Europe Explorer

Pete & Sylvie were a fantastic team on the 18 day EX trip. Pete was knowledgeable & energetic, keeping the excitement & anticipation levels high, while.prioritising personal safety & bathroom breaks all the way. Individual attention was paid to people's specific needs & viewing wishlists, & Sylvie was meticulous about driving in the crowded cities despite local eccentricities. All in all, as a solo traveller I felt I was in capable hands.

What a tour! Thank you Peter K for making this a memorable holiday. Pete is a walking encyclopaedia, made each day informative & fun. I appreciate how you looked out for everyone, staying up till you knew we were all back at the hotel & safe. Pete made my major bucket list city Venice a magnificent visit . Some surprise cities: Toulouse so beautiful & a great meal. Avignon castle with the interactive video showing how the castle rooms looked in the day was great. Keep this one on the tour. Being a foodie loved the Macarons in Paris, Cicchetti in Venice, the side of a cow in Tuscany! & pickled herring jn Amsterdam. Made some great new friends on the road. Big thank you to Silvi our coach driver, exceptional driving on some difficult roads. Lovely, happy & patient man. Pete & Silvi team number 1!

Had an absolute blast on this trip! Our tour guide Pete K went above and beyond to create such a memorable holiday. I was a nervous traveler being my first time to Europe, however Pete soon had me feeling confident and safe. The 18 day itinerary was packed with so many of my bucket list places and then some. There were so many laughs along the way and friendships made. I learnt so much about the history and culture of Europe. Definitely take your tour guides advice for the best foods and experiences to try. Some of my best food experiences came from finding places with no English on the menu. Silvian our driver was phenomenal, the way he handled the traffic in Paris I knew we were in good hands. He also let us stop for some amazing scenery pictures along the way. I recommend this trip for everyone and can't wait to come back for more expat tours.

The trip from Amsterdam and back was fabulous!! My wife and I enjoyed visiting all 10 countries and to top it off we had a great tour guide Pete. He was very knowledgeable about the history, culture and cuisines at every stop. Thanks Expat for an amazing Europe trip.!

This tour with Pete as our guide and Sylvian as our driver was the best experience ever! I thoroughly recommend Expat Explore as a tour company and Pete as a tour leader. We saw and did so much on tour, far more than I ever anticipated. I have learnt so much about the history and culture of the places we've been, walked so far, tasted new foods, made new friends, been so very well looked after that I can't speak highly enough of the experience. I thoroughly enjoyed being part of the group, as Pete knitted us into a family. Traveling as a group enriched our time and made our memories so much more special. It also meant we could relax while Pete took care of all the logistics for us. The bus was very comfortable to travel on and Pete kept us entertained with lots of fun commentary alternated with good snooze time. We packed so much into 18 days, it would never have been possible on our own. If you are looking to do a tour, choose this one!

There were only 15 of us and I'm thankful for the great group of travellers. I see this tour as a teaser to coming trips as we didn't stay long enough to explore more of each city.

A great itinerary with a good mix of activity and free time. Was fast paced but got to get a lovely snapshot of Europe . Michelle was a friendly and knowledgeable tour leader and Gareth was a very safe driver and they make a great team!

We were anxious at first to travel for 18 days with a group. But the tour was planned so well and Michelle was so professional. She always have a heads up on what to expect, So kids were also prepared their minds for what to expect. The itinerary covered lot of ground but we didn't feel it to be very fast paced too. There was one under par hotel ( the one in Toulous) which we didn't like. The rest of hotels n breakfasts were great. Thank you!

Michelle & Gareth were great. They ensured we had the best time at each destination.

I say this if you get Michelle and driver we had you have best time of your life learn a lot see a lot this was my first tour I could stay on tour with them forever if I could

This was my first trip to Europe and I could not imagine experiencing it any better than on the 18 day EX tour. Although we only scratched the surface of many places it gave a wonderful perspective for places I want to come back to for further exploration. We covered a lot of ground in 18 days and made unforgettable memories. I was expecting to see beautiful things and have great experience but the relationships that formed within our group were an unexpected, and delightful, surprise. I'm so thankful I choose to do this tour and have recommended to all of my friends. I will definitely do another Expat tour when I'm able. Disclaimer; This is not a trip for those who want to kick back and relax. It was very active with many early mornings, late night and non-stop adventure days.

Excellent memories and informative tour EX - 18 Days thank you expat explore

Our tour leader Gustavo and coach driver Antonio were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. They both worked with patience and good humour and made the tour a pleasurable experience. All the passengers got on well together which made for a happy tour.

Everything is excellent, especially the guide Gustavo and the driver Antonio

Michelle and Gareth were wonderful the itinerary was excellent. Very fast paced.

Europe is very beautiful. So many places to see but too short a time to enjoy them. Not recommended to seniors like me because of the fast pace of the tour.

Be prepared to be exhausted but fulfilled

Great tour!! Firo and Capitano Joshy made a great team, Joshy was the best driver ever! Firo did a great job, he was very knowledgeable, very friendly, kept us entertained, gave everyone individual attention. He also spoke several languages. Could not have asked for a better team.

I did the 18 days Europe Exporer from 25th April to 12 th May 2023. This was my first tour and first visit to Europe also my first tour with Expat. It was a great experience beyond what I expected. There was so much to see and learn. I have never heard of Andorra, it is a beautiful place. The drive was very scenic. Our driver Jyoshi is an excellent driver, a remarkable gentleman with an amazing personality. The tour leader Firo Borges is the best. His knowledge, skills and abilities is superb. He is passionate about his job and takes great pride in doing it. He dealt with all questions and issues. Firo and Jyoshi worked very well for a first time. They make an excellent team. I recommend they work together on other tours.

First of all, our tour leader Gustavo and our coach Driver Lukasz was beyond amazing! They were primarily the reason why this trip was very smooth and easy. The tour itself was so much fun! We got to see 7 countries in a span of 18 days which was totally worth it! The excursion were also so fun especially the jungfrau in Switzerland, which is the group's highlight of the trip!

We loved and enjoyed every moment of this trip

Special mention to our Tour Leader Gustavo, and Bus Driver Lukas for taking care of us! They go above and beyond just for us to experience Europe in a different light.

I've had such an amazing experience in this tour. Gustavo and Lukas were both extremely professional and helpful during the course of the journey.

We had a great time seeing Europe through this whirlwind tour. However, please just keep in mind that this is a BUDGET tour and the accommodations definitely reflect that throughout most of the trip. As long as you are here to take in the beautiful cities and countryside you'll do fine, just scale back your living quarters expectations and take it all in stride!

Gustavo (tour leader) and Jean (our driver) provided the ideal ingredients for creating our 'epic family European vacation'. Our family (21, 30, 50, 56) loved everything, saw everything, did everything - ticking many items from the life 'bucket list'! Memories for a lifetime!! So grateful to the tour operator for hiring such a awesome team and creating a package like this!! Epic!!

The best part of this tour was the organized tour areas and then your free time to explore for yourself

One of the memorable tour in my life. I wouldnt be able to visit the beautiful place i have been if i were not join with expat.

on the go and kept interested, places visited and time spent exploring were adequate but extra time to yourself would be appreciated

Good

I love this trip and actually am thinking of another trip with Expat. Steve is a wonderful tour leader and made things a lot more interesting

It was my first time to Europe and it was a beautiful tour. Bravo. Bravo.

It's was everything explained in Expat information and so much more. A life time experience we will never forget and expat made it so easy and enjoyable.

I had a great time on our 18 day tour around Europe and would defiantly recommend it. Amazing sights in a short amount of time but be aware of early mornings and walking to a lot of places so you need to be reasonably fit. The only downfall was that you have to pay for a lot of optional tours that I though could have been included and the tipping of the driver/tour guide at the end of the trip was also unnecessary as that's there job and they're getting paid for it but we felt forced into it. I would go on another expat tour and have recommended it to my family and friends.

It was such an amazing tour with my amazing family from different parts of the world. Our tour leader was able to manage the group to cover so much in such a short time and our driver kept us feel safe with his smooth driving during the entire trip. Great team work by Pedro and Jean. The optional experiences were all great, the hotels and included meals were all good. I am very satisfied with this first time experience with your company. Thank you for making my first time tour in Europe so memorable.

You really can't get a better price than this for all that you get! Expat did a fantastic job of finding great hotels for us. They were usually on the edge of the cities (not in the middle of downtown), but it was usually just a 20 minute bus or train ride into town. Our tour leader Emma did a great job of telling us historical and interesting facts about the places we traveled but also let us catch up on sleep on the coach. She also kept us informed of all the upcoming events and her planning was flawless. Jean was a superb driver and maneuvered the big coach through the narrow streets of Europe. If you're looking for a tour company, Expat is the way to go!

First time traveller with Expat and I can't praise them highly enough. You get terrific value for money, the accommodations were mostly excellent (except one had no hot water). Tour leader and driver were outstanding. Days were long but we saw so much more than anticipated. Will use them again.

Meeting new friends and discovering places is great... small rooms..short time for excursion between place not good... a flamenco danc8ng(a.k.a. singing) is a no..i was expecting more dancing.......

We have just spent 18 days touring Europe with this operator and had the mist wonderful time with a great bunch of people. We saw so many cities and towns. The tour accommodation was great and very close to transport. Our tour leader Emma was fantastic, so helpful, and so knowledgeable. Also great fun to be with. Our driver Jean was also great . We would totally recommend Expat Tours to travel with. Thank you. One suggestion ... please make eftpos facilities available for optional tours payment, so much was easier.

This is the second time I've traveled with expat and it was amazing as usual, new places. New adventures, great people. Its a fast paced tour but worth it . thanks to Emma and Jean for an amazing time. See you soon again.....

The 18 days Europe tour was my first and I was so thankful first to God second to the team of Emma & Jean, our tour guide and driver respectively who made our tour a very memorable one. We made a lot of friends in the tour, something that made our memories more special. Again, well done Expat and may God bless your business more and more.

Choosing Expat was a great decision. I was a bit apprehensive when I first booked our trip because I did not know much about them, but after the 18 day Europe explorer I am so happy that we made the right decision. We saw everything we expected and a whole lot more. Our tour leader Kevin was great. Nothing was too much trouble and he went out of his way to accommodate every request that was made. He was an absolute pleasure. We have done a few tours with other companies before but this was by far one of the best. Our driver Craig was also amazing. He is an absolute master behind the wheel and we never felt unsafe while he was driving.. Thank you Kev for combining Keukenhof with the other excursion in Amsterdam, this was by far my favourite part and would not have seen this if you did not make an effort for our group to see this amazing wonder. I have nothing negative to say at all. Well done Expat and thank you for making our holiday an unforgettable adventure.

Expect lots of walking, extra money for excursions and tips, long days. Some sites you go though very quickly but it is just a taste of Europe. Excellent coach driver = Craig. Excellent tour leader = Kev. Finding new friends and new adventures, amazing sites, sounds, smells and experiences. I would choose Expat again.
