France 13-Day Tours and Trips

Looking back, this trip feels like a blur of motion, moments, and meaning. It’s incredible how much you can see, feel, and grow in just 13 days. The pace was intense but fulfilling. Every day offered something new and I loved that. What stayed with me most wasn’t just the places we visited, but the mindset our CEO Cosimo encouraged: to stay curious, be present, and say yes to as much as possible. I came home tired but grateful for the experiences, the people, and the reminder of how alive travel can make you feel.

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.

This trip covered many areas of France. My favorites were the Beaches of Normandy and Omaha. I wish the museum in Caan could’ve been included. Touring Paris was beautiful, especially Notre Dame Cathedral, Seine River trip, Eiffel Tower at night, and the Moulin Rouge show was fantabulous! Our tour guide, was so informative, as were the other Guides, made it more interesting yet. We had the best coach driver. He was so caring.

Very active and rigorous schedule but well worth it! Start getting in shape before so you are ready to climb, explore and soak up the best of France! Truly a memorable experience. Our guide and our driver were exceptional!! Would do it again!

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.
