- MGMokchadah· October 1st, 2024The tour has an interestingly very well chosen destinations and Luke Watson has been extremely helpful throughout the whole tour, with the same excitement, enthusiasm, and imparting loads of information day after day on each and every aspect of the tour, guiding and advising us all!Show more
Trip date: September 2024 - JSJack· October 1st, 2024This was the most inclusive Expat experience we have had, our third. Luke our tour guide made every moment of the trip interesting with his excellent knowledge and humour. Thank you Luke for magical 20 days.Show moreTrip date: August 2024
- JDJohn· September 30th, 2024Luke 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.Show moreTrip date: September 2024
- MGMokchadah· September 30th, 2024Overall the tour experience was wonderful and fulfilling, and our Tour guide Luke was amazing, fun, knowledgeable of every single detail with an outgoing personality, and ever helpful.Show more

- Bethany· July 29th, 2024This is an excellent tour and Luke is a fantastic leader! We’ve been on 7 tours with Expat, discovered them through a Tour Radar email back in 2015 and just love their approach, organization, and passion. Luke is the best of the best. He clearly loves his job and is caring and compassionate to all his travelers. He shares his joy by making it easy to experience and understand the different cultures. He does his homework and manages to give the right amount of history, and facts to not overwhelm but give a strong sense of what we’re about to see so we can better appreciate it. That isn’t at all easy but he makes it seem so. We hope to do future tours with him, he’s made this trip another excellent Expat extravaganza!Show moreTrip date: July 2024
- NLNatalie· July 12th, 2024Luke and Brian were amazing! Luke is very knowledgeable and always had a story tell. He always joined us for included meals as well as invited us out with him when there was free time. If Luke is your guide, you will have an unbelievable experience!Show moreTrip date: July 2023
- Andre· July 21st, 2023This 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 5/5Show moreExpat Explore Travel commented on this reviewThank you for both sharing your experience and granting us a 5-star rating! We're delighted to learn that our on-road team provided exceptional care and that you had a fantastic time. We look forward to welcoming you on another Expat Explore adventure...

Charles
Asked on July 30th, 2025I am a very healthy fit 77 year old. I do at least 2 multi day 170km plus walks and/or mountain climbing per year. This year I have just completed 200km of the Via Francigena and in a few weeks I fly to the UK to do the Coast to Coast (303km) followed by Hadrians Wall 174km. My question is would I be eligible to join the 20 day Scandanavian tour which shows a max age of 75!?

- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written 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.

Asked on January 9th, 2025Is the fee for the tour payable in full once you book? Is it possible to cancel and get a refund?

Brandon
Traveler•Written January 2025Price 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 TravelOperator•Written 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.

Traveler•Written January 2025Is 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 TravelOperator•Written 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
Traveler•Written January 2025Do all/most of your tours proceed or are there quite a few cancellations due to lack of numbers?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written 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.

Traveler•Written December 2024Surely 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
Traveler•Written December 2024My 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 TravelOperator•Written 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 TravelOperator•Written 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.
