    Due to the fact that our hotels are subject to change, we do not provide inaccurate information beforehand to minimize any confusion that may be caused. We therefore suggest reaching out roughly 90 days prior for this information.

  Do you get any time at all in Munich? If, for example I wanted to go to Nymphenburg Palace or Munich Residenz?

    Would I have to go around Auschwitz, I've been before and found it too harrowing, I really wouldn't want to go again? Is there a cafe I could stay in with a book?

    Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written November 2025

    You are welcome to explore on your own as long as it doesn't interrupt the scheduled program. For example, if you'd like to visit places like Nymphenburg Palace or Munich Residenz, you can do so. You may also check with your guide for specific timings to ensure you don't miss any key parts of the itinerary. On free days, you are entirely free to tour independently if you prefer not to join the group, just inform the guide. Please note, however, that we do not provide refunds for any parts of the program you choose not to attend. Attendance at visits like Auschwitz is part of the program, but if you prefer not to participate, you may remain elsewhere, such as at a nearby cafe. Your guide can advise on suitable places where you can spend your time comfortably.

    At this stage, your enquired departure is too far in advance for us to give you a confirmed starting hotel. Due to the fact that our hotels are subject to change, we do not provide inaccurate information beforehand to minimize any confusion that may be caused. We therefore suggest reaching out roughly 90 days prior for this information.

    how long would it take to for me to get the money back?

    Generally, any cancellation made after 10 days from booking is considered a loss of deposit, and cancellations made within 60 days prior to departure will incur additional cancellation fees based on the terms and conditions.

  Melissa

  Asked on September 29th, 2025

  How do I arrange transportation to and from the airport connections? How do I view/book the excursions? Are there any additional fees outside of booking fees? Outside of a passport do I need any other documentation ahead of time? How many are going in the group? How are meeting times and places coordinated? Is there anything else I should know being a first-time land tour goer? Is the tour fast paced? Is there much free-time built in to the trip?

    For Transportation Services, we recommend a website called Welcome Pickups. The Tour is already all inclusive with fees. However, there are meals that are not included which you will need to pay for. Our Tours have a maximum capacity of 48 Pax.

    For the airport transfer is there a way to pay through you all? Just curious if thats an option. Also I figured i would have to pay for the excursions during the trip with cash or card, am I correct that they cant be prebooked? One other question I thought of is if you guys for some reason need to change the tour date would you give me notice?
  • 

    Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written October 2025

    Regrettably, we can no longer assist with transfers, thus all payments will be made directly to the service provider you choose to go with. All pre-book optional excursions are to be booked and paid for in advance. All other optional excursions is to be booked and paid for on tour to your tour leader. If we cancel the tour due to unforeseen circumstance (very unlikely for this to happen) we would indeed notify you ahead of time.

    Traveler•Written October 2025

    Are there any excursions available for Bratislava or Lake Bled? Or are those shorter tours? More for a quick walk through and some photo taking? The other question I thought of is how would I buy the dining package to get the dinners on the trip, I'm guessing the excursions would probably include most of them? But would I pre-book that or buy it on the tour?
  • 

    Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written October 2025

    In terms of optional excursions, most can be booked directly with your tour leader during the trip and paid for in local cash or by credit card. Prices and availability are subject to change. Pre-bookable optional excursions are non-refundable once confirmed. Meals included in the itinerary are already covered, but optional excursions may also include some meals as part of the experience. Additional dinners can be enjoyed during free time at your own pace, often with recommendations from your tour leader.

    The Tour starts at 10AM on Day1 for the Meet up with the Tour Leader. On the last day of the Tour, customers can choose to leave the group from the Hotel after breakfast. We recommend using public transport for airport-to-hotel transportation.

    could I check in the night before to that hotel? do you guys have some sort of group rate for that? On the very last day, the 25th, is that just breakfast in the morning or is that the day we get back from our tour and the 26th is the final day?
  • 

    Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written September 2025

    We are unable to assist in reserving pre and post-accommodation. The group will head back to Munich on October 24, and stay overnight at the Hotel in Munich. Then the tour ends after having breakfast at the Hotel on the 25th.

  Asked on August 27th, 2025

  does it still go ahead if you are the only person who is booked for particular dates or do you cancel it/move travellers to other dates etc.

  Tour Details
  • 

    Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written August 2025

    We always do our best to ensure that our tours go ahead as planned, and once a departure reaches around 12 or more passengers, you can feel confident it will proceed. It's only on very rare occasions that we might have a departure with just one or very few travelers booked, and in such cases, the tour could be subject to cancellation. If that were to happen, we would always notify you well in advance and provide alternative options such as moving to a nearby departure date that already has more travelers confirmed.

    is that sort of period generally popular enough to run the tour?
  • 

    Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written August 2025

    We only have 1 June 2026 Departure (June 10, 2026 Start Date). Although the number of confirmed bookings for that schedule does not yet meet the minimum number, but as this is a popular tour, the number of confirmed booking is expected to go up soon.
