Could you please let me know if you might have availability for 1 person on the tour 10th-20th August 2027?

Unfortunately, I'm unable to find any availability for the 10–20 August 2027 departure, and it appears that this departure may already be sold out. If your travel dates are flexible, the next available departure for the same tour is 7–17 September 2027.

The itinerary shows we leave from Rome and stay in Venice the first night. Is this correct? Where do we leave from in Rome and where do we end up in London?

Yes, that's correct. The tour starts in Rome, where you'll meet your Tour Leader and fellow travellers at 7:30 AM before departing by coach for Venice. Your first overnight stay is in Venice, so there is no hotel stay in Rome unless you've booked one of the optional Rome Pre-Tour Add-ons. The meeting point is: 2026 departures: Warmthotel, Rome | 7:30 AM The tour ends in London at approximately 7:00 PM, traffic and ferry schedules permitting, at a hotel in London. Please note that all hotels and meeting/end locations are subject to change. Your final and confirmed tour itinerary, including hotel details and meeting information, will be emailed to you closer to your departure date.

When we arrive in Amsterdam can we stop our trip here, as I have another tour beginning in Amsterdam. If so will you take away money from that one day expense.

Yes, you may choose to leave the tour early in Amsterdam to join your next trip. However, please note that no discount or refund can be provided for any unused portion of the tour, including accommodation, meals, transport, or activities missed due to early departure.

We return from our cruise the morning of June 23 in Civitavecchia. We could transfer to Rome upon debarkation. What time would we have to meet up with the group for the Venice transfer?

The group meets in Rome at 7:30 AM, where the tour officially begins. After that, you will travel with the group to Venice, with arrival expected around 3:30 PM that same day. We do not offer alternative pick-up or transfer points before the official meeting location, so all travellers must join the group in Rome at 7:30 AM to start the tour or catch up with the group.

Do I have to book a hotel for first day if so, how I book it in start place and end place? I am guessing you do not book start hotel or end hotel. What happens if I choose private room and one is not available? Are all extras paid in cash to tour guide?

For this tour: Pre- and post-tour accommodation: We do not arrange hotels before the tour starts or after it ends. Travellers are responsible for booking any accommodation in the start or end city. Provisional hotel details: Approximately 3 months prior to departure, we provide a provisional hotel list. Please note that this is subject to change, and the final confirmation will be sent 5‐10 days before departure. Private room requests: If you would like a private room for more privacy, we will do our best to accommodate this. In the rare event that a private room is not available, you will be paired with another traveller of the same gender. Optional activities/extras: Some optional activities can be pre-booked, while others are booked directly on tour with the tour leader, depending on the type of optional. Payments: Any optional extras or additional charges are paid directly to the tour guide, usually in cash or credit card.

Do I need to book 2night hotel in Rome

which hotel shell i booked in Tome

Is it possible to join from Italy to Belgium and not join going to England?

We do allow travelers to end the tour at any part of the itinerary if they wish to stay and not join the group in continuing with the tour. However, since we sell our tours as a package, we cannot offer any discounts or refunds if a customer chooses not to complete the itinerary in full.

When will we be in London? The evening of the 24th or the evening of the 23rd of October 2025? Do we need to find our own hotel accomodations for the evening of the 23rd? 24th?

For the Departure Date that you are interested in for this tour, the group will be back in London on the 24th. However, that will not have any included accommodations for that evening and if you are staying longer in London, you will have to arrange Post Tour Accommodation(s) from your end.

How do we travel from Bruges to London? Is it Ferry or Eurotunnel? Can I get the break down of all the optional extra meals and activities that you are laying on, so to know how to budget for the entire trip, please?

The journey from Bruges to London includes crossing the English Channel, which is typically done via the Eurotunnel (with the coach on the shuttle train). However, depending on operational factors on the day, we may sometimes use the ferry instead. Your tour leader will confirm the final arrangements during the tour. As for the optional meals and activities, most of these can be booked directly with the tour leader during the trip and are payable by local cash or credit card. For a breakdown of the optional excursions, including estimated prices and the day they're offered, you can visit the Expat Explore website, select the Best of Eastern Europe tour, and scroll down to the 'Optional Excursions' section. You can also check there on 'What's Included' and this will help you get a clearer idea for budgeting ahead of your adventure.

Is non veg food available

May I ask for clarification on what you mean by non-veg food? Does this mean that you do not have any dietary restrictions or food that you avoid?

I booked the 11-day Best of Eastern Europe tour operated by Expat Explore via TourRadar. While the tour serves as a functional, budget-friendly overview for first-time travellers which we are not), the execution falls short of a quality travel experience due to severe pacing issues, chronic rooming errors, and a notable lack of empathy and operational competence from the tour leader. Inflexible and Unprofessional Leadership: The tour leader demonstrated a significant lack of adaptability and basic situational awareness, which became evident on the very first day of transit from Rome to Venice. Prior to our first comfort stop in Tuscany, it began raining heavily. Despite the torrential downpour, the guide strictly enforced a rigid company policy stating that no one could remain on the coach while it was stopped. The group was forced off the bus, completely unprotected. By the time we walked into the service station, we were entirely soaked. While we were inside, the area flooded with ankle-deep water. Upon our return to the coach, the tour leader actively chose to make light of the situation, laughing and asking the group, "Wasn't that fun?" This flippant attitude is entirely inappropriate when managing paying adults. Compounding this lack of care, the guide made no adjustments to the itinerary or schedule to allow passengers to dry off or change. The entire group was forced to sit in drenched clothing for the remainder of the day—including through our lunch break—until we finally arrived in Venice late that afternoon. Negligent Room Allocation and Poor Administration: As a married couple, we specifically booked a double room expecting a double bed. On the first night in Venice, we were assigned two separate single beds. We initially overlooked this as an isolated incident. However, the exact same issue occurred on the second and third nights, even though other couples on the tour were receiving proper double beds. When we formally approached the tour leader on the fourth day to resolve this, her disorganisation was on full display during check-in. She could not even remember which couple had raised the issue, mistakenly approaching another pair to offer them the double room. After I intervened to remind her it was us, we finally received a double bed. Unfortunately, this was short-lived; by the sixth day, we were relegated back to separate single beds. The tour leader dismissively told us that no double beds were available and instructed us to just "push the two single beds together." This pattern continued for the remainder of the tour. The guide claimed she was emailing hotels ahead of time, yet other couples consistently received double beds while we did not. As experienced travellers who understand how tour group logistics operate, we felt entirely insulted and taken for fools. Inefficient Pacing: The itinerary attempts to cover 11 countries in 11 days, stretching from Rome to London via major hubs like Budapest. Consequently, the schedule is dominated by long transit days, often requiring 8 to 10 hours on the coach. This leaves minimal time for actual destination immersion, resulting in a superficial travel experience. Superficial Excursions: Due to tight scheduling, visits to major cultural capitals are frequently reduced to brief orientation walks. Travellers seeking meaningful engagement with local history or independent exploration will find the time constraints highly restrictive. Inconvenient Accommodation Logistics: To maintain the budget price point, the designated hotels in most instances are situated far outside the central districts. These suburban or industrial locations eliminate the opportunity for evening exploration and incur additional commuting costs for those wishing to visit the city centres independently. Omission of Core Experiences: The baseline tour price excludes many of the region's defining attractions, such as Danube river cruises. Categorizing these essential highlights as "optional excursions" creates an unexpected financial burden, making the tour far less all-inclusive than advertised. In conclusion, while the tour operates with logistical precision in terms of departures, the structure prioritizes a checklist approach over a meaningful travel experience, further hindered by a guide unable to handle the dynamic nature of group travel or basic customer service. We would strongly advise travellers seeking a deeper cultural connection and reliable service to consider alternative operators.Show more

I am writing to you regarding an extremely unsatisfactory experience my parents had as members of your Best of Eastern Europe - 11 Days tour from 27 July to 6 August 2023. I specifically texted the Expat Explorer Chat (+44 7731 943978) that I have my parents as part of your tour and below are our experience points to be considered: Tour Guide EMA. She was unfriendly and biased, to say the least. Was not helpful to my parents and in our previous experience with Expat Explorer, we had a male guide named Jordan and he was a complete opposite. The vibes were not there and she made the tour very awful for my parents. I expected the guide to take care of my parents but nothing of such sort happened. She concentrated more on the Australians on the tour bus so if she was not able to diversify her attention to the rest of the tour group, then this tour specifically led by her should not have been open to other countries. Tour Members 95% of the tour members are from Australia or New Zealand. With that, they formed their own alliances and left my parents to be by themselves for 11 days! If there is no diversity in your tour, you would have stated that the tour is only open to those nationalities so that we could select another travel operator who is more well-suited to us, who flew 13 hours from Singapore for this tour. Unnecessary remarks were passed and the tour guide only focused on the rest of the tour members, except my parents. This is complete racism and I have no qualms about raising this up to your management for more scrutiny. No friendships were forged sadly because it felt like it was a one-sided kind of tour group. Food Request When filling up the requested information before travel, we did state that we requested for halal/vegetarian options. As much as we understand that it might be challenging to abide by the request, I understand from my parents that they were being outcast specifically by the tour guide when they asked for their requested food option. This is completely unacceptable considering my parents are in their 50 - 60s and food is extremely crucial for their tour. They have to succumb to purchasing their own food when they paid the same prices as the rest of the tour members. There is also an instance that they asked their tour guide EMA for their food and was being cast aside, with her sounding frustrated. Accident Occurred On the way to Amsterdam, the bus jammed the brake. Both my mother's knees hit the back seat and her ligament is swollen. It left her limping and what a disappointment - No apology was given by the driver or the tour guide. Because she was not familiar with the place and/or clinics there, she had to limp her way through until we reached Singapore to head to the clinic. How can you compensate for this unfortunate incident?!!!!!!Show more

  The journey from Bruges to London includes crossing the English Channel, which is typically done via the Eurotunnel (with the coach on the shuttle train). However, depending on operational factors on the day, we may sometimes use the ferry instead. Your tour leader will confirm the final arrangements during the tour. As for the optional meals and activities, most of these can be booked directly with the tour leader during the trip and are payable by local cash or credit card. For a breakdown of the optional excursions, including estimated prices and the day they're offered, you can visit the Expat Explore website, select the Best of Eastern Europe tour, and scroll down to the 'Optional Excursions' section. You can also check there on 'What's Included' and this will help you get a clearer idea for budgeting ahead of your adventure.

  May I ask for clarification on what you mean by non-veg food? Does this mean that you do not have any dietary restrictions or food that you avoid?
