From the moment we were picked up to the moment we were dropped off it felt like we were in capable hands. We had plenty of time at each of the stops on tour and when we opted out of some optionals to go see something not on the tour, our tour leader helped us navigate those as well. Coach was very comfortable as were the hotels. Tour leader Lee was the BEST tour leader we could have ever asked for. He helped history come alive for us and was also hilarious! We definitely plan on taking another trip with expat and our only hope is to get Lee as a tour leader again. Until next time!
This tour exceeded expectations a million times over. Packed with interesting history, stunning views, and loads of forever memory making moments. Be prepared to fall in love with places, people, and cultures!
As a first time tour trip, I was blown away. Lee and Chris are incredible. Chris is a master driver and Lee is the most amazing storyteller and guide. We ended up just loving every day. The tour was seemless land we were able to relax and enjoy Scotland, Wales and Bath in particular.
We had the chance to explore all of GBTOUR and with our tour leader and driver our experience was beyond amazing! Chris drives like a champion driver and his courtesy is all England! Lee, you have a spirit and heart for leading tours. We feel in love with Scotland thanks to you! Your stories and history were amazing and beautiful. We will stay in touch and hope we can do another tour with you! Thank you both for a wonderful experience!
Highly recommended.
This was a fantastic tour, 10 out of 10 it hit all the highlights in a short amount of time Fantastic work Lee, thanks for all your hard work, and Chris too with your driving skills,
Every day was wonderful and an amazing trip worth every penny. Lee, our tour guide, was extremely friendly, helpful, and cheeky. He made us laugh a lot and helped me pick out a spot to propose to my future wife!
Short week but was able to cover so much! Having such a knowledgeable and passionate tour leader topped it all off! If you enjoy history and the authentic experience this tour is just that. Couldn't recommend this more!
Very personable and knowledgeable tour guide, food and accommodations were excellent, this trip was absolutely magical for me. It was my 40th birthday and I was engaged on this tour- our tour guide Lee and driver Chris helped to orchestrate the special surprise engagement with my fiance! Such a wonderful crew!!
Thanks to Lee for his extensive knowledge on the United Kingdom. We learned new things that only a local person would know, and we laughed at the stories as you broadened our perspective.. You have such a great heart. All the great memories will be a blessing. Thank you to all the travellers who also enlightened our experiences. Our driver, Chris, is top-notch and always had our safety in mind. Such a great guy.
Had a super amazing experience. Our tour leader, Mike Thoms, was very knowledgeable, upbeat, organized and looked after our group thoroughly. Our coach driver, Russell, ensured we had a smooth and safe experience. It was a very enjoyable and memorable experience. Will travel again with Expat Explore.
Just simply amazing
Excellent tour. The tour guide Peter M. Was very knowledgeable, compassionate, professional and patient. Our driver, Minty rock.
I really enjoyed this Tour around GB. I had the Best Tour Leader Pauline and Driver Craig, they were so helpful and keep us inform with the history of where we were going. A great tour.
Thanks to Pauline we all had a wonderful time exploring the UK.
Well organized trip with a great Tour guide!! Best way to see loads of sights in a very short period of time.
Well structured and organised.
We had such a wonderful experience on our Great Britain tour with Pete and Tony. We saw real Bucket List items around England and Scotland. So much in seven days! Great full breakfasts.
I enjoyed every minute of the tour. It was a great experience with Peter W and Minty traveling all over the UK. I would definitely recommend Expat to my friends and family. Will definitely be booking another trip soon. Thank you for everything!
A lot covered in this fantastic tour as we expected. Early Starts are also what we expected but most days you don't arrive to your accommodation until 6:30-7:00pm, then you are given 30minutes to prepare for dinner. Free time could be up to 3hrs in certain stops, something that could be reduce, allowing time out at the hotel for a little R & R. If your looking at doing extra activities offered, bring cash as card payment is not an option. You will be told to change seats. For couples expect to be sleeping in single beds.
Loads to experience, but full-on, so ensure you're in good shape
Starting with the positive, we very much enjoyed having Lee Carrick as our tour guide. His enthusiasm, good humor and wealth of knowledge made the trip enjoyable. A shout out as well to Tone for being a skilled bus driver in demanding circumstances. We saw a lot in a short amount of time. A group tour will always be a mixed experience. Be prepared to spend the week with a group of strangers, long bus rides and uneven lodging and restaurant venues.
Lee was a fabulous tour guide! He understood the area very well and let us know all the best spots to eat and drink. Were given lots of advice and options of alternatives to excursions. Tony drove our bus around some pretty tight areas in the older narrow streets. Thank you for a wonderful week of travel!
It was really an wonderful and amazing experience. The tour leader Mr. Peter Woodman was a fantastic leader that has done his best to satisfy all the wishes of travelers. The selection of places, attractions and locations to be visited were fantastic and in a very short time i.e 7 days you could visit almost the major part of GBTOUR, which you cannot do in ypour own for such price. The hotels selected by Eexpat Explorer were really good. The coach driver Tony was a very good driver, patient and also supportive for any question. We have been really lucky to choose Expat Explorer for visiting UK
Great choices of tour destination. Lee Carrick is the best, very organized,accommodating and friendly
Traveling up the north was excellent and very enjoyable. Stop-over selection was really nice. We enjoyed the first five days a lot. Last 2 days while traveling back was good but not very exciting. Overall it was a good experience!
Lee (tour lead) and Craig (driver) made a great team. Always supportive to the guests on board. They made us feel safe and comfortable. Lee especially went beyond expectations in resolving items left behind in hotel, even after tour finished. Their combined knowledge and recommendations were exceptional. Even in emergency situations, they were quick to act and showed compassion and empathy. If this is an example of Expat's team. I will definitely join another tour. Thanks Lee and Craig for making this a memorable special vacation.
This was my first time in an Expat tour and also first time by myself so it was a really wonderful and positive experience to have Lee as our leader and Craig as your safekeeper. Lee was aware of everyone and made sure that all of us felt safe and comfortable in the bus, at the hotel or during the experiences. I'll gladly take another Expat tour.
I had a very good experience with this tour, guide and driver were top notch and I would travel with this company again.
Tour leader was friendly and fun. Coach driver was amazing. Sites were fantastic.
Guide and driver were the best! Excellent tour and fun interesting people aboard.
I have always wanted to visit the UK and my dreams of doing so became reality! The countryside of Scotland and England were everything I hoped they would be and more. Our tour was so much fun and Craig, Lee and the other tour mates just made it that much better! Would highly recommend this tour!
Everything was so great. Lee the tour leader was fun, funny, and very informative. Craig our driver was an amazing driver and was also very informative and fun. We got to see and do so much. Well 100% be doing another tour with expact
Seven fun filled days with Pauline Butler and a bus of people from all over the world. Craig our driver was exceptional as was Pauline, I wish I could give them 6 stars!
Being our first bus tour ever, hands down the best experience I've ever experienced. The driver Craig is a master at what he does. Lee our tour guide made our experience so comfortable & with funny stories. Between the both of them they have certainly set the bar very high.
Includes all major attractions
Our tour was nothing short of exciting and wonderful. I loved exploring history having a well rounded, knowledgeable tour guide by my side. Lee & Craig showed a genuine caring & understanding for our wants and needs; I am extremely satisfied with how the last week went. Through ups & downs they kept us positive & motivated. I would definitely recommend this trip to future tourists, friends & family!
This is our 3 rd tour with these guys, all in Europe. The time is well planned out and packed with highlites. Good optional tours if you choose also. Our guide Pauline and driver Craig were excellent, professional and very personable and laid back. Will book with them again.
