Europe Taster

Fantastic. So much seen and done in such a short space of time. Wonderful staff and tour party. I would definitely recommend it to anybody.

This tour is a whirlwind of delights and is everything the tour promises it to be. A taste of Europe. All of the destinations were wonderful. The optional activities were great value for money. I never would have seen so much of Paris on my own. Victoria was an incredibly kind, caring and knowledgable tour leader and James was a safe and careful driver. Ricardo was training on the tour and he was also delightful and will make a great leader too. I highly recommend the ET tour and I highly recommend Expat Explore to travel with. I will be booking again.

Krizsti our tour leader was very knowledgeable of each country's culture on the do's and dont's. We were blessed with good weather during our tour and I would like to state here that Krizsti and Schongi (our driver) went above and beyond tonreally make us experience and maximize the time and the beautiful weather we had. My friends and i were very grateful of this experience. We are planning for another one in the near future. Way to go EE. Until next booking.

As a solo traveller in Europe for the first time, this tour was just what I was looking for. While very fast paced, it allowed me to ""taste"" many countries in a short amount of time so that I'd know where I want to spend more time in the future. The Paris+ optional excursion was a big highlight and a great value for the amount we did and saw. Our tour leader, Kriszti, was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and organized. She really made the experience memorable and I learned so much from her. Our driver, Isti, navigated us safely and comfortably through every country. Overall it was a wonderful experience and I will certainly book with Expat Explore again.

We had an amazing experience with Expat exploring Europe.We are group of 4 people at the start of the tour, but at the end of the tour we felt we found ourselves surrounded with beautiful kind hearted people, the connections are magical. We felt like we've known each others for a long time, we met new good friends and we all get along well. The travel is short and sweet and we made alot of happy memories together, this is a great experience of a lifetime!! Thisexperience is one surely. I will always remember and knowing even before our tour are coming to an end , me quite occupied looking for another adventure to book with these guys. Well done to our Tour guide Michella and our Tour Driver Florin who really worked so hard and keep us all safe and makes us all a happy family.

On this tour it was amazing I loved it only if the trip was longer. Wish there was more time in the last few places we visited rather than staying in Paris. At least 2 days in the Netherlands would have been good since there was so much to see but yet so little time. All the views were breathe taking and pictures couldn't top them. Our tour guide Dee was amazing she had good knowledge of telling us about the areas we went into and always kept track of the group.

This is our first time in Europe so we booked for a 7-day ET. Started in London which is very convenient for us. Coach was very comfortable, we were able to doze off fine during the travel. The driver, Sylven (sorry not sure how to spell his name right) was the best. He drives smoothly and patiently especially in the ""jungle"" streets of Paris! Tour leader Mike was smart and very informative but was hoping he could've been more fun and more approachable with the rest of team. He was very organized. He gives us treats/sweets - which was really nice. Morever, we were able to meet a mix of various travellers (solo, couples & friends) from US, Australia, Philippines & S.Korea. It was fun! The whole trip was amazing considering it was a ""taster"", could've been much better if it was more than a week. My favourite part of the trip was the Top of Europe experience in Jungfraujoch! 'Twas hearstopping to say the least. And the rest of the Swiss Alps stops are truly lovely and has unrealistically beautiful sceneries. My least favourite was the Rhine Valley, we were only there for little half a day. Only get to see a portion of Boppard, Germany. Didn't like the Rhine River cruise as it was raining. Didn't much have time to have a proper walk around the town. All accomodations provided are pretty decent, although they will only give you twin bed rooms despite requesting for a double bed or a joint bed for a couple travellers. Daily breakfasts and 4 included dinners are tasteful. Overall, it was truly a value for money! We would highly recommend this tour if it's your first time in Europe!

The tour was apt for first time traveller to Europe. It saves time and effort in planning your itinerary. The tour guide Michelle Robson caring and helpful, she made sure everyone is aware of the activities by providing our daily itinerary thru social media or handwritten itinerary no one miss out. She inspire and encourage us to participate in optional activities which I'm grateful!that I did. Its one of those moment you ask yourself due to time essense you will never know if you gonna come back in that place so I grab the chance while I can. I have experienced one of the best travel adventure ""Jungfrau"" top of Europe. Our driver Alex his brilliant driving skills in moving in and out in ""Arc de Triomphe"", entering the narrow entrance of The Louvre via Bus is very good! but above all reaching our destinations safely! In my opinion this is highly recommended for first time traveller to Europe because it gives you samples of experiences that you might like to experience once again as time permits by God's grace in your lifetime. Prepare for this trip by starting to walk regularly for long distances, wear the same shoes in your travel. Don't forget to bring raincoat or umbrella as the weather change. If possible my suggestion try to change some Euros as your monetary fund during this travel from your country of origin.

My daughter and I loved every minute of this trip. Our tour leader Gabi was a mother hen to the group. She always made sure everyone was well informed about the places we were visiting and where and when our meeting points were and made us feel safe visiting foreign countries. Our bus driver Chris was excellent and somehow made driving/parking a huge bus in tiny streets look easy. We experienced some of the EB in only a few days but managed to see and do alot. I am already planning another expat tour for next year, just need to decide where and when.

Our experience with the tour was a marvellously magnificent positive experience. Seeing places in Europe, such as London, France, Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium, was a fantastic, exciting feeling. Our group could not take off our phones to take pictures of each place. We bought souvenirs from each location to remember our experience. All the hotels we stayed in were great. The breakfast and dinner were amazingly surprisingly delicious and fulfilling. The walks on the sightseeing were fantastic. Most of all, the tour journey was positively explendid because of our team leader: Gabi. She was amazingly positive, caring for each of us throughout the journey. She was knowledgeable, approachable, and professional. Also, the travel was safe because of the fantastic driving skills of Florentine. He ensures our security throughout the journey and also keeps our belongings safe. Overall, the tour journey was a unique and wonderful experience.

I enjoyed the tour very much, though its my first time to experience being a Ninja Tourist. Gives us more discipline and being orderly in the Tour. Our driver Sinisa was a very smooth driver and took care of our luggages. Jared was very knowledgeable about giving a history first of the places we've visited. I like Laurie and Jared because they know your name all of us being 44 onboard, that's amazing! They gave us extra surprises while on board like Macarons, Chocolates, Wine, little things matters. They were so organized and didn't experience much hassle at all. Highly recommended to new travelers.

You have a taste of each one in such a short time and thanks to the deep knowledge of their tour leaders you will be able to enjoy it very much. - our days were very full of wonderful activities and no 1 minute was wasted. Our free time was really to experience a place on your own and with the best recommendations! - All our meals were simply delicious, it was the best of the local cuisine and most of them were in stunning locations. - I believe Expat Explore is extraordinary in terms value for money and I will definitely go on tour with them in future again! - This company is really a memories maker!

Chris our driver is the best, he went beyond our itinerary just to show us places that we want to see. He is an amazing driver! Our family felt safe with his driving expertise. We cannot count how many times we had to clap our hands for his unimaginable driving skills. With Firo and Chris tandem we got the best tour that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Hoping to travel with expat explore in the near future. Thank you so much Firo and Chris. Your next tour will be so lucky to have you both. God bless.

He was funny, kind & considerate all excellent attributes to have but especially as a ""Tour"" leader. Gareth just an all round nice guy, and an awesome driver, & that's coming from a fairly nervous passenger I felt safe & in very good hands... especially when in the ""Swiss Alps"".

I recently went on a 7-day Europe trip with Expat Explore and had the pleasure of having Dee as our tour guide and Lukas as our driver. Both of them were absolutely fantastic and made the trip even more enjoyable. Dee was extremely knowledgeable about each of the countries we visited, providing us with interesting facts and insights about the history and culture of each place. She was also very organized and kept us on schedule throughout the trip, ensuring that we made the most of our time in each city. Lukas was an excellent driver, navigating the winding roads of the Rhine Valley and the busy streets of Amsterdam with ease. He was always punctual and made sure that the coach was comfortable and clean for us. The itinerary for the trip was well-planned and allowed us to see a lot of different cities and attractions in a relatively short amount of time. Paris, the Rhine Valley, Amsterdam, Belgium, and Switzerland were all stunning and had their own unique charm. The accommodations were comfortable and conveniently located, making it easy to explore each city on our itinerary. The transportation between cities was also well-organized and efficient, which helped maximize our time in each location. Overall, I would highly recommend this 7-day Europe trip with Dee as our tour guide and Lukas as our driver. The itinerary was comprehensive, the guide and driver were excellent, and the overall experience was memorable and enjoyable

Yes, it was fast paced but it was just a Taster. Our group was amazing and Roma was extraordinary, she was knowledgeable and funny and very friendly. Alessandro was an amazing driver! He received tons of applause multiple times with his maneuvering. The excursions were great I enjoyed all of them except the fondue. We didn't do the fondue. I would recommend this tour to anyone who only has a week but wants to see a lot.

As a first time solo traveller, I was nervous about travelling on my own. As soon as I got onto the coach I felt welcomed and really comfortable. Roma is an excellent tour leader who is very organised and kept all 52 of us safe and happy the whole week, always going above and beyond for us and asking if we are all ok. It's clear Expat Explore really care about their customers and your happiness is their number one priority. The whole group was lovely and welcoming and I had an amazing time. Big thank you to our tour leader Roma and driver Alessandro who was amazing in driving us around Europe safely. Will definitely book again!

This is the perfect tour for someone who wants to explore Europe, but has limited time and/or finances. I had to decide whether I want to tour Europe with a tour group or on my own (I was traveling with my son), and I can now, after the tour highly recommend taking this specific tour. Why? 1. I do not want to drive in European cities or towns. If you're staying in one city for a longer period then yes, maybe. But the streets are narrow and parking is limited - I wouldn't be able to relax. Traveling with a bus makes it so much easier - you do not have to worry how to get to places, it is someone else's responsibility. You can sit back and enjoy the scenery. 2. We had so many free time / free days. I do not always want to be bound to a strict "tour program". I like to explore my own things. This tour allowed you to do this, but it also provides additional (optional) activities which is arranged and planned for you by the tour leader. Therefore, if you want to visit and explore a specific attraction on your own, you can still do it. Alternatively, you can still spend a day with the group and tour leader. 3. I knew beforehand what is included and what not. The additional activities and its prices were given to me prior to the tour. There were no unforeseen costs (which may not always be the case if you travel on your own). The accommodation was good, but the highlight was the Alpenrose Hotel in Wilderswil, Switzerland. The whole experience there was more than what you would expect of a hotel. The staff (office, tour leader and bus driver) were all professional and helpful. My fellow tour group members were from places around the world and it was such a nice way of getting to know more about them and the places they are from. Everyone treated each other with respect. Would I do this tour again? Yes! Do I recommend this tour? Yes! Will I travel with the tour operator again? Yes! As a matter of fact, I won't tour with any other company ever again.

Let me start of by recommending this tour company to anyone. The tour operator had everything well organized. The accommodations were good, food at each location was good, the coach driver'Joshua' was an excellent driver, tour guide/leader 'Gustavo' was excellent, and optional tour's were good. This was my first international tour trip and the operator met my requirements and more. I'm from the Caribbean "Trinidad and Tobago ????". This tour company is an legitimate company. You do not have to worry about it being a scam. We meet one of the owners of the company in Switzerland ????at an hotel ??. I will definitely be touring with this tour operator in the future.

The tour was well-organized and efficiently managed. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and the driver was excellent. I would give it five stars except that the tour guide publicly reprimanded my traveling companion and me for arriving several minutes late at the beginning of the trip, and the driver was generally gruff and unfriendly during the entire tour. This cast a bit of a pall over the whole trip, which is a shame, because other than that it was a great experience. I couldn't have imagined a more effective way of seeing so many countries in such a short time.

The absolute highlighs of this tour were the free day in Paris and Switzerland. The trip only has 2 free days, i really think you need one more as the 2 free days happen earlier on in the trip and for the remainder, its a bit too much on the bus. I would suggest skipping the Rhine Valley and maybe having a day in Amsterdam to see the Anne Frank museum. There is so much more to do in Amsterdam other than 1.5 hours of the red light district. My tour leader (Richard) and Gary the driver were absolute legends and really made the trip. It would be great if we could pay online for the activities, it was hard to keep the cash on you for the optionals Id also really like it if you gave more options for the Switzerland with discounts. We ended up going to Grindelwald and doing the First with 2 activities

I was so scared to go on this tour to begin with, 22 and solo booking I was nervous about making friends. When I saw how diverse the bus was, I was still nervous but I totally had nothing to worry about! After the first day everyone relaxed and started to talk and by the end everyone had really bonded and was having so much fun together. The whole trip was soo smooth with timings and getting from place to place, it was awesome having first priorities on the excursions and included activities too. Steve and Minty were amazing and really made the trip memorable. I was so impressed at how much we did in such a short amount of time, and the great value for money too! I had put down I was happy to share a room with a fellow traveller for the trip but I was very lucky and was given a room all to myself throughout the whole trip which was a very welcome bonus! I cant gush enough at how much I loved this trip, it really blew me away. The fact that it was people from all over the world and all age groups was actually really cool, and although it wouldve been cool to have a few younger solo travellers to talk to, it definately didnt make the experience any less amazing that there wasnt, because the people I did meet were all so lovely! If anyone is looking to book this trip.. I say definately go for it!!

Fantastic. We were planning to see Europe by ourselves and travel through countries via train like many of our friends (we're in our twenties). However this holiday gave us the opportunity to see all the countries we wanted to but in a far more relaxed way. There was no stress or worry at all about catching the right train or whatever because all we had to do was sit back on the coach and the driver did it all. Additionally, the hotels included in the tour were really nice. If we planned it by ourselves and stuck to the same price as what we payed for Expat, we wouldn't have had as much luxury. In the same way the included meals were great - 3 courses rather than the simple main we might have had if we weren't with Expat. Places like Switzerland are really expensive - on our free day where we did pay for our food (only 2 meals weren't included which was fine) it was £45 for a burger, pork with fries and tap water. Furthermore myself and my husband aren't particularly sociable people and chose to keep to ourselves on the tour. But if we'd wanted to we could have joined in more group activities and made more friends. Our tour leader was great. She was very approachable and helpful, if we had concerns about anything she eager to help us.

There was never a time that I felt unsafe, or disappointed, or ignored or pressured to participate in a part of the tour I was not interested in. The bus driver, Tony, was not only an amazing driver/navigator, but he was kind, generous, jovial, and worked tirelessly without uttering one cross word! Our tour guide, Stacey, was brilliant in her knowledge of our locations, as well as how to find solutions to any of the requests made. She too, was so cheerful, hard working, kind, uplifting to each traveler, went far beyond all my expectations. Stacy quietly wove our very diverse group into a family who looked after each other, and respected each other, and rejoiced in the blessings of this tour. I admire how well the company has done all the research on attractions, hotels, options, yet kept it financially do-able without sacrificing quality. I cannot wait to join up with the tour operator again and explore this amazing world. Thank you is just not adequate in expressing my deepest gratitude to this outstanding company! My memories of this journey will make everyday a "lovely" day to be treasured.

athe tour was alright, but i dos not feel the Germany Rhine Balley part because the bus trip was too long and we spent only the Afternoon there, the rhine valley cruise WAS NOT GOOD. i think its better if you add extra freed days in Germany and Amsterdam even if you increase the proce its alright, thant way the tourist will not be sitting in the bus for half day and spend the half day or almost night already in one place You should also consider putting WIFI on your huses like the other tour coaches

I had the best time with Taste of Europe, from the beginning to the end. Paris was amazing, we walked all day on our own. Heading to Switzerland is a long drive but in the end the hotel and accommodation were wonderful. The gardens, the mountains just wow. Germany heading up the Rhine on the boat was great. The Netherlands and doing the Beer bike ride was so much fun. Tired but loads of fun. Belgium was picturesque a small little town of Bruges. I only wish we had more time in Bruges. All in all I have told all my family and friends about Expat and this tour. Our tour guide Carly was amazing. Carly had great knowledge of all the places we visited. Our driver George knew the short cuts if traffic was bad. When we were heading to our hotel in Switzerland the motorway was blocked George took a side route. A very nice route indeed. Carly was patience when we had to wait for others who was running late. Thanks so much Expat for a great time. This was my 3 tour with Expat. I have had a great time with all 3 tours.

I recently completed the europe taster trip for 7 days. It was a great experience. We were a large group of 51 people and I am lucky to have such lovely co travellers. As promised, the tour was very hectic and fast paced. Time was of essence and every member in our group were always bang on time whih made the trip quite convinient. Our tour leader Perci was informative and quite good at keeping the team together. I had a wonderful time and made new friends. Pros: Affordable Fast paced : A definite NO for people looking for relaxing on a vacation Maximum utilisation of tour time to explore places Cons : B&B Hotel at Paris was a complete let down. Rooms were okay but hotel staff were obnoxious. On asking for a hair dryer, I was asked to submit my Passport. Come on! Your passport for a £10 hairdryer. I think the Expat team should seriously reconsider booking again with them. Swiss dinner was another disaster .It costed us 25 swiss francs and was not at all worth it. Please include the optionals in the tour itinerary as it gives a false sense of affordability excluding them. Perci, our team leader was great but I think he should have introduced people in the group. I easily gel up with people so never had an issue but its always better to know the group from day one. Overall, a good experience and would definitely consider booking again with the expat team.
