Am 3/4 of the way through a 2 week Europe Christmas trip and would highly recommend Expat Explore. Our tour leader is awesome, organised, friendly and knowledgeable, and our driver is amazing and such a safe driver. All of the accommodation and meals were good.
Jaimee M
Just finished the European Highlights tour, what an absolutely amazing experience! The tour leadr and driver were phenomenal, and they truly made a difference on this trip. We experienced so much in such a short time, and it was simply perfect. All of the countries, landmarks, and experiences were amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better trip! Thank you so much Expat. I recommend this trip highly!

Amazing value, efficiently see many sights. Enjoy the clean and comfortable coach. Frequent bathroom and snack stops. The tour leader was an amazing guide and our driver kept us safe. Food was terrific, excursions were fun. We laughed, we walked, we met new friends, and we got to enjoy new cultures. Can’t say enough, can’t wait to take the next tour! We recommend to everyone!

I really enjoyed this Taste of Spain tour. This was my first time out of the country and I was so scared but I couldn’t have picked a better group of people. I recommend Expat Explore to anyone who is travelling overseas for the first time. I’m definitely going to be travelling with you all again.

My daughter and I finally went on the 14 day Classic Europe tour after waiting 2 years. Amazing isn’t a good enough word. Our tour guide made it worth every penny. This tour is a must have.
