Holland Tours in January 2027

Positives: Our guide Dioni was amazing She was very friendly and provided us great information, she even went out of her way to take us to the famous perfume store in Cologne. She made the trip such a positive experience. I really enjoyed the cruises organised for us and was happy that we were given a local guide in each city. I enjoyed the tours around the cities, and also loved attending the concert in Vienna optional activity, and the cheese factory in Amsterdam. Overall I really enjoyed the trip and felt it was a great way to travel around Europe and see the major sites in the cities we visited. The bus was very comfortable. Negatives: Our other guide Monsie was quite cold and disengaged. I believe she told a fellow passenger to go away when they asked her a question. Monsie also left a passenger behind on a day trip as he was not at the bus on time. She did not tell us there was wifi on the bus. However, she did provide good information. I was disappointed that not all the optional activities listed on the website were available. I also felt that the quality of the hotels differed a lot. Some were really nice and others were small airport hotels far away from the main city. I wish we could have had longer in each city, it was quite rushed.

The tour guide Eva was fantastic and I found Rene Guia both enthusiastic and caring. noting that he took extra care with our disabled tour members, he was quick to learn all our names and took an interest in each of us.he also went out of his way to arrange for us to see Moulin Rouge I found Patricia very difficult to understand and not helpful. It was difficult in Paris when half the bus tour members were in another hotel over an hour away from the other hotel, wasting the limited time that we had in the city. It was also sad and many of the people on the bus were upset as we didnt get to see the Eiffel tower at night.

Peter did a great job of keeping us all on track and getting us where we needed to go. And boy did we go! Busy tour seeing as many sights as we could fit in - needless to say most days were filled with different activities and really kept us hopping. Jumping on trains, carrying luggage over cobblestones and up and down stairs, and walking tours of some of the most exciting cities in Europe. The hotels we stayed at were lovely and the optional excursions really added to the experience.

The tour was so much fun! We have seen so much countries and cities in such a short period of time. What an experience being on top of Europe - Swiss Alps! Seeing the Eiffel Tower was magical! The Rhine River was just beautiful. Prague was unreal. I felt rich watching the Vienna classical concert. The wooden windmills of Amsterdam and the cheese and clogs creation were an added bonus to the experience. Endless fun to mention. Our tour leader Jemma was genuinely warm and friendly which made our tour extra special. I will definitely travel with Expat Explore again. The only thing to mention was the inability to pay for excursions using a simple debit or credit card payment. Other than that, I 100% recommend Expat Explore Tour for an unbelievable fun experience.

Our 14-day Jewel of Europe trip was nothing short of spectacular! Jemma, our tour leader, and Florin, our driver, were exceptional. The Swiss Alps on New Year's Day was undoubtedly a highlight of the trip. All the hotels, we had comfortable stays, and each restaurant visit gave us a decent taste of each country. The optional excursions were totally worth it as well.

Would have never travelled as much and efficiently without the help of expat. 11 countries in 2 weeks is a crazy and awesome experience. Had a pleasant time with our tour group. I have done trips with other traveling companies before but so far Expat is my favorite.
