    Luke was our guide for the Best of Scandinavia and Baltics Tour in September 2024. There are certain qualities that you look for in a tour guide, and Luke shines in all of them. He’s easygoing, personable, and has extensive knowledge of the history and culture of those countries where he guides. He’s easy to listen to, even when he’s delivering a monologue on local history. He’s a great storyteller with a fine sense of humor, which makes long hours on the tour bus pass by quickly. He’s fun to hang out with. If you were travelling alone, he’s the kind of friend that you would want for a companion. It’s obvious that he really enjoys his job. He cares about giving his clients the best possible experience, no matter what situation may arise. If you want to venture out on your own during free time, he can provide valuable advice and recommendations. He’s one of the best guides I’ve ever met, and I’ve travelled a lot.

    This was one of the best tours I've been on. A shout-out to our Tour leader Ingeborg Aune and our Bus driver Łukasz Trzebiatowski who made the tour extra outstanding. They were accommodating and friendly, always willing to go the extra mile. The tour itself was amazing, there was not one place that disappointed . The highlights were Copenhagen, Gdansk, and the Nordic cruise just to name a few. The accommodation was good throughout the tour and the meals were great. The transport was excellent, we had a comfy 52 seater bus with plenty of space. We caught the Ferri a few times which is more like a cruise ship. Great experience, giving us a different perspective of the countries we were entering into. All in all 5/5

    Asked on February 3rd, 2025

    Do you still have place for me and my wife on this tour and what is the price per person? For how long will the discount be applicable and what will the new price be? What is the latest date that i can confirm in order to receive discount?

    Price / Availability
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten February 2025

      For the chosen departure, we only have 1 seat available. Maybe you might be interested on the August 2, 2025 Departure of this tour, it has plenty of spaces left and the seat cost as of this writing is only 4,725 AUD per person.

      Joy

      TravelerWritten February 2025

    Is the fee for the tour payable in full once you book? Is it possible to cancel and get a refund?

    • B

      Brandon

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      Price is based on per person double room. Does that mean I have to book for two people, or can I just book for one and share? Is there a single supplement available and how much?

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten January 2025

      The standard rate posted on the website is indeed for a Twin Shared Accommodation, and when Solo Travelers book the tour, they will be paired with another Solo Traveler of the Same Gender and share Hotel Rooms throughout the tour. We do have Single Room Upgrades (Offered at a limited availability per tour) and the upgrade on this tour is an additional 2,165 AUD. When customers book, they are required to pay a 10% Deposit and the rest of the balance can be paid off on the final due date which is 60 Days before the tour starts. The deposit is refundable if a customer cancels the booking within 10 Days after it was booked.

    • B

      Brandon

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      Is there a minimum number of travellers required in order for these tours to proceed? Also, can you tell me what the average number of travellers is on the Best of Scandinavia and the Baltics is?

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten January 2025

      Our Tour Capacity os 48 Pax per departure and our team would need at least half of that number (in terms of confirmed bookings/travelers) in order for a tour to operate.

    • B

      Brandon

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      Do all/most of your tours proceed or are there quite a few cancellations due to lack of numbers?

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten January 2025

      For this tour, we do not have any recent cancellations due to low number of attendees. Mostly because this tour has legs that are offered as separate tours, which means that almost all of the time, the allocated number of travelers per tour (including the legs) are sold out.

      Surely you can provide a guarantee of what standard of hotel like how many stars rating, you cannot blame me for asking as I would not like to be stuck in a 2star hotel in the middle of some industrial estate or undesirable area of the city we are visiting.

      Sandra

      TravelerWritten December 2024

      My wife and I are UK citizens but residents of Spain with a T.I.E.card. would we need any visas for the countries we are visiting on this tour?

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten December 2024

      The hotels that are used for our Tours varies from 2 to 4 stars. Technically, the 2 star Hotels are usually the ones that are considered "Heritage" hotels but all rooms that are used during the tour have a private en suite Toilet and Bath, although elevators are not always a guarantee.

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten December 2024

      Regarding Visa Requirements, we would recommend to check with your Local Consul/Embassy in Spain since we can only provide information related to Visa Requirements based on what we can find online as we are not a Visa Agency.
