    The overall experience was fantastic! This tour really took the stress out of travelling - all you had to do was relax and enjoy the ride. The only criticism I have is I would have loved more time in some places and less in others. My next tour I will definitely be booking with Expat Explore.

    Steve and Will were wonderful. The place we went were amazing, but I wish we spent more time in the smaller villages than the bigger city’s. I was with a great group of people who are now friends. Most of the hotels were great, but there were a couple that were a couple that were horrible. Over all I would love to take another tour!

    The tour walks a lot. Not good for people who cannot walk far. The tour guide is not considerate to older people. Some hotel has no lift who has to walk stairs to your room .

All questions
  • D

    Dale

    Asked on December 16th, 2024

    Is transport from one country to another, for example, Switzerland to Germany, included during the tour?

    Transport
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten December 2024

      Yes, it is included. What we offer are Coach Tours and once the customer joins our tour at the starting point, all transports will mostly be through our Coach until the customers are dropped off at the end of the tour.

  • D

    David

    Asked on August 20th, 2024

    Can you please let me know is the tour guide and bus driver the same for the entire tour and how much walking would you say is required per day

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten August 2024

      For each Tour Departure, we do assign 1 Tour Leader and 1 Bus/Coach Driver for the entire duration. However, there are a few situations that we might have to change Drivers or Tour Leaders but not often. During walking tours, some might be guided by a Local Guide but the assigned Tour Leader will still be with the group. 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. Many of the cities you visit are vast and old, often with steps and cobblestones. Our walking tours can last up to 3 hours with plenty of opportunities to take photographs and soak up the history of these fascinating places, but you do require a certain level of fitness to enjoy your tour to its fullest.

    Transport
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten July 2024

      The Preferred Airport by customers in Rome is the Leonardo Da Vinci Airport (FCO) and in Amsterdam is Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. 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.

  • B

    Ben

    Asked on June 21st, 2024

    We definitely have 4 people interested. So that would then be 2 single rooms and 1 double room.

    Accommodation
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten June 2024

      A single supp/private room upgrade for this tour is currently 1386.00 AUD per room. This will ensure that you have your own bedroom and private bathroom for the entire tour. Please note that single supplements are very limited and are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

      TravelerWritten June 2024

      will you arrange a day trip from Geneva to Lucernce or can you recommend to us?

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten June 2024

      Regrettably, we do not offer day trips. Our shortest Itinerary is 7 Days. We do have Optional Excursions (short trips) offered, but this are offered for specific tours (with either 7 or more day itineraries).

    • R

      Rachel

      TravelerWritten June 2024

      I'm referring to the free day in Geneva. And the itinerary stated that we could take a train to Lucernce if we are not interested in going to the alps. Hence, i am wondering if the guide can recommend a day trip to Lucernce or show us where to get the train ticket.

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten June 2024

      That is not an Optional Service/Excursion that we offer, if a customer wishes to take that route, then they would have to make their own way and meet back with the group afterwards. It would be something that you arrange and just maybe, the Tour Leader can make recommendations during the tour.

    I am looking to book a trip, it's between this one and another for me, I think that the deciding factor might be accommodations. The other trip lists the exact hotels that we'd be staying in, can I please have a list of the hotels that would be used during this trip, please?

    Neil

    Asked on March 21st, 2024

    Are international flights included in the tour price?

    Flights / Transfers
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten March 2024

      Whilst internal flights are covered for certain itineraries, you will have to make your way to the meeting point for the start of your tour. When booking flights be mindful of departure times and possible delays.
      Tip: We suggest that you start comparing prices the moment your deposit is paid to avoid costly flights.

    Asked on March 21st, 2024

    Can you cater for my dietary requirements?

    Meals
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten March 2024

You'll receive an email before the tour begins, where we'll ask for your dietary preferences. We always have a vegetarian option, and we'll work hard to accommodate any other dietary needs or preferences you may have.

    Naomi

    Asked on March 21st, 2024

    Do I need to exchange cash before I leave?

    Payments
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten March 2024

      Contactless payment is widely accepted across Europe – it’s best to bring a payment card with no overseas withdrawal fees.
      * Keep in mind that certain optionals are payable in cash to your tour leader whilst on tour. We suggest that you talk to your Tour Leader about when & where to draw cash to pay for the optional excursions.
