Micalina was a great guide and we had a wonderful group of travellers. Our driver Alex was fabulous taking note of the distances we had to travel. He kept us safe and on time. The sites we visited were suitably curated for the time that was available. It was a rather fast tour so that we could experience the highlights. Visiting the eastern part of Europe and meeting different people, and experiencing the Christmas markets and different food was an enjoyable experience.

The Christmas & New Year's Eastern Highlights Tour with Expat Explore was an unforgettable experience, offering a perfect blend of festive charm, cultural discovery, and breathtaking scenery. At times, it felt like stepping into a fairy tale or being inside a snow globe, with picturesque landscapes, twinkling lights, and charming old towns covered in snow. Our guide, Mica, was truly exceptional—organized, knowledgeable, and incredibly empathetic. She made sure everyone felt comfortable while ensuring a smooth and well-paced journey. Our driver, Alex, was fantastic as well, navigating long distances with skill and safety, making the journey stress-free. One of the highlights of the tour was experiencing the Christmas markets across different countries. Each market had its own unique charm, from the festive decorations to the delicious seasonal treats, making the holiday spirit even more magical. Beyond the well-known cities, I appreciated the opportunity to explore lesser-known yet s
