I love to make the most out of my trips so getting up early and go go go see everything I can in a small amount of time is my kind of adventure. My one piece of advice is to at LEAST do the ""Pairs Plus"" and the ""Jungfraujoch"" (the Alps in Switzerland) options. I know it is a lot of money but definitely 100% worth it, and you came all that way. I have to give a huge shout out to Bobby our driver he made the trip for many of us with this sense of humour. The only con that I had for the entire trip was the river rhine cruise in Germany. We drove along the river while our tour guide Steve told us all about the buildings, castles and the story of Lorelei. We then got on the cruise down the same river in the opposite direction and saw everything all over again. I as well as many others in our group thought that it would have been time better spent to stop in little towns all the way to our hotel and experience Germany. But all in all, it was a Fantastic trip.
I toured with Firo Borges and Ivo Fernando and they make a spectacular team (believe me). They provided a great balance of group and independent sight seeing and offered excellent advice when it came to saving costs while touring. Organization was spot on and excellent - never had any problems anywhere throughout the trip. The guides were excellent in being flexible if we couldn't make it somewhere on time (very seamless travel). They also made sure that everyone on the group make connections with each other and we really became a family. Anyone who travels with them is in for a fantastic adventure and you won't regret it one bit! Schedules were posted in advance and menus for meals went around beforehand. We usually ended our nights on 9 pm and began at 6:45 a.m - the time is enough for you to sleep while travelling back to back! I recommend this tour and these two tour guides specifically to everyone! I will definitely do it again. Had a total blast!
This tour is fast-paced but if you're up for it it's absolutely worth it. We had the chance to see and do so much. The optional excursions were great. Both our tour guide and driver were very nice and knowledgable. I will definitely be looking forward to my next expat explore tour.
It has been a delightful experience! Our tour guide Firo and Ivo our driver have been amazing! It's the perfect duo for a fun, safe and amazing experience. My family and I have enjoyed it and would definitely book again with Expat for another wonderful experience!
We went as a couple, and this was our first trip with Expat. Pleasantly surprised with the organisation of the entire trip, and the comfort of the coach. Our tour leader Steve did amazing work, such a great storyteller,our driver Alex made sure we had a smooth ride and an undisturbed sleep :D.
Our experience as first time travellers with Expat Explore was amazing. My husband and I have only positive words for the service performed both by our tour guide Steve and Our coach driver, Alex. Steve was so knowledgeable of the.history of each of the countries we visited. He was so pleasant and we were so engaged listening to him tell the story of the country. The trivias, tips, and at one point story telling we're all so helpful. Very calm and organize guy. Alex was so friendly, helpful and caring too to us travellers. Expat Explore you did not disappoint us.
Alex our driver was amazing, great personality and exceptional driving skills. Steve was very easy going and his knowledge on the history of each place was exceptional, I learnt a lot! It's a jam packed tour and you see only a very small amount of each location given the nature of the itinerary. Jungfrau is an ABSOLUTE MUST DO! It was the true highlight of the tour by far! Long days of sitting on the bus and a tight schedule makes it a perfect tour for the time poor who want to see multiple European countries
It was a different experience from others because of Christmas Holidays timing. I am fully satisfied with Steve as our tour leader. He led us on being respectful, courteous and friendly. Alex is a jolly, optimistic bus operator. Full of energy and always prepared for the next task. Alex and Steve are great team together. I trust them both..
The whole experience was awesome, this was our first expat tour and I really enjoyed the whole experience. Loved everything, don't regret anything, It was unforgettable! Thank you for putting such a beautiful itinerary together. The accommodation in Paris was a bit poor, room was really tiny, no space to open the bags. Very hot, and breakfast area extremely hot. They were not ready to accommodate our group, not enough plates or cups. On the last day, some unused cutlery was left on one table and because I could not find a person to assist (waiter or someone in charge not visible at all during both breakfasts to help guests) I took cutlery and rinsed it myself in bar area!! All the other hotels were absolutely beautiful, spacious and comfortable. Food served in Switzerland was very good.
A fun experience that everyone should have, see how christmas looks like outside home, expand your outlook in life.
