it would be! We felt like VIPs on every excursion. The hotels were excellent and every meal provided was delicious. We are still in awe of the amount of "wow" we fit into one trip! Our guide, Peter, was knowledgeable, professional… and funny! Chris, our driver, was an expert who enabled us to sit back and enjoy the beautiful scenery between stops. This was our first trip with Expat, but if definitely won't be our last!

These are full days packed with lots of information, the bus and all the people in it become family. You don’t have to be fit but there is a lot of walking. They help to get you into places where you’d otherwise have to queue up for hours. Amazing scenery

Our last night with dinner at the Craufurd castle was over the top. So enjoyed mingling with the Laird and Lady. The whole trip was amazing, but that was the icing on the cake.

A bit rushed, but very well managed. At no point were we asking of more information as the guides we quite thorough and helpful. Nothing is perfect, so if one is willing to overlook those, I can safely say that my experience with Europamundo has been nothing short of fantastic

It was an amazing trip and everything went well as per the plan. All the important tourist spots were covered. The tour guides were very helpful and informative. Special thanks to NEUS. Few points which can be improved: 1. As a vegetarian, the breakfast had very limited options. Same Menu was repeated for almost 7 days. 2. Certain days has 3-4 tourist spots to be covered. Time available on each spot was very less.
