    Flights / Transfers
    Price / Availability
    • Travel Chasers formerly Expat ExploreOperator•Written March 2024

      Whilst internal flights are covered for certain itineraries, you will have to make your way to the meeting point for the start of your tour. When booking flights be mindful of departure times and possible delays.
      Tip: We suggest that you start comparing prices the moment your deposit is paid to avoid costly flights.

    Hannah

    Asked on March 18th, 2024

    Are young children allowed?

    Age Range
    • Travel Chasers formerly Expat ExploreOperator•Written March 2024

      We have a set minimum age of 10 for our tours, but we're happy to consider younger children on a case-by-case basis. Just let us know your request, and we'll do our best to accommodate it. Expat Explore reserves the right to accept or decline the request at our discretion. We want to ensure everyone has a great time exploring with us!

    Carole

    Asked on March 18th, 2024

    Can you cater for my dietary requirements?

    Meals
    • Travel Chasers formerly Expat ExploreOperator•Written March 2024

      We make every effort to include local cuisine on our tours to ensure an authentic experience for you. You'll receive an email before the tour begins, where we'll ask for your dietary preferences. We always have a vegetarian option, and we'll work hard to accommodate any other dietary needs or preferences you may have.

    Christine

    Asked on March 18th, 2024

    Do I need to exchange cash before I leave?

    Payments
    • Travel Chasers formerly Expat ExploreOperator•Written March 2024

      Contactless payment is widely accepted across Europe – it’s best to bring a payment card with no overseas withdrawal fees.
      * Keep in mind that certain optionals are payable in cash to your tour leader whilst on tour. We suggest that you talk to your Tour Leader about when & where to draw cash to pay for the optional excursions.

  • A

    Anthony

    Asked on March 18th, 2024

    If I wish to stay longer in the start or end destination, will Expat Explore assist with pre/post-tour accommodation?

    Accommodation
    Travel Support
    • Travel Chasers formerly Expat ExploreOperator•Written March 2024

      While Expat Explore cannot assist with booking pre or post-tour accommodation, we recommend Booking.com for affordable accommodation options prior to and after the tour. If hotel information is available, we can provide you with the details in advance so that you can book accommodation at or nearby the start hotel. Please request this by sending a message through on the conversation page.

  • K

    Kerry

    Asked on March 18th, 2024

    Can Expat Explore issue me with a visa?

    Visa
    • Travel Chasers formerly Expat ExploreOperator•Written March 2024

      While Expat Explore endeavours to stay current on all major entry requirements, we are not a registered visa agent. We are, however, able to make things a little easier by providing you with the required supporting documents for a visa application once your tour is paid in full. It is a requirement of the embassies that tours are paid for in full before visa support documentation is requested and applications are made. When you have made the final payment for your booking, simply reach out to our Customer Support Team to request your visa support documents and confirm which embassy you will be applying to.

    Other
    Price / Availability
    • Travel Chasers formerly Expat ExploreOperator•Written March 2024

      This is up to you and will vary depending on how much you wish to spend on snacks, drinks, souvenirs etc. We do not include entrance fees to attractions and museums. We do, however, provide you with free time to see everything you want, and our tour leaders will have all the information on pricing and locations so you can manage your own budget. Please refer to your tour-specific pre-departure information and optional excursions guide for further details.

    Amy

    Asked on March 18th, 2024

    Is travel insurance compulsory?

    Travel Support
    • Travel Chasers formerly Expat ExploreOperator•Written March 2024

      It's your responsibility to arrange sufficient travel insurance for your trip. When you travel with Expat Explore, both you and your personal belongings do so at your own risk. A comprehensive insurance policy should cover medical expenses for illness or accidents before or during the holiday, as well as reimbursement for lost holiday funds due to cancellation, curtailment, or other insurable events. Make sure there are no exclusions that would limit coverage for the activities included in your tour.

      We generally recommend WorldNomads because they cover a wide variety of nationalities, but you are welcome to use any supplier that offers you the most comprehensive plan.

      You are able to obtain travel insurance through one of TourRadars partners, XCover. Please reach out to receive a quote.

  • L

    Lydia

    Asked on March 18th, 2024

    How fit do I need to be to join and what is the average age range?

    Age Range
    • Travel Chasers formerly Expat ExploreOperator•Written March 2024

      We embrace travelers of all ages and backgrounds, prioritizing attitude and mindset over age restrictions. However, our tours are fast-paced and jam-packed with experiences. Regrettably, individuals with mobility limitations or those using wheelchairs may find this tour challenging. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for exploring quaint towns and navigating cobblestone streets. We want every traveler to fully enjoy their journey, so we encourage reviewing the itinerary carefully before making your booking decision.

  • V

    Vicki

    Asked on March 18th, 2024

    If I book a tour for two or more people, will we share the same room?

    Accommodation
    • Travel Chasers formerly Expat ExploreOperator•Written March 2024

      When you book for more than one person, we will by default group you together in the same room(s), unless you request single supplements or specifically request us not to.

      If there are unequal numbers (3, 5, 7 etc.) then the remaining traveller will be roomed with another passenger of the same gender, unless you opt to add a single supplement (subject to availability) to your booking. Please note that minors under the age of 18 cannot share with another traveller outside of your group's booking.

      If you are making separate bookings and would like to share the same room(s), please send us an email with the booking references for each of the travellers and the details of your preferred rooming allocation.
