Holland Tours in December 2026

Where do I start? The optional stuff? 10/10 - so many recommendations from our amazing trip leader that it felt so easy to make a decision on where to go. The vibes? 10/10 - amazing people, amazing crew, great way to make friends, excellent way to feel safe when seeing Europe for the first time and best possible way to get around. Loved that at any point during the trip, you could always strike up a conversation with anyone including TopDeck Crew. The sights? 100/10 - Europe is absolutely beautiful in Winter, and even better when you can share a mulled wine with good company. The length 5/10 - Just enough time to have the time of your life, make life long friends and start planning your next trip!

Far too many things crammed into a day. Tour guide smokers and bus drivers made us feel sick . Smoked outside the bus, but they smelled in clothing when they got back in the bus.not pleasant for non smokers . English for some guides not great. Many very sick people on our bus. I said to Monserat that her duty of care for the whole bus means she must address sick persons to place a mask on their faces to protect others.by the end of the tour many people had contracted illnesses. Less places would have meant one could explore a little more leisurely , not rush to get back on a bus to move on .

We had a really good experience on the Zaanse Schans tour with Derek and Pieter. The tour operator were very friendly and organised when getting us signed in at the meeting point, the tour bus had decent space and good AC. Derek was very knowledgeable and spoke at a good pace, so we learnt quite a lot on the trip. Our tour was done in English and Spanish (even the Delft factory has Spanish audio guides). There was a lot to see so not much time for photo stops but plenty of toilet breaks throughout.

Such a fun trip; our tour leader Kriszti was amazing and very knowledgeable, always providing great local recommendations. Accommodation was fantastic and we had so much free time in each location to do our own thing. Would book again in a heartbeat

The tour operator planned what would have been a very challenging itinerary to pull off solo, with probably a couple too many places to visit, and executed absolutely wonderfully. Seamless, low maintenance and highly helpful - be on time where asked, use the resources/insight from the tour guide, and make the most of your free time. Exploring Europe became that simple, leaving all other moments to absorb and experience. I've never so clearly remembered details from a vacation before. The operator is a great way to take the stress out of seeing a new place. Aaron, our tour guide, and Rocket, our coach driver, truly enhanced the experience with their knowledge, expert planning, humor and cameraderie. I'll definitely be traveling with Expat again in the hopefully not so distant future.

I was disappointed that we wernt told our tour group would change. I dont believe children should be allowed on this kind of tour as it was unfair on the other passengers to listen to screaming children and babies on long bus rides. People who are late need to be given a more decent talking to as the same couples were always late to the bus always putting us behind schedule
