    I have had the pleasure of Luke's quirky tour ways twice and can say that he is very informative of all the destinations. I suffer some medical issues and he was very good with me and accomadating to me and to other fellow travellers.

    There is a reason Luke’s tours sell out fast! He is an amazing tour guide! So patient and kind, he makes the trip! I loved his history lessons. He is also so much fun! He is the gold standard of tour guides!

All questions
  • R

    Roger

    Asked on July 27th, 2025

    Can we cut our tour short and just leave for the train station when we get back to Munich on June 5th?

    Tour Details
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten July 2025

      Yes, it is absolutely possible to leave the tour early if needed, and many travelers do this when they have onward plans. You're correct that the itinerary returns to Munich on June 5th, after visiting Nuremberg, with the evening free to explore the city before an overnight stay. The tour officially ends the following morning, June 6th. If you prefer, you can make your way to the train station after arriving in Munich on June 5th to catch your train. Just let your tour leader know in advance so they're aware of your plans.

    Do you offer Gluten Free meals as options on your tours please?

    Meals
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten May 2025

      Yes, we do take dietary requirements into consideration on our tours, including gluten-free meals whenever possible. Once you've booked your tour, you'll be asked to complete the Important Passenger Information (IPI) form, and that's where you can indicate any dietary needs. We'll then pass this on to your tour leader and operations so they can do their best to accommodate your request throughout the trip.
