      For us to ensure that the information is provided, may we request that you send the information request through the confirmed booking's message feature?

  • K

    Kimberly

    Asked on March 8th, 2025

    Tour Details
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten March 2025

      At this stage, the departure is too far in advance for us to give you a confirmed hotel name. Hotels are subject to change, we do not provide inaccurate information beforehand. We suggest reaching out roughly 90 days prior for this information. The tour leader will be the one to advise customers on where to meet up after watching the parade.

  • S

    Sarah

    Asked on August 13th, 2024

    Is there an option to add on additional nights stay at the end of the tour and have a return airport transfer on a different day?

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten August 2024

      Unfortunately, we can no longer assist with booking pre/post accommodation and transfers. We recommend Booking.com for accommodation and Welcome Pickups or Rome2Rio for transfers.
