  • C

    Chris

    Asked on May 7th, 2026

    How much cash do you suggest travellers bring in Pounds, Swiss Francs and Euros for 7 days? Are there ATMs available if needed? Do most places accept credit cards or Apple Pay?

    Payments
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten May 2026

      For this 7 day tour, credit cards are widely accepted across hotels, restaurants, shops, and most attractions, so they will comfortably cover the majority of your spending.

      It is still a good idea to carry a small amount of cash in Euros for smaller purchases such as snacks, tips, or places that may prefer cash. A general recommendation is around €100–€200 per person for the full trip.

      ATMs are also readily available throughout the destinations, so you can easily withdraw Euros during the tour if needed.

  • C

    Caroline

    Asked on May 6th, 2026

    7 days tour how much extra cost for single room

    Single supplement
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten May 2026

      The single/private room upgrade is $695.00 USD, subject to change, which is an additional cost on top of the main tour price.

  • B

    Brett

    Asked on May 5th, 2026

    Is there anything we need to print or bring in terms of documents?

    Travel Support
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten May 2026

      you don't need to print much, but here are the essentials to have ready:

      Passport (valid and matching your booking details)
      Visa documents (if required for your nationality)
      Travel insurance details (policy info — digital copy is fine)
      Tour Program (we'll email this 10–15 days before departure — you can keep it on your phone or print if you prefer)

      It's also a good idea to have copies (digital or printed) of your passport and important documents, just in case.

  • M

    Monique

    Asked on April 28th, 2026

    Since we have paid for the insurance, will Insurance do something for us ?

    Travel Support
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten May 2026

      We've responded to your query on your confirmed booking dashboard, and we can continue assisting you there moving forward ?

  • P

    Pauline

    Asked on April 25th, 2026

    Is the tour suitable for travelers with some mobility issues and if any accommodations can be made for them?

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten April 2026

      Our tours are generally fast-paced and involve a significant amount of walking, including sightseeing on foot, moving between attractions, and standing for extended periods. Because of this, they are best suited to travelers with a moderate to good level of mobility and fitness.

      We are not able to modify the itinerary or pace of the group, and we do not provide accessibility arrangements within the tour program itself.

      If a traveler has mobility concerns, we strongly recommend they carefully review this before booking to ensure it is suitable for their needs.

  • R

    Rita

    Asked on April 23rd, 2026

    Can the "Europe Taster" tour be arranged as a private tour for a family group of 6-7 people? Can it start in Germany and not travel to London?

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten April 2026

      This particular trip cannot be made private for your group size, and no modifications can be made to the itinerary.

  • K

    Kristin

    Asked on April 23rd, 2026

    We will already be in Europe on 17 th May and wondered if it would be possible to join the tour in Paris?

    Tour Details
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten April 2026

      Yes, it is possible to join the tour in Paris on 17 May 2026. Please note that this would be a join-in-progress arrangement, and you would need to make your own way to the designated meeting point in Paris.

      Once your booking is made, we can provide the meeting details closer to departure. Please also note that no discounts or refunds will be applicable for any services or inclusions missed prior to joining the tour.

  • S

    Stephanie

    Asked on April 23rd, 2026

    One of our travelers, part of a group of 10-12 people, is celebrating a birthday on September 19 and would love to be in Paris that day. Could we organize a private tour for this group and adjust the departure and itinerary accordingly?

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten April 2026

      We would like to clarify that our tour itineraries and departure dates are fixed and cannot be adjusted or customised to accommodate specific date requests or private arrangements within a group booking. If you would like to be in Paris on a specific date such as September 19, we recommend carefully reviewing the itinerary dates before booking to ensure it aligns with your plans.

  • M

    Michael

    Asked on April 18th, 2026

    My daughter will be 9 in July and turning 10 in September. My husband, myself and my daughter are looking to book the 'taste of Europe' tour - can she accompany us?

    Age Range
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten April 2026

      Our general minimum age is 10 years old, however we can make an exception for a 9-year-old when travelling with parents or guardians. Our tours are quite fast-paced, with long walking days, early starts, and travel between cities, so we'd just want to ensure that your daughter is comfortable with the overall pace and mobility requirements of the tour.

      In terms of rooming:
      Accommodation is on a twin-share basis (two beds per room)
      Your daughter would be roomed with one accompanying adult
      The remaining adult can either share with another same-gender traveller (standard setup) or opt for a private room upgrade (subject to availability and additional cost)

  • R

    Ruth

    Asked on April 16th, 2026

    Since we've paid the deposit and the full amount is due on the 13th of May, is that time limited like it was when we had the booking on hold or we can just pay anytime on the 13th of May as long as it is paid on that due date? Reason why I am asking is because i get paid on that day at around 4pm adelaide time (australia)

    Payments
    • R

      Ruth

      TravelerWritten April 2026

      Also will we be able to get info about the hotels we'll be staying for the whole tour? It would be amazing if that can be provided

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten April 2026

      Regarding your final payment, the due date is typically 60 days before departure, and you're welcome to make the payment anytime on or before the due date. So yes—paying later in the day (around 4pm or even after) on the due date is absolutely fine, as long as it is completed before the deadline passes.

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten April 2026

      As for your question about hotels, the full hotel list and final confirmed itinerary will be included in your Tour Leader Announcement (TLA), which is usually emailed to you around 10–15 days before departure. This will give you all the confirmed details for your tour, including accommodations and meeting information.
