- Aggie· July 1st, 2025It was a really upbeat and well-organized trip! I felt safe and well looked after throughout. The food was okay, but overall, I had a fantastic experience. The coach was spotless, the driver was super talented and helpful, and our tour leader was so friendly, energetic, and always ready to assist us. They even went the extra mile to show us more and meet any special needs. I definitely recommend this to my friends!Show moreTrip date: June 2025
- BCBianca· July 1st, 2025Great tour, fast paced but you get to see and do a lot. The guide was very helpful when we wanted to do something, and the driver was great too. Only wish we had more time in all of the places except Germany/Black Forest was the only place I didn’t enjoy as I found the locals were really rude.Show moreTrip date: June 2025

Expat Explore Travel commented on this reviewThank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed your tour. It sounds like Antonio and Josh made your experience even more memorable. We hope to see you on tour again soon.Trip date: September 2024 - CMCatherine· September 19th, 2024While the overall tour was satisfactory there were some aspects that need addressing: On a few occasions the arrival/check-in at our hotels for the night was far too late & due to the long days, which I know are are standard on a coach tour, this increased the exhaustion aspect of the day. Also there was a lot more walking around for LSS than was implied in the tour summary. Some of the hotels were far too far away from the towns/cities we visited. I realize that there is a budget to be adhered to but surely there must be other closer options available closer to the town centres? Also some of the rooms in the hotels were ridiculously small - a fact that was commented on by many pax on our tour. The hotel in Avignon, while quaint, had an inoperable lift (for the luggage) which appeared to have been out of action for some time, judging by the age of the notice on it! One hotel in Baden-Baden did not even have AC.....the temperature in the rooms was unbearably hot. All they could offer me was a rickety old fan which struggled to keep me cool. Others in the group reported a very uncomfortable night trying to keep cool.Show moreExpat Explore Travel commented on this reviewThank you for your feedback.

Trip date: April 2024 - Malcolm· May 14th, 2024We thoroughly enjoyed our tour experience. Some of the days did feel a bit long due to travel days, but gave us the chance to rest up. Coming from Australia we did find it a bit disappointing there was no mention of, or chance to stop at prominent war memorial sites along the way, particularly on the days close to ANZAC Day. Just a tip about tipping. In Australia we don’t have a tipping culture, and when asked to tip an extra 9euro per day per driver and guide this all added to the cost of the tour (and due to exchange rate was quite expensive) - which equated to at least a weeks wages in Australia.Show moreExpat Explore Travel commented on this reviewThank you for your feedback on your tour experience.

Nathan
Asked on May 5th, 2025Will we be staying the night of the 15th at the hotel in Amsterdam or do we just meet you there to leave at 7 am? Our flight from the US comes in at 7:15 am so if we are just meeting at the hotel on the morning of the 15th, we would need to come the 14th and make alternative hotel arrangements.
Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written May 2025on Day 1, the tour departs from Amsterdam at 7:30 AM and travels directly to Paris, where your first night's accommodation will be. This means you will not be staying in Amsterdam on the night of the 15th. Since your flight arrives that morning, it may be quite tight, so you might consider arriving on the 14th and booking pre-tour accommodation.

Could you provide a reference or booking number for your April tour? I've tried searching under your name but I couldn't find a match in our system.

Asked on March 14th, 2025Does the tour end in Amsterdam city center or at a airport hotel? The travelers are planning to take a train to Paris to visit family after the tour and I need to know where I should book the train departing from. Also, they have a single occupancy friend who is interested in taking this tour with them. Does this tour have any availability for a Private Single traveler?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written March 2025
On the last day of the tour, it will end after breakfast at the Hotel but customers can stay in until checkout time but there will be no transfers to the city center or any other location, provided from the tour. Yes, we still have availability for a Single Rom Upgrade for the September 16, 2025 departure and it is offered at 1,555 USD on top of the seat cost.

Traveler•Written March 2025Is it possible to get the hotel list as soon as we book and pay the deposit? The clients want to apply for the visa as soon as they book the trip and pay the deposit. The client also is required to purchase travel insurance with $30,000 Euro medical. Do you have a minimum amount of medical insurance that you require the travelers to have?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written March 2025
We can only share the full itinerary, including hotel details, once your booking is confirmed and you are within 90 days prior to departure. Accommodations vary depending on the tour date, and the most up-to-date listing will be available at that time. As for travel insurance, we do not require a minimum amount for medical coverage. However, from what we know, the standard requirement for a Schengen visa is around €30,000. It's always best to check with your travel insurance provider to ensure you have sufficient coverage.

Asked on March 11th, 2025I am from Mumbai India. My son is in Amsterdam. He is having Schengen visa. We 3 wanted to join this trip. How will process our visa? We 3 will share single accomodation in hotel. what will be price for us?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written March 2025
We would unfortunately not be able to assist you with your visa application. However, once you have a confirmed booking and paid your tour in full we would be able to assist you with the following documents: Travel documents and a visa program. Since you are 3 travelers we would not be able to accommodate you all in one room. Two travelers would share a room and the third traveler would have the following options: Option 1: Shared room accommodation - the third traveler would share a room with another passenger on tour of the same gender. Option 2: Private room - this would be subject to availability at an additional cost.

Asked on January 1st, 2025can you either match or better her price
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written January 2025
our tour packages are sold using a bucket system and the system automatically adjust the price of the seats for the tour to the next (higher) bucket once the seats from the previous price bucket are sold. With that said, we can only honor the current website price.
