The best way to see the UK
This was my first ever coach tour. I was very nervous about what to expect but all of my expectations were put at ease from the moment I met our guide Peter W. He was super knowledgeable about the history and every place we stopped. He and our bus driver Rob were absolutely perfect. Both of their energies were always positive and even though we had early mornings and late nights they always had a smile. I will definitely be booking many tours in the future with Expat. Thank you Tour Master Peter and Coach Master Rob for an amazing adventure that I will be talking about for ages.

Super, amazing, & wonderful!
This tour was everything I could ask for! I wanted to spend my 40th birthday in the UK, it's my favorite place to visit so I invited 3 other friends. We all loved the tour! Our guide Peter W was so helpful, patient, & sincere! He was re-titled our Tour Master & Rob, the driver was re-titled Coach Master & has superb driving skills. Rob was very sweet, humble, & genuine! Hotels were good but some didn't have air conditioning, while we were on the tour it was warm, dare I say warmer than usual but it was nice the Sun was out & it was cool in the evenings. If its warm some hotels provided fans. The itinerary was perfect for me too, we went to places I never knew about & wouldn't think to visit. The countries have so much history, lovely scenery, cute homes, & I loved the drives in the countryside. If you didn't get cash Barclay's & HSBC don't charge an international transaction fee, helpful tip from our Tour Master Peter! I will absolutely do another tour with Expat if I can have the sam
