Tour leader Shae and driver Pascal are absolute assets to your company. The tour was made extra special largely because of them. They took such great care of us. This was an amazing once in a lifetime tour of Europe. So many beautiful sights and experiences in such a short amount of time. Thank you Shae and Pascal!!!
An amazing and intense trip through eleven countries in two weeks, visiting some of the most beautiful and interesting places that Europe has to offer. Our tour guide Roma and driver Sam went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met, from checking in to hotels to making sure we arrived on time for excursions, dinner and everything in-between.
The tour was amazing and the tour leader Roma was fantastic and very knowledgeable, the driver sam also deserves recognition for his driving on such small European roads and especially in paris where the traffic is crazy.
This journey offers incredible value. Across 14 days, you'll explore 11 countries, discovering places you might not have considered visiting otherwise. Our tour guide, Noddy, is not only knowledgeable and well-organized but also dedicated to ensuring we have an unforgettable experience. With Dennis behind the wheel, you will feel safe, and his driving expertise has been proven over and over. The activities both the included and optional are well organised and allow you to experience the vibe of each location. This was a great experience for me as a solo traveller and i look forward to going back to Europe and to more tours.
Our tour guide, Noddy, was full of knowledge about each of the countries we visited and she handled all the logistics like a pro. We had a very friendly and fun group so that really made the tour for me. We saw so much and had many epic adventures. I recommend this tour to anyone wanting a solid sample of Europe. Just keep in mind there is a lot of bus time.
Gustavo the guide and Coens the driver were great and always helpful.
Excellent experience, Pascal and Matt where a wonderful Team that took care of us well.
We really enjoyed our fast paced tours of 11 countries in 14 days. Gustavo our guide and Coen our bus driver, were wonderful, as were the local tour guides we had in the cities we visited. I would highly recommend this trip.
It is a fully packed tour but Matt and Pascal tried their best to make things as comfortable as possible. Matt is ver knowledgeable and tried to squeeze all sights, interesting spots in, explained the histories of various country in such an easy and flowing way that you'd thought he is actually a TV presenter. He is quietly attentive, caring and oversees things. Pascal is very kind and caring too, the trip covered the main part of central Europe and it is indeed the jewel of Europe.
It was everything we hoped for and more! We appreciated the pace and the broad experiences. Staff was very professional and very patient and accommodating with such a variety of people!
It was our first time and did not know what to expect. But we managed to go with the schedule. There was always excitement everyday. The tour leader, Gustavo took care of us. He was a true leader. The driver was also very helpful, knowledgeable and safe.
This is a fast pace tour so we've seen many points of interests in 11 counties in 14 days. It was well organized and learned some of the countries history, which was very nice. Pascal is such a caring person and excellent driver. He always have that beautiful smile and warm hello whenever he sees you even though he worked for many long hours. Would give him 7 stars out of 5. He goes above and beyond expectations. What an asset forExpat! Matt is very well versed in European history and it is great learning from him. He also kept us well informed so that the tour runs smoothly, which we appreciate very much. Though a couple of the hotels are not up to par, it won't prevent us from touring through Expat in the future. Overall, it was a great experience for us .
It was wonderful but sadly too short !
Gustavo, our tour leader made our experience so enjoyable, relaxed and easy. He was very caring and did his best to assist us in any way he could. Even when some things didn't go according to plan, he still remained positive. Having Gustavo as our tour leader made all the difference to our time in Europe. Gustavo is a GEM in Expat Explore. 5 star driving from Coen. He was very safe and careful and we felt very comfortable riding in the bus with him as our driver.
This was our first coach tour and we enjoyed the experience. We enjoyed most of the planned stops and group dinners.
A wonderful, busy tour with great guide - you feel safe in their hands. An excellent way to get a taste of several bucket list places giving you the confidence to perhaps return alone. Just what I wanted. This was a dream trip for me
I found affordable taking tour with Expat. We had Gustavo as our tour leader and Coen as our driver. Gustavo gave us good advice all the time. I felt safe travelling with Coun. We almost done all excursions but I loved the Paradis Latin Cabaret 5 stars. What a show!!
I had a lovely adventure as solo traveller. I enjoy the walks, the group, and our guide. Visited lots of wonderful places and learn so much of history.
The tour is busy but you see a great amount. We were fortunate to have a great tour leader in Shae and a great driver in Hans.
Enjoy the tour, very pleased with the tour guide, Gustavo and the driver, Coen. They are fantastic, I would like to have them on my next tour.
We had a great time on this whirlwind trip. The tour leader was great and our driver was amazing the way he handled our tour bus!!! Highly recommend this trip!
This tour combined a very well thought-out itinerary overall with much appreciated free days in several key cities along the way. The included city guides were excellent as were the included tour dinner venues. All of them. The included River/Canal cruises were great too! I participated in several ""optional activities"" and all were very high quality and worthwhile, particularly the Jungfraujoch in Switzerland. But even a great itinerary can leave participants unsatisfied without great leadership. I'd like to give SUPER-HIGH MARKS to SHAE HARRINGTON, our tour guide, as she kept the tour (morning bus departures, city visits, side visits, hotel arrivals, evening activities, etc.) on-schedule and Shae was always available to answer questions or lend help, all with a great sense of humour and a smile. I give the EJ tour high marks equally for the great itinerary and the great execution by Shae.
I commend the entire team of this travel company for their remarkable efforts. They have made travel accessible to all, providing an unforgettable experience at an affordable price. Our interactions with them have always been smooth and prompt. Our tour guide Kriszti and driver Coen went above and beyond to ensure our EJ Tour was exceptional. They dedicated time to acquaint themselves with us and ensured our safe transport to exquisite locations. The accommodations were generally comfortable and satisfactory. The inclusion of local favorites in the food offerings was a delightful touch. We will undoubtedly choose Expat Explore for our future travels. The only suggestion for improvement would be to extend the duration in each country, even if it entails additional costs. This would allow travelers to explore the destinations more thoroughly while still having adequate rest. Hats off to the entire Expat Explore Team.
We had the best time on our EJ tour in September this year! It was great to experience so much in so little time (11 countries in 14 days). Our tour leader Shae was the best! She was very organised, knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the locations we visited, and made everyone feel comfortable. Our driver Hans was great and got us safely to all our destinations. The best driver in Europe! We loved all the included experiences such as the river cruises and meals. Our highlights for the optional excursions were the Venice gondola ride and Switzerland Jungfrau top of Europe experience. Overall this tour is a great way to experience the best parts of Europe.
Where to begin? From the moment I made my first payment to secure my booking up until the time I said goodbye to the the persons I met on tour, the wonderful driver Coen and even more amazing tour guide Steve, Expat Explore met and surpass expectations. Although it is a fast paced tour schedule and some days I just wanted to stay in bed a bit longer so I can relax in the hotel, I do not regret any part of it and have definitely recommended it to many of my peeps back at home. With some minor setbacks which were no fault of the company, they dealt with them with professionalism and always seemed the well-being of us clients. I have already started looking at tours with Expat Explore that are offered in different continents and have invited some of my friends to join me. The company is doing an amazing job and I look forward to joining them again in the near future.
Extremely well organized, every small detail considered such as Metro and Tram tickets, VIP entrance and reservations No guess work as the tour guide knew her stuff and made sure everyone had complete knowledge, timing and locations prior to each days tours
Well planned and executed itinerary.Our tour leader was amazing with very pleasant and commanding personality.
My partner & I have previously each done a Europe tour with other companies & they didn't even come close to being as good as this one!! Everything about this tour was amazing. We absolutely loved the itinerary & the whole thing was very organised & planned to perfection. Shae was our tour leader & was knowledgeable & organised. We had absolutely no issues on the tour, apart from someone forgetting a bag, but Shae was a super star & got it back quickly. We loved that the tour went to a lot of beautiful, quaint towns. All of the hotels were great, apart from our hotel in Tuscany (no aircon, dusty rooms) & Paris (room wasn't cleaned properly). The Alpenrose gardens hotel in Switzerland was amazing & we didn't want to leave! We had Hans as our bus driver & we are convinced that he is the best driver in Europe! We have even started looking at our next expat tour!
Dee our tour leader is very knowledgeable, organized and so caring. She definitely made our trip more fun. Cohn kept us safe with his driving skills and such a pleasant guy. We couldn't have asked for a nicer group of people, our group got along so well. Definitely one of the best Expat tour.
We had an amazing time. The service provided by Dee our very friendly and professional tour leader and Coen exceptional driving skills made this tour perfect. Dee is very thoughtful, and makes sure everyone's particular needs are covered so we can all enjoy the tours.
Very fast paced, hard to take it all in.
This trip was my first time travelling to Europe, and with Expat Explore. We saw so many magical places in such a short amount of time. It was a great way to see so many iconic, beautiful cities and locations. However, it is very fast paced tour with early morning starts and some long days travelling on the bus so be prepared for that.
My husband and I came on this tour after asking a friend to include us in her group of seasoned travelers. I kept thinking then if I did the right thing because I learned this is a fast-paced tour and we might not keep up. And, AM I EVER SO GLAD AND GRATEFUL WE CAME! The tour took us to 11 countries with varied, unique, and interesting interests to offer on their own. I was mesmerized and truly enjoyed the majestic and picture-perfect beauty of the Swiss mountains on our Journey to the Top of Europe - Jungfrau. What Switzerland alone has to offer makes the tour all worth it! Most of all learning or rediscovering something about ourselves, enjoying life and new experiences, making new friends and forging relationships, as well as finding more Filipinos living and working all over the world, even in far-flung places, makes it a very heartwarming story of lifetime memories in my books. Thank you to our top-notch tour crew - the tour leader Gustavo Nuno Gomes and the pilot behind the wheel, Pascal Kok for the best team-up ever. We really enjoyed and appreciated all your efforts and service in making this tour a wonderful experience. Kudos also to Expat Explore for putting up together tours worthy of every penny! ~Cecilia G.~
My wife and I went on this tour as a reward to ourselves for our retirement. We just want to try traveling and see if this is something we would like to do. And this tour did not disappoint! Starting and ending at Amsterdam, Netherlands, touring around to see 10 cities in 10 different countries in 14 days is a feat (the historic Rhine Valley, Germany; Prague, Czech Rep; Bratislava, Slovakia; Vienna, Austria; Budapest, Hungary; Ljubljana, Slovenia; the cities of Venice, Florence and a side trip to Pisa in Italy; the poster perfect and exhilarating Jungfrau Top of Europe experience in Switzerland; the mesmerizing lighted Eiffel Tower by night in Paris, France; and finally, Ghent, Belgium on the way back. It's a fast-paced tour - exhausting at times but I should say truly amazing and wonderful. I believe our 5-star tour leader, Gustavo Nuno Gomes, and the excellent driving skills of Pascal Kok made this trip a lifetime memory for us!
Magnificent memories to be treasured, our tour guide Gustavo Gomez, his amazing, his one of a kind, makes everything in details, from the hotel, foods, places, makes sure that everyone is ok, and our driver Pasqual/Pascal , his beyond and sweet, always in smile, and makes sure that we reach our destination safely . That's why it's make our travel so amazing and memorable.
Thank you Expat Explore for the amazing experience. We would like to express special thanks to the excellent gentlemen, Gustavo and Pascal, who's very caring to all during our trip, We're very grateful that we were kept safe, guided and supported well by our tour host and coach captain. Again, Thank you and More Power, Expat Explore!! Til next time
I've really enjoyed Gustavo n Pascal did on excellent job good relationship to all of us good communication, events, we are a good family, our 14 days well done good service towards our Tour guide Gustavo n our hard working Driver Pascal excellent service
The tour was awesome and amazing especially accompanied with the experienced driver and the tour leader . The shared performance and passion with their teammates (whole group) that makes our travels memorable and enjoyable… It is a priceless and unforgettable memories .
Our guide, Gustavo, was amazing at making sure we got to see the sites in the short amount of time we had in each city. This is a great tour if you meant a sampler of many countries and many sites in a short amount of time. Gustavo was always well planned and prepared. He was knowledgeable about the sites that we saw and did a fantastic job of leading us.
It was an extremely busy tour. Very busy, a lot of walking. Late nights and late check in into hotel took its toll.
Tour leader Gustavo was extremely good
Gustavo and Coen were top notch ! Amazing service and above and beyond everyday. Lots of traveling and saw so many things. It's just a glimpse of many towns - but we saw lots of things everywhere. Group dinners were pretty good and hotels were small but good. Well worth it for a glimpse of many countries.
Exceeded expectations.
Early starts late finishes, all made easy by our fantastic tour guide Gustavo and the driver Coon. Thanks to these two men we were able to see more and get greater insights than we could have anticipated.
Wonderful
Highly recommended!
Steve and Pascal did a very good job during our tour..very approachable and happy duo
Amazing Tour.. very knowledgeable Tour Guide and very Experienced Coach Driver…. Worth the money!! Thank you guys!!!!
Best experience you can ever feel Need to do this once in a life and you will want to do it again and again
I could not believe how much I was able to see in just two short weeks. The tours were lovely but my favorite parts were the experiences I had in each country. I loved tasting the local food, swimming in the lakes, seeing what made that particular city/country unique. Be prepared for exhaustion. This tour was nonstop.
