Eastern Highlights

Mika, she is really the best. She made us all feel included, no concern is small for her and went above and beyond what is required of her and made sure everyone had a good experience. Our driver Ference took us around 3300 kms safely. My travel companions were all good and I made new friends. And the destinations, amazing. Special favorites were Ljubljana and Lake Bled in Slovenia and Bratislava in Slovakia

The trip was a good amount of days, the pace was good had a lot of free time. Accommodation was a good standard and breakfast was good. Tour meals were good

Mica was a fabulous tour guide. She was well organised, pro active and fun.

The route of the tour is well-planned. We had adequate time to do things on our own in addition to getting some guidance from the team leader and the local tour guides. The team leader Mika was a good organiser and presenter of Eastern Europe's history. The coach driver Ference was very attentive and thoughtful. Highly recommended.

This trip hit all of my must-see spots and more! Mika, our tour guide was amazing! Im already looking at the next Expat tour to book!

This tour was a wonderful experience to me. I have to give massive credit to tour leader Mika, driver Gabor, my family and the other travellers within the group that made the tour far more enjoyable. We all enjoyed each others companies and meshed together like bread and butter. The tour highlighted key monuments, buildings, areas, and places for a majority of the countries. I really enjoyed hearing the information, stories, folklore for all the countries, especially Poland and Czech Republic. The tour also provided travellers with adequate time to appreciate most countries by spending time in it, but this was not the case for Austria for example (in my opinion). Overall I highly enjoyed the tour mostly because of the people I was with and the beautiful countries and the whimsy, magic, history and everything the tour had to offer for me.

The whole group were lovely. Tour leader Mika was systematic and considerate to each and everyone of us. She was very reassuring with positive vibes to each and every country we are in. Bus operator Gabor was highly skilful. His expertise made our journey safe and comfortable. Gabor and Mika made our flight back home possible after stressful options. Job Well Done!

11 packed days of go-go-go! So many things to see, but well worth it to find those places that you may want to go back and spend more time. A ton of walking (we logged about 75 miles). Optional activities were wonderful. Tour guides were incredibly knowledgeable.

This was our first time tour with Expat Explore. This tour was our birthday celebration for our sister's birthday. We had a great time exploring. The most exciting part of the tour was the independence and exposure in public transport. We never had this kind of exposure with other tour groups. Our tour director Rachelle was very patient, approachable and precise in giving us directions. I would love to have her again in our next explore tour.

Well organized. Can't believe we fit in 7 countries in 11 days, Amazing. All the tours were exceptional as well as the optional ones.

I loved everything on this tour for the most part. Our bus driver Norbert really made the experience for our group! Everywhere you go there is so much history and culture to experience! I would recommend this type of tour to those who are looking to taste this part of Europe!

A good tour. Locations of some of the hotels could be better located as two of them were well outside the city centres with poor public transport connections, no restaurants within walking distance, including shops. The two night stops in several of the locations on the tour was brilliant and would appreciate if Expat would consider providing similar tours made up of mainly two night stops as I believe that there would be a lot of interest if they were to be offered as an option going forward. Two nights in Vienna rather than one would be great. There was nothing wrong with the Hotel in Vienna except for its location and lack of any facilities around the hotel. this would also apply to the Bento Inn Hotel in Munich. Hence as to why I am giving the hotels a three star rating rather than a comfortable four star rating

Tour guide is excellent

I would highly recommend MEH to anyone looking for a super fast paced tour that explores multiple countries. In 11 days we were able to see the hearts of several countries, exploring capital cities, eating local foods, learning about the countries from local tour guides and making lifelong memories. The hotels were above expectations and the meals provided for both breakfasts (buffet style) and dinners were exceptional. The tour guide rachelle and driver frank were both enthusiastic, hard working and very knowledgeable. The tour was very good value for money. The tour is very fast paced, so not for those looking for a relaxing holiday. The tour is predominantly older people - however still lots of opportunities to head into town for partying if your a young traveller like myself.

We had a wonderful tour, extremely good value for money. You see and do so much - great way to ""get a taste"" of each country. We had 6 dinners and all breakfast included which was delicious and very convenient. The hotels are nice and comfortable and most in great locations to city centre. Our tour leader Rachelle was absolutely incredible! She is very organised and made everything completely stress free. It was very well planned and smooth. Rachelle taught us so much about each destination and was very knowledgeable.

First off our tour leader Rachelle is the best. She's so sweet, organized and punctual. She's also very knowledgeable, you can tell she's been a travel lover and has been leading awhile now. Our driver as well, Ferenc is fantastic! Such a nice guy and felt very safe with him driving. I loved this tour but keep in mind, this is a tour not a holiday or vacation! It's a lot of moving and walking.

Amazing tour leader and driver who took care of us for the whole trip! Packed with many sites to see, facts to learn, fun optional excursions, local guides, bonding on the bus and great food experiences. Great memories created! Thank you!

Good! Great breakfast, great tour leader and bus driver!! Hotels in Prague and Lubljana were fantastic, but the hotel in Krakow was substandard though the location was very good. All local tour guides were very knowledgeable though some delved too much i9nto local history details.

Our 11 day tour was incredible. From beginning to the end, our guide Krizti was organised, informative and friendly. Our tour bus driver, Yozti was polite, and drove safely. Highlights were our stay in Prague including the folk night, our dinner cruise in Budapest and our stop at Auschwitz with an informative guide. All hotels and included meals were great. Most of the walking tours were good but the commentary on the bus by Krizti was a highlight for us.

Excellent Expat tours. Good guide Gabi D, driver & trainee Michalina. All prompt efficient caring fun. The tour and all paid options fantastic. We have been on several other tours Wendy Wu China Trafalgar Europe Globus Cosmos. We like the Expat approach. Already planning next tour with you. Thank you for an amazing experience

The tour was amazing. I saw and experienced so much and grew very close to the group.

Overall the tour was excellent as was both the tour leader - Peter and the driver

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our tour leader, Kristz, was fantastic - steeped in knowledge and history of each country visited! Her calm demeanor and exceeding pleasant personality keep everyone on track and on time! Her local food and drink recommendations were spot on and definitely welcomed. We did all the optional tours and all were fantastic. Expat Explore continues to be the industry leader in value-based experiences and we look forward to our next adventure in November 2024

Our tour leader was great

Our tour guide was amazing, fun and friendly. Saw a lot in a short time.

The time seemed to have gone so fast,. Even in the very hot days everyone on the tour managed to keep up with everyone. In our tour we have some ""oldies"" who are doing fantastically, 82 .81,79,76,71,70.

Very well organized. We visited multiple countries, cities and have lot of memorable experiences in a short time. Instead of returning from Munich, could have had an additional day in Vienna.

This is an easy way to see some gorgeous European cities quickly .

This trip was incredible, from day one our tour guide was amazing .. caring and very knowledgeable.. thanks everyone who made possible this unforgettable experience! I booked this trip before Covid. My tour leader-Dee handled our entire trip from hotel accommodation, tour free day information, etc. It was so nice to pass that responsibility to somebody as competent and timely as Expatexplore. She was also there for us the entire time to handle questions and deal with travel issues. Highly recommend!

First of all our tour leader and driver were exceptional. Always so very cheerful, friendly, helpful, I can't say enough about the wonderful experience. Hotels were ok, some outside some close to inner city. Again tour leader and driver made it easy to get to attractions even when the hotels were a bit further out. Breakfast was always very good, rooms clean, some a bit small. The program and route were perfect. I highly recommend at least some of the optional excursions, well worth the money. Again tour leader had a lot of recommendations and offered information to those not participating in the optional activities. All the included and the optional meals were good, all had vegetarian options and dietary restrictions were taken into account. Thank you Dee and Chris it was wonderful!
