I'm interested in the Amsterdam to Rome tour. I'm seeking information about specific hotels on the tour.

Expat Explore generally uses 3- to 4-star hotels with ensuite bathrooms, focusing on value and comfort rather than luxury. Specific hotels vary by tour, but they are typically clean, well-located, and convenient for sightseeing. Please note that in some European locations, beds may be smaller than expected, as this is part of our budget-friendly travel approach. Our tours aim to combine affordable, comfortable accommodation with enjoyable experiences, using private coaches and including free days for personal exploration.

I am looking at all the optional excursions available during the tour and was wondering if these need to be booked in advance or can we book the day of the event??

Optional excursions can only be booked once the main tour itself is confirmed — for example, a tour from Amsterdam to Rome. Once your tour booking is confirmed, we will provide you with a quotation for each optional excursion and can discuss the booking process in detail.

Are the optional tours at each destination included in the price? If not, is there a price list?

We have a number of optional excursions on offer which are not included in the tour cost. This allows you to add experiences to your tour based on your preferences and budget. I have attached the list of optional excursions below for you to take a look at, you'll notice that a few need to be booked prior to the tour but the rest can all be booked and paid for on tour so you won't need to make a final decision before the time.

Would just be interested in Amsterdam- Rome with same route as the Rome to Amsterdam trip- with stops in the Swiss Alps, Rhine valley etc not Spain.

The current Amsterdam to Rome tour follows a different route, with stops through France, Andorra, Spain, and southern France, before continuing into Italy. It does not include the Rhine Valley or Swiss Alps on the way. As our tours are pre-set and non-customizable, we're unfortunately unable to adjust the route or swap destinations.

They would like to visit main cities like Amsterdam, Paris and some in Italy for 11-12 days starting January 11th 2026. It's their honey moon.

Unfortunately we do not have a January departure for this tour in 2026. The first departure for 2026 is 8 April 2026 - 18 April 2026. Would your clients perhaps be interested in another tour departing in January 2026?

Is there only one option dates for the Amsterdam to Rome tour, ie 3rd June for 10 days?

Unfortunately, we only have the June 3, 2025 Departure for June on this tour, the next one is on July 15, 2025.

where do we fly to ? Ill be departing Sydney.

The provisional meeting point for your enquired tour is Holiday Inn Express Amsterdam Schiphol. The nearest airport to the provisional meeting point is Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS).

Is full payment upfront required or can we reserve our space with a deposit?

At the time of booking, you'll need to pay a deposit of 10% of the tour price. If you're booking within 60 days of departure, full payment will be required. Otherwise, the remaining balance is due at least 60 days before your tour begins.

Which hotel is the finish point? Also just wanting to make a note of vegetarian option.

At this stage, the drop off point of your tour is the Excel Roma Montemario. For your Dietary Requirement, I would like to advise you to please complete your IPI Form as it is there where you can choose Vegetarian as your meal options.

Which specific hotel is the start point?

Start of the tour is 22 April. The start location and time would be helpful

I this insane that the tour guide has to waste hours trying to get in touch with other guides to obtain ticket for such optionals like the Vatican. You should should just make these options available in advance for travelers. This would prevent tourist and the guide carry large sums of cash and would show more planningShow more

It was an amazing 11 days jam packed with alot of things to see and do! Our guide was the most amazing guide I've ever met! Peter (guide) and the driver Silvian made this trip the most memorable! His attention to detail and knowledge of everywhere we went was off the charts! Peter also cares alot about his passengers and make sure all passengers needs are met! Peter makes this trip 10/10. Explat explore I nominate Peter once again for the best guide in 2024. Only downside of the trip is that the hotels that were booked are abit too far from the major cities we went to, sometimes over 30 mins travel by train etc. This made it harder for us to explore more during the night. Thanks Peter and Silvian for a great trip!Show more
