Simple stays with essential amenities. Typically guesthouses, hostels or hotels rated below 3 stars — clean, no-frills, and great for value-conscious travelers.
Comfortable and reliable 3-star stays. Expect private rooms, en-suite bathrooms, and solid amenities — a great balance between comfort and cost.
Upscale 4-5 star hotels and lodges. Enjoy high-end service, refined comfort, and premium locations — ideal for travelers seeking extra indulgence.
Please inform tour guide to inform hotel reception on next day plan, most places they are, but we almost missed first day bus since there were no instructions on start time next day in Barcelona.
I love to make the most out of my trips so getting up early and go go go see everything I can in a small amount of time is my kind of adventure. My one piece of advice is to at LEAST do the "Pairs Plus" and the "Jungfraujoch" (the Alps in Switzerland) options. I know it is a lot of money but definitely 100% worth it, and you came all that way.
I have to give a huge shout out to Bobby our driver he made the trip for many of us with this sense of humour.
The only con that I had for the entire trip was the river rhine cruise in Germany. We drove along the river while our tour guide Steve told us all about the buildings, castles and the story of Lorelei. We then got on the cruise down the same river in the opposite direction and saw everything all over again.
I as well as many others in our group thought that it would have been time better spent to stop in little towns all the way to our hotel and experience Germany.
But all in all, it was a Fantastic trip.
I knew nothing about Expat Tours and literally picked them out of a search engine and took a leap of faith. That leap led me to the most memorable, life changing perfect vacation. My trip was absolutely amazing in ever way. It started with my Fantastic tour guide and bus driver. The days were planned and organized so well. It is a very busy schedule but that is what I was looking for in a tour. I got to see and experience so many things during my trip. I truly had no idea I would have the opportunities to experience so many countries and maximize every minute.
