What people love about Europe Tours from Amsterdam
- Europe Jewel
We compared 3 European bus tours before signing up with Xpat Explore. Our expectations were minimal knowing that this was the most budget friendly tour. To our delight, the quality of the tour was very good for the price we paid. New and modern coach, experienced driver and guides, clean, en-suite twin sharing accommodations, and many meals were included as well. It was pretty fast faced, but the 4 of us in our late 50's had no problem to catch up. We were blessed with good weather, long day light, and good traffic, etc. Our tour program was flawlessly executed. The walking tour in major cities was much appreciated with lots of info provided by our guides. We made many new friends along the way. Thank you Xpat Explore for a tour so well organized.

The tour is absolutely fantastic and we are enjoy it very much! We like Jungfrau, Switzerland the most. The coach seat is not so comfort during travel day & some accommodation provided without lift, since it is 18 days & you can imagine how difficult to handle the big and heavy the luggage after tired travel day.
Ri has been the most amazing trip manager. Pulling out some great puns and awesome bus games? she is super caring and puts so much work into her trips. Legend
