France Tours in December 2025

Overall the trip was very nice with lots to see and experience. It was very fast paced but that is the nature of these types of tours. There was some lack of communication on some days regarding the itinerary changes and start of free time at some cities. For example on day 7 in Zurich we were suppose to walk on a suspended bridge on the mountain but this did not happen. On Day 10 in Rome there was no indication of when the free time would start. I did try asking a few days before hand but did not get an answer. This can be an issue because for certain attractions, you have to get tickets a few days ahead of time and it is difficult to do that when you dont have a notion of when the free time to explore the city will start. The Guides were all very good and friendly, especial shout out to Isolda Shakira and Raid. Finally the Hotel in KITZBUHEL was beautiful but for some reason there were flies in the restaurant area which made for an unpleasant experience when eating the dinner and breakfast. The hotel in BUDAPEST was the best of all. One thing that could improve the experience is for Europamundo to send notifications to remind travelers to get tickets for certain attractions well ahead of time. For example, a few days before heading to Rome, send a notifications to travelers to book any tickets for the attractions they want to see during their free time. This would make the experience less stressful.

Corsica was more mountainous and greener than expected. A good range of walks. Not too challenging for regular hill walkers and we considered it well pitched as moderate. The hotel is basic but functional and the dinners were very tasty. Enjoyed using trains to get to the start of most of our walks.

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!

The trip in general was great However there were places that we visited that we found not worth the hours we spent there and there were places that we should have stayed longer but were allowed only 1.5- 2 hours only including the time for lunch/dinner. Longer time should be spent on main attractions.

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!
