    First time travelling with Expat Travel. Best way to see the must see sights is through an organized tour. Matia our tour guide was excellent, funny and very knowledgeable. Always available throughout the tour. Matteo was the best bus driver you could have. Loved the itinerary, the mixture of world famous cities, charming seaside villages and medieval towns. Definitely will be back.

    We were a private tour of 12 people. From day one we were treated like VIP's. Our tour guide Branden made sure that we got the whole Italian experience from food to history. Branden has set the bare very high for our next trip.

    It was pretty fast paced. I was not thrilled about the requirement to pay cash for all of the excursions. I was also not too happy that the tour guide solicited tips for herself and the bus driver. It would have gone over better if the tip expectation was mentioned when signing up for the tour. Other than that, it was lovely. It would also have been nice if written maps were provided as it was easy to get lost.

    The tour I did wasn’t listed, but I travelled throughout Morocco with Luke and it was a blast! He is knowledgeable, unflappable, and brings a lot of fun to the tour! I appreciated his kind concern for everyone on the tour and he went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed every minute!

    Asked on April 7th, 2025

    Are you able to recommend any tours around the same time, going to the same locations where 3 people can share a room. We are coming from Australia and would like to do a tour going from Rome to Venice.

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten April 2025

      Since your group consists of three adults, here's how we can accommodate them: One person will be paired with another traveller of the same gender. Alternatively, the single traveller can choose to upgrade to a private room (subject to availability).

      TravelerWritten April 2025

      It's a shame that there are no rooms to accommodate 3 people. I don't like to share with strangers. Also, I'm not prepared to spend a lot extra to be in a room on my own.

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten April 2025

      We at Expat Explore do not have tours that includes accommodations for 3 People in 1 room.

    Asked on March 7th, 2025

    Is it possible for 17/18 yr to share with their younger sibling. And the mom share with the other child.

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten March 2025

      As per European hotel rules and policy, three travelers are not permitted to stay in one room with twin beds. The third traveler would need to either be roomed with a fellow traveler of the same gender or purchase a single supplement.

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten March 2025

      The tour may just be too overwhelming and physically demanding for the 9 and 10 year old.
