    Hello, This was our first bus trip in quite some time and we did enjoy it and we saw a lot. Some of the hotels were not that great and I would pay a little more knowing that the hotels were of higher grade. I do see now that you stipulate that they can range from 2 to 4 starts. The food was just okay and some of the options were not explained well. For example: One was outlined as a beef option that was stew like and was covered it cheese - it was shepherd's pie (ground beef) covered in mashed potato. A cheese cake option came out at a long sliver of cheese. The optionals could be explained a little better up front. For example: The evening in Montmartre for 50 euro did not include your transporation to get there if you did not go on the day time optional. This information was not fully understook until we got closer to the day and we had already paid. 50 euro each got us a dinner (not of our full choosing) and a metro ticket home. On the other side of things Coen was an excellent driver and as well as driving helped out wherever possible on the tours. Mika was also very good and did her best to keep control of the group and explain the extras, maybe her translations were a little weak at times but very inclusive of everyone and overall a good tour leader.

    Mayra and Pascal did a great job of trekking us all over Europe - 4867km through 11 countries was crazy busy but an excellent and reasonably efficient way to hit all these Europe highlights in one trip... WOW!! Whirlwind tour but requires cold meds and attention to keep up one's health to get the most out of the trip. Would highly recommend the adventure to those strong in constitution and willing to pack light to change hotels nightly and to stay with 46 other people for two weeks straight... hotels were great, food was equally great, and sights and sounds were out of this world, amazing! :)!! We praise God for this adventure that friends of ours booked, and invited us along on ... it was expensive to travel in Europe and with about half the dinners and lunches on you, it all added up but it was worth it in the end. Very enjoyable experience.

    My 14-day trip across Europe was unforgettable! The journey was perfectly planned, and meeting fellow travelers added so much joy to the adventure. A huge thank you to our tour guide, Mayra, whose expertise and warmth made every day special, and to our incredible driver, Pascal, who kept us safe and on schedule. This trip exceeded my expectations in every way!

    The travel was excessive. Keep destination to just 4. Switzerland, Venice, Budapest and Paris with 3 to 4 days halt each. Improve coach seats. They were too narrow.

What our customers ask about this tour

    The content in our FAQ section is subject to change.
    • Are international flights included in the tour price?

      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.

    • Are young children allowed?

      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!

    • Can you cater for my dietary requirements?

      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.

    • Do I need to exchange cash before I leave?

      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.

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

      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.

    • Can Expat Explore issue me with a visa?

      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.

    • How much spending money do I need for my holiday?

      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.

    • Is travel insurance compulsory?

      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.

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

      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.

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

      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.
