- Jung· October 3rd, 2025Very well organized, tour leader & driver are great.Show more
- Teresa· October 2nd, 2025Our bus driver Wouter and our Expat tour guide Sam Tas were both absolutely wonderful. Sam Tas is extremely knowledgeable and went out of his way to make this an incredible trip. More time I Prague, more time in Switzerland, and more time in Belgium would have made it perfect.Show more
- Brent· October 2nd, 2025Absolutely wonderful. Very fast paced travel on our 2 week European bus tour. Coach was fantastic, very nice, clean and extremely comfortable with USB chargers in every seat. Meals were top notch, abs accommodation was, for the majority, great. Tour guide and bus driver were so friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and made my family and I feel extremely safe on the whole journey. Honestly it was the best experience we’ve had together as a family. Highly recommend this tour to anyone that’s not sure about it.Show more

- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written September 2025
If you are travelling solo and choose not to add the private room upgrade, you'll be paired with another solo traveler of the same gender. In the unlikely event that we are unable to pair you, you will enjoy the room to yourself at no additional cost – all while only paying the regular twin-share tour price.

When you book our Tour, you are requested to pay a 10% Deposit and the remaining balance can be paid in arrears manually when you wish to make payments, or pay for it as a lump sum 60 Days before the tour starts.

Asked on August 27th, 2025What optional excursions need to be pre booked? The optional excursions are very confusing. It would be nice to have better clarification.
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written August 2025
For our Italy in Low Season Tour, the only Optional that requires to be pre-booked is the Colosseum & Roman Forum Guided Tour. On your free day in Rome, why not take a guided walking tour of the stunning Colosseum and visit the ruins of the ancient Roman Forum? Accompanied by a local tour guide, learn the history behind the stunning buildings that once stood in the centre of Rome. Included is the entrance ticket as well as the services of the local guide. This excursion must be booked at least 20 days prior to the start of the tour. This is due to the high demand for tickets. This excursion is subject to availability and is non-refundable. The rest are booked on tour through the Tour Leader and can be paid in cash or via credit/debit card.

Asked on January 12th, 2025can you please let me know if we can have our tour in mid July What would be the itinerary and the cost for me and my daughter who is 15 years old
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written January 2025
We do not offer this tour for July (as it is a peak season for tours on the region). Instead, we have another Tour offerd for the region around that month, and you may check the itinerary and available tours in Tour Radar. You just have to search for Italy Tours, then filter the month and the operator (Expat Explore), to see other options.

Bob
Asked on January 2nd, 2025Does this mean the tour is really about the bus driving through each landmark or attractions staying for an hour and then going to the next? That 50 people is a lot for a group, too large a group to even hear anything from the guide via blue-tooth earing device.
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written January 2025
We believe the best way to get to the heart and soul of a city is on foot, surrounded by the people and the culture. For this reason, we do walking tours through most of the cities we visit. This means that Yes there will be a couple of stops in each city to conduct the walking tours (which could last upto 3 Hours). The maximum capacity is 48 Pax (2 spaces are allocated for the Driver and the Tour Leader) and so far, we do not have any negative reactions from our previous travelers for this capacity in terms of hearing discussions during the tour.

Traveler•Written January 2025Am I correct in saying in this tour, you don't stay consecutive nights in any hotel? In other words, you stay in a new hotel every night.

Jorge
Traveler•Written November 2024Can you confirm that all rooms will have their own bathroom and air conditioning?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written November 2024
Some chooses to arrive a day early while others arrive on the day, as long as they are able to catch the 10AM Meet up. Regrettably, we are unable to assist in reserving pre and post-accommodation. You can use Booking.com for your reservations.
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written November 2024
Regrettably, we can no longer assist with transfers. We recommend using public transport for airport-to-hotel transportation. If you prefer a transfer service, you can easily book through Welcome Pickups, a user-friendly platform with competitive prices.
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written November 2024
Yes, the listed experiences are already part of the Itinerary but we do have Optional Excursions offered for the Free Time or Free Days within the itinerary. These Optionals are at an added cost and can be booked through the Tour Leader while on the tour.
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written November 2024
Yes, all rooms used throughout the tour have their private en-suite Bathrooms. However, air conditioning is not commonly used in European Countries as it is cold mostly throughout the year. However, customers can request for fans at the Hotel Lobby if they feel that their room's temperature not to their preference.

Asked on October 15th, 2024Where to meet for our pick up at airport or Hotel on the start of 9th Nov 2025?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written October 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 for this information.
