Northern Explorer

A tour group filled with fun and excitement! From andjela (dynamic tour director) victor (on the go driver)!!! As they always say second time is a charm! Thank you expat explore for the worthwhile experience!

The tour as for myself is very enjoyable,seeing places which i havent gone yet, comfortable coach with good driver.added to it is our super tour manager very tolerant to our group..funny with unending stories ..very caring woman..Andjela..

I had a good time on this tour. Driver Victor and tour Leader Andji worked very hard to make it an enjoyable experience for all the travellers. We had about 30 people on a 50 person bus, so lots of room for everybody. A lot of people (myself also at the beginning) had the impression that the tour was tightly scripted, with attractions set up on a schedule, and time to see most of the attractions in the cities we travelled to. That's not really the case at all. This is a ""taste"" of Scandinavia and the Baltics...really, if you expect to see 10 countries in 18 days, how much time can you spend in any one place? There's a lot of time spent on the bus travelling from city to city...and under EU law, the bus has to take regular stops every few hours, many of which are at highway rest stops and other such places. So you are not going to spend all that much time touring places like Helsinki, Riga, Vilnius or Berlin...remember, you are covering 5,000 kilometers in two and a half weeks. The tour should best be understood as an ""introduction"" to Scandinavia and the Baltics....a taste of what there is, so you can decide which places you want to come back to, and do in more detail. It's a ""survey course"". I saw a lot of great places and made lots of friends. I found several countries (Norway, Sweden, Estonia) that I plan on visiting again in 2024/2025, but in more detail, spending two weeks in each one, rather than a couple of days. It seems like I am complaining but I am not; this is a great tour, we saw a lot in a very short time, and you simply cannot beat the price. Hotels vary in quality from two to four star...the good ones like the Radissons/Hiltons cost about 300 Euros a night (In asked the front desk) so Expat is getting some serious volume group rate discounts here. The poorer ones are clean and good to sleep in for a night, just don't expect fancy linens, room service, or swimming pools. Overall a great tour. I will use Expat again!

It was an amazing experience. Despite very minor hiccups Angela and Victor were awesome. The tour was prepared with great thought and value for persons who want to explore Europe .

Beautiful tour. Well planned and organized. Our tour leader Andjela was the best thing of this tour. Always happy, never got upset with anyone. She took an excellent care of 35 grown up people (up to 82) with ease. Treated us with such care and love that we really enjoyed our trip. I have been before with Expat but Andjela is your best asset. Victor, the driver , kept us safe. He complied with all the regulations and never had a problem on his end. He was kind, caring and loved and respected everyone. We definitely will come back to travel with Andjela and Victor. Tour guide and driver are the best assets of Expat. They can make or break a true travel experience. I'm happy that we had such wonderful people on the group. See you on another trip Expat.

Thank you to our tour leader Andjela and our coach driver Victor. Both professional at its finest! The tour is amazing! Did meet my expectations! I enjoyed the group tour/travel as it's my first time to join as such as I always travel on my own. The next tour with Expat is definitely on the agenda! Thank you once again to Andjela and Victor, very much appreciated!

One of the best holidays I have had with Expat Explore. The tour guide Andjela and the driver Victor were excellent.

It was a big surprise (you expect a lot of Scandinavia and it is beautiful) but my highlight were Baltic states. People are amazing and so is their history. Andjela was the most caring guide, she is organized and caring, delivered some amazing stories and informations. Victor was a very good driver, focused all the time.

Amazing experience, Great guide and driver teamwork !!

The tour is very fast paced. If you want to see a lot of countries in a short period of time then this is your tour. There is a lot of walking and the bus rides can be long. Be prepared to pack and go. Branden our tour leader is good. He kept us on time and the tour is well organized.

The tour was wonderful and an amazing value. 10 countries in 18 days was a whirlwind, but well worth it.

The tour provided a very comprehensive coverage of Northern Europe and allowed us to see all the key sights.

Overall the tour delivered on our expectations. This was our second Expat tour. Our guide (Aaron) and driver (Gabriel) were just terrific! Both professional and congenial and punctual and everything one would want in a guide and driver. :-) This tour was an amazing way to get a taste of ten countries. We left with a solid appreciation of everything we experienced and have a good idea of places we might like to return to if time and $$$ permit!

I really enjoyed visiting and learning about all the cities and countries we visited. It would be nice to spend two or three days at each city. I learned enough to decide where I want to revisit.

Must see countries

This is a relatively relaxing tour compared to other Expat tours that we had. Of course there's a lot of walking involved like in many tour groups but getting to the key cities required long driving which gave us enough rest between cities and the road trip (and ferry rides) were very comfortable. And we visited small cities in between… The Scandinavian and Baltic cities visited were all gems! A lot of checks in my bucket list! There were good amounts of free time. Hotels in general were very good but a few were far from city center… Our tour leader Aaron was very efficient and fun to talk with. Gabriel was an excellent driver too. All in all, EN is worth it! We are very happy we embarked on this tour with Expat Explore!

I have been wanting to join one of EE tours for some years and finally this years, I could. We joined the EN Tour and we both enjoyed the experiences. Everything was professionally arranged, immaculate! I can see the team's effort there, not only from our TL and our driver, but also from the operational team (behind the scene team); from the condition of the bus (perfectly clean, all foot rests were working, AC, reclining function, rubbish bags always provided, no smell, etc); from the engaging experiences delivered by the program itself (as it offers some included meals, which helps the participants to know each other better); the marketing effort that embrace us trying to make us to be part of the EE family (such as the social media group); the thought put into making the itinerary was awesome! Together, all EE team makes and delivers this exceptionally excellent experience to us. Unforgettable. Thank you so much! Hope we can have other great memories with you again!

Good ovrerall

all the places was great. I am going to do this again. as a matter of fact i have booked another tour for this October.

The tour was well organised and we felt safe all the way, as Evo was a fantastic driver with a professional, respectful and kind attitude. It is a long tour over 18 days, but the group spirit was good all along. We had good experiences in the countries and cities we visited. The hotels were mostly good except for the summer heat without air conditioning in some. We appreciate the changes you made to the tour due to the war and we enjoyed Oslo. Our 2nd tour guide from Berlin for the last 3 days was excellent (her name was something like Krizti)
