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.
We had a great experience on our trip in London. From there we did day trip excursions to various locations in England. These tours were are a bit rushed but overall very pleased. The only thing that was tricky was the tour does not bring us back to the original starting point that was walkable back to our hotel. It would be helpful to plan for this and the extra cost for the cab back to our hotel.
Also, one of the day tours was cancelled but they let us know right away and offered to reschedule. The Claremont hotel in London was fantastic.Location, concierge, breakfast bar and room were an A+ experience and would highly recommend. Michael was very available to help plan the trip and respond to my questions. I would use this tour company again in the future.
