    Very disappointed in the level and quality of lodging, including location, attentiveness of staff and cleanliness. Because of this I would not use again NOR recommend your group. I loved the tour director and driver, however accommodations were not good.

    Our family of five had the best time during this trip! Antonio was really organized, knowledgeable, humorous, and very professional! Robbie made sure our ride was smooth and kept us comfortable the whole trip! We met new friends and my kids suddenkt had instant aunties and uncles 🤣 I highly recommend this to those who’d like to visit beautiful selected European cities in a short period of time. Was it tiring? Yes, but the good kind. We had enough time to rest on the bus on our way the next destination. We are now planning for our next trip! 💕

    The tour was mostly good. Especially the tour leader and coach driver. They were excellent. The number of optional offered was fair and not too much. Given the summer months, hotel selections without air conditioning is not acceptable.

    The Europe Taster itinerary lived up to its name, offering a brief overview of a few European countries. I originally booked this trip for April 2019, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it had to be rescheduled and ultimately canceled. I'm so glad that I decided to rebook the trip in 2025. The itinerary was well-planned, and I thoroughly enjoyed all the places we visited. However, I wish we could have spent a bit more time in Bruges, Belgium, before returning to London. Our tour guide, Lila, made this trip truly memorable. She was organized, knowledgeable, and ensured that everyone in the group felt comfortable and had the opportunity to get to know one another.

    Terrible area of town in Paris with bedbugs. Awful meals on Day 1 and Day 3. Loooonnnngggggg 12 hour days trapped on a bus that start at 6:15AM and don’t end until 7-8PM at night. There is zero down time, and you are living like a gypsy for a week. You are forced to leave the bus when it stops even if you would prefer to try and sleep. Pros: No driving. Tour is a budget tour that does exactly what it says- it gives you a “taste” of France, Switzerland, Germany, Holland and England. Leader and driver were kind and helpful, and they tried to accommodate when they could. Con’s: Expect motel 6 roadside accommodations that vary widely in quality. Your included meals may not be edible, so plan to forage for your own food. The days on the bus are brutal, and the early mornings were like going to work. If you want to freshen up for dinner, you can’t. We were often so exhausted after a day of sitting on a coach and touring European truck stops that we collapsed. Stops cater to tourists , and goods being sold are often higher priced than they are at home. The upshod: This is a great, cheap way to introduce yourself to Western Europe. You also get what you pay for. It is not a comfortable way to travel and the days on the bus are brutal and a semi subhuman way of existing. We made it fabulous for ourselves on our free days, but I am glad we didn’t have to depend on Expat for our entire experience.

      Is the meeting point close to the airport??

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten July 2025

      For the August 24 departure, you'll need to be in London by the 23rd, as the tour will start early on the 24th. While we don't offer pre-tour accommodation or airport transfers, you're welcome to book a nearby hotel on your own. The current meeting points for this tour are: Meeting Point 1: Outside Hotel Novotel at Greenwich station at 06:30 AM. Meeting Point 2: Hotel lobby at Holiday Inn Express, Greenwich at 07:00 AM. Both are located in Greenwich, London, which is not directly near Heathrow Airport. Depending on your arrival airport, you may need to take the train or arrange a transfer to reach the Greenwich area.

    Asked on July 15th, 2025

    What time do you expect to be back in London on 20 September. Would it be in time for a departure from LHR on 20 September 8:50pm?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten July 2025

      The tour typically ends at around 8:00 PM, so unfortunately it would not be in time for a 8:50 PM departure from LHR the same evening. We'd recommend booking a flight for the following day to avoid any stress or risk of missing your departure.
