The tour was everything I had hoped for, and much more! Our tour leader (Kevin) was like a walking, talking encyclopaedia - he knew everything about the history of all the countries and the places we visited. He ensured that we were always entertained (with games, music and quizzes) on the long road trips, and he never missed anyone's birthday either! Excellent tour leader! You would have undoubtedly read other reviews about how demanding this tour (Europe Escape) is, but let me explain further: You have to get dressed by 6:30am, finish breakfast by 7am and get bags on the coach and ready for departure by 7:15am on most days. The included day tours require extensive walking and on most nights we get to bed by 10:30/11pm. It really is a demanding tour, but worth every penny! For me, the highlights of this tour were - the cathedral of Notre Dame in France, the Colosseum tour in Italy, the Vatican city, Jungfrau in Switzerland, Innsbruck in Austria and Bruges in Belgium.

Tour bus was old. Only liquids in toilet. Seats were old back ache after long hours of sitting. Carly tour leader was strict. Had to rotate seats. Couldn't sit with friends. Hotels were awful including tiny rooms. Two and three star. Left tour after five days. Get what you pay for. Tourradar should have told me Expat was a low budget outfit.

(Inside joke) I will definitely use Expat Explorer again and will recommend to others! Complete value for your money! Thank you for an unforgettable 12 days!

Should I book pre/post tour accommodation?
