- Angela· January 6th, 2025I booked thru Tour Radar but it was “Ex-Pat” tours who provided the tour, actually; I was not as well informed of the logistics of the trip had I booked with Ex-Pat directly. It was a whirlwind tour, well organized & implemented. The weather was understandably chilly; the sights & experiences memorable. Emphasis on good footwear can not be overstated. Have a plan for your free time or anticipate reasonable extra costs. Guide & driver were super! TyShow moreTrip date: December 2024

Asked on August 27th, 2024I need the starting point hotel so i can book a hotel nearby for the pre-night
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written August 2024
At this stage, your departure is too far in advance for us to give you a confirmed starting hotel. Due to the fact that our hotels are subject to change, we do not provide inaccurate information beforehand to minimize any confusion that may be caused. We therefore suggest reaching out roughly 90 days prior on your confirmed booking page for this information.

- 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.

Rob
Asked on March 18th, 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 18th, 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.

Jamie
Asked on March 18th, 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.

Ryan
Asked on March 18th, 2024How much spending money do I need for my holiday?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written March 2024
This is up to you and will vary depending on how much you wish to spend on snacks, drinks, souvenirs etc. We do not include entrance fees to attractions and museums. We do, however, provide you with free time to see everything you want, and our tour leaders will have all the information on pricing and locations so you can manage your own budget. Please refer to your tour-specific pre-departure information and optional excursions guide for further details.
