    I don’t recommend Expat Explore tour companiy and I’ll not going to travel with them ever again! Tiago, the guide had no idea about all places that we were visited and did not give us any information, but he was asking few times about the tips for him. So if you just want a bus ride, that’s all that you have.

    It was a great experience that we will never forget. The pace was fast but it was manageable, with us covering a lot of county's in a short amount of time. Our tour guide did an excellent job in leading us. He was very interesting to listen to, with his knowledge and understanding of the history and culture of each country visited. The driver was excellent in his skills of navigating our course. The driver and guide made an excellent team, providing insight and good leadership. We made many new friends and will never forget our time together with each one of them.

    Sam, our bus driver, can drive a bus through the needle of a haystack. He's that good!! Jimena was VERY knowledgeable about all of our stops and in between. She was very personable and tried to accommodate our every need. The bus was comfortable. The only thing that I didn't like was having to change seats everyday. The trip is fast and furious and requires a lot of walking. So be in some kid of shape for this trip and be a morning person. The hotels were not the best.

    An amazing and great and enjoyable , group tour experience me and my sister had. Antonio our group leader with Expat is so caring to each and everyone in our group especially the seniors. He made sure that each and everyone learn about each country we go, always warned us about protecting our belongings.and made us enjoy every places we go.. He is the man that will give a nice smell to your company. Tourradar/Expat is very well commendable. Cheers to you for choosing the best people in your team.

    Tourradar offered the same great price for and Expat Explore Travel tour but correspondences sometimes took 24-36 hours whereas in dealing with the Expat company directly, they responded within 12 hours. Otherwise, Tourradar was a sufficient liaison between myself and the Expat Explore Travel company and I would probably use Tourradar again for future travels.

When booking for more than one person, we'll always pair travellers from the same booking in twin-share rooms unless you request otherwise.
