I am currently looking at visa requirements. In meantime, can I now get information on: Payment details. I am looking at getting in Munich on 27th May. Can airport pick up be arranged? Can the extra 2 days accommodation also be arranged at the same hotel that tour starts from?

Can airport pick-up be arranged when getting in Munich on 27th May? Can the extra 2 days accommodation also be arranged at the same hotel that tour starts from?

For our Europe tours, we unfortunately do not arrange airport transfers or pre/post-tour accommodation. For airport transfers, you may wish to arrange this through a trusted provider. For additional hotel nights, you can book accommodation directly through platforms like booking sites. If you'd like to stay at the same hotel where the tour begins, I'd be happy to confirm the starting hotel details for you so you can arrange your booking accordingly.

What is your cancellation policy?

As per your request, please see below the cancellation policy: 60 days or more before departure - Loss of deposit 45 - 59 days before departure - 20% of tour cost 30 - 44 days before departure - 40% of tour cost 15 - 29 days before departure - 70% of tour cost 14 days or less before departure - 100% of tour cost

Where do I go to to see what is included on this tour? What meals, transportation, etc.,?

If you are looking for specific information on your upcoming tour please follow the Essential Tour Information link below.

do all rooms fit three people?

as per European hotel rules and policy, three travelers are not permitted to stay in one room with twin beds, this cannot be allowed. Therefore the third traveler would need to either be roomed with a fellow traveler of the same gender or purchase a single supplement.

Could you confirm if it's possible to accommodate three travellers—two adults and one 13-year-old—in one room?

As per European hotel rules and policy, three travelers are not permitted to stay in one room with twin beds. The third traveler would need to either be roomed with a fellow traveler of the same gender or purchase a single supplement. Minors are not permitted to share a room with one another. A minor must be roomed with an accompanying adult. We only offer twin-share accommodation.

i am just wondering if it is possible to leave the tour after the Lucerne nights instead of continuing onto Paris as i need to stay in Switzerland thats the tour starting on June 1st 2026

Yes, you're absolutely welcome to leave the tour after the Lucerne nights if you need to stay in Switzerland. While you're free to join or leave the tour at any stage, just keep in mind that you'll still be responsible for the full tour cost, even if you don't continue on to Paris.

Could we still join your group?

The set departures for this tour are July 15–23, 2025 and August 30–September 7, 2025. Unfortunately, the dates you mentioned don't align with our scheduled departures.

I want to make a booking for 2 people for the Scenic Europe tour but it says there's only 1 space left for the Scenic Europe tour. Does this mean only one person?

To confirm, the June 21, 2025 departure currently has just 1 seat available. However, we've been notified that TourRadar agent has already reached out to us to request an additional seat so that both travelers can be accommodated.

We require Vegetarian meals (No mushroom) options for the trip

The Itinerary was wonderful but due to traffic jams which are unpredictable, it left some destinations with too little time to appreciate more than a couple of photos. Florence was one example. Adding one more day may have given us that time. Levi worked very hard to accommodate a very diverse group. His extensive knowledge of history and language added another level to our understanding of the places we saw.Show more

Levi was very kind soul with a whole lot of responsibilities. He could of used some help at the Venice tour because the city doesn't like large groups like ours. We did get to the bus stop late because the speed boat had to turn around , went wrong way. So that made a few of us that was on boat late for the bus. Levi sent us info on which bus to get on with the link for directions. Thank thank goodness !! Very attentive to our needs. My 83 yr mother need some special care because of knee injury and lung condition and he made sure to give it. She says he is very nice and funny.Show more

This was my very first time joining a tour group, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Levi went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt comfortable, and if something wasn’t quite right, he always found a way to make it better. Both Levi and Alex welcomed us with such kindness and warmth that it instantly made the group feel like family. What really stood out was Levi’s passion for history. The way he shared stories and even his own personal experiences made each place we visited come alive. It wasn’t just sightseeing—it felt meaningful and special. And lastly, a heartfelt thank you for the extra ice creams and the laughs you gave us!Show more

Walked average 8 miles; even 10 miles one day. Guide left behind people on two different occasions and only had 29 of us traveling. Guide not familiar with tour places or directions without her Google map; which I could have done myself, Our tour group took care of each other vs the guide making sure things worked out. Positive was scenery was beautiful minus the dirty cities. Traveled Trafalgar Whirlwind 3 yrs prior and it was five stars. Sadly I give Expat Scenic 1 star.Show more

I had the pleasure of being guided by Rachel, and I cannot recommend her enough! From start to finish, it was clear that she is not only incredibly passionate about what she does but also highly organized and thoughtful in every aspect of the tour. Her deep knowledge and love for the area shined through, making each stop not just a point on a map, but a meaningful experience. She was always prepared, ensuring everything ran smoothly, and took the time to ensure everyone in the group felt included and engaged. Her attention to detail and ability to anticipate the group’s needs made the tour feel personal and well-curated. I left with a deeper appreciation for the destination, thanks to her exceptional storytelling and genuine enthusiasm. If you’re looking for a guide who will elevate your travel experience, look no further than Rachel.Show more
