What people love about Europe Tours in February
- European Encounter (Winter, Start London, Classic)
Overall an excellent tour that covers a lot of ground in a short amount of time. Learned a lot, saw a lot and experienced a lot.
- Genuine Europe (40 destinations)
Very good trip. The guides and the company did a good job with the ever changing COVID restrictions.
- Europe Jewel
This tour was fantastic, exactly what I thought I was signing up for. A lot of driving time but this allowed for us to be able to see so many different countries. The itinerary was very organized and the chosen activities were appropriate and entertaining. The accommodations were clean and a decent size for the price of the tour and most had wifi which was a nice bonus. A big shout out to Holly our tour leader, she was enthusiastic, fun and knowledgable. I would definitely reccommend this tour and expat explore to friends and family.
