Chris
Asked on December 2nd, 2024We want to sign up for a tour group to Portugal and Spain this Christmas. Can I buy it normally? Also, do we need to buy insurance as foreigners? Where can I buy it? How much is it? Does this travel agency have an offline store so I can learn more about it?

Chris
Traveler•Written December 2024I am a foreigner. Do I need to buy insurance? How much is it in Euros?
Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written December 2024Yes, you can certainly take the last remaining spot for the tour that you are interested in. The price is for one person and regarding accommodations, you will be sharing a room with another traveler of the same gender throughout the tour. For Insurance, you will be offered a Travel Insurance from Tour Radar's Supplier upon checkout when you book a tour. The price will depend on the tour and the coverage, and you will see the quote on the checkout process.

Chris
Traveler•Written December 2024I see that I can choose two travelers to travel. But you show that there is only one space. I don't quite understand what this means. Because I want to go with my friend, if there is only one space, I may not go. So can we go together in the end? If it is possible, I will probably book it.
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written December 2024
The Holiday Tour for our Highlights of Spain & Portugal actually has 2 spaces left. You can book those spaces directly from Tour Radar.

Asked on November 11th, 2024Is this tour suitable for a child under 10 years old?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written November 2024
The tour should be fine since the child will turn 10 soon. We have a minimum age limit due to extensive walking and activities that may not be suitable for very young children.

Asked on May 28th, 2024I was wondering how many did the tour this date last year? I see that the max # is 51 but I wanted to see if your winter tours track the same number of travelers.

Most of our Spain & Portugal departures will have upwards of 48 travelers per departure.

Asked on March 21st, 2024Are international flights included in the tour price?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written March 2024
Whilst internal flights are covered for certain itineraries, you will have to make your way to the meeting point for the start of your tour. When booking flights be mindful of departure times and possible delays.
Tip: We suggest that you start comparing prices the moment your deposit is paid to avoid costly flights.

We make every effort to include local cuisine on our tours to ensure an authentic experience for you. You'll receive an email before the tour begins, where we'll ask for your dietary preferences.

Asked on March 21st, 2024Do I need to exchange cash before I leave?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written March 2024
Contactless payment is widely accepted across Europe – it’s best to bring a payment card with no overseas withdrawal fees.
* Keep in mind that certain optionals are payable in cash to your tour leader whilst on tour. We suggest that you talk to your Tour Leader about when & where to draw cash to pay for the optional excursions.

Asked on March 21st, 2024If I wish to stay longer in the start or end destination, will Expat Explore assist with pre/post-tour accommodation?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written March 2024
While Expat Explore cannot assist with booking pre or post-tour accommodation, we recommend Booking.com for affordable accommodation options prior to and after the tour. If hotel information is available, we can provide you with the details in advance so that you can book accommodation at or nearby the start hotel. Please request this by sending a message through on the conversation page.

Catherine
Asked on March 21st, 2024Can Expat Explore issue me with a visa?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written March 2024
While Expat Explore endeavours to stay current on all major entry requirements, we are not a registered visa agent. We are, however, able to make things a little easier by providing you with the required supporting documents for a visa application once your tour is paid in full. It is a requirement of the embassies that tours are paid for in full before visa support documentation is requested and applications are made. When you have made the final payment for your booking, simply reach out to our Customer Support Team to request your visa support documents and confirm which embassy you will be applying to.
