France 13-Day Tours and Trips

Many highlights every day. A taste of Europe.Days are long often starting 7am on bus, ending after 8 pm. Tiring but worth it for a 70 yr old. Very, very well organized and timed.. Highly recommend.

Overall the itenary was good and well planned but there was a communication misunderstanding on the pre tour day which led us to use the metro in paris and the taxi from one hotel to the other. Veronica was a good guide and Gabriella was awesome we regret she had to leave for her holidays and then Pedro was calm and informative too in Italy. Venice was flooded and Rome was not well planned. The tour was nice and tiring

It’s a good well rounded excursion around France and there’s a lot to see. Liked the tour and the hotels and the driver and tour director, very helpful and friendly. However the tour is reliant on people being active for all the walking trips and sometimes some people who are on the tour are not - my sister is disabled and found all the walking, especially on cobbles and up/down stairs with no handrails, rather difficult. Sometimes no alternative given but to get off the coach and do the walk regardless.

Had the best time on this tour exploring some very cool places! Such an awesome group of people I was on tour with. Brando our tour leader was brilliant with all aspects of tour organisation and a wealth of history knowledge. Victor our driver was lovely, and fantastic at getting around some very tricky roads. Didn't want it to end! Highly recommend.

Gustavo was incredible. His knowledge on each country and his experiences were obvious as he guided us through. Honestly such a legend and deserves a massive thank you and appreciation.

This was the best way for someone who has never traveled to Europe before to experience the beauty and wonders to be found on this continent. Having everything planned out and taken care of for you made everything so easy and stress free! You just show up and enjoy everything there is to offer. Our tour leader, Steve, was in a word, magnificent! Extremely knowledgeable about the histories and cultures of all the places we visited as well as patient, kind and very helpful! Our coach driver, Ivo, did an amazing job navigating us all across Europe. That guy can really drive!! He did an excellent job and got us everywhere we needed to go quickly and safely. He was always very pleasant and greeted you with a smile and asked how your day was going. The itinerary, while extremely packed and sometimes exhausting, it was amazing to be able to fit in as much as we did on this trip! It felt like we managed to do as much as you would do in a whole month in a matter of 14 days. The hotels were all nice, especially the Alpenrose in Switzerland. That hotel was so charming and gorgeous and you could not beat the views of the Swiss Alps just outside your window. The optional excursions were all really fun and engaging and added an immense amount of value to the tour. We went on just about every optional that was offered on this tour and we loved them all! Especially Jungfraujoch, which was an absolutely amazing once in a lifetime experience. We will definitely recommend Expat to others and will definitely be using them again sometime in the future.
