    I had never heard of Expat Explore Travel before, until I saw the offer on your site. Several of my fellow guests had done 2 or 3 tours with them, and now I know why. It was very well put together, and not too many early mornings either.

    Got to see important highlights of Greece in a very organized manner, awesome tour leader Matt, resolved an issue we had with our prebooked optional excursion, attended to everyone’s needs especially of the slower participants, Food was great, including most breakfast buffets. Some recommendations though… charging outlet or USB on the bus is a very helpful tool for travelers especially with all the photos and videos people take on trips. Yes we can always charge overnight at the hotels but sometimes it is not enough. Cell phones are the only way we can communicate with the leader and other tour members particularly when outside the city center. There were places where we would have preferred to stay for another night such as Nafplion or Olympia to see more of the place. Further, Is there ever a last dinner or “party” spent with all participants on the last day of the tour? We had wished there was one for us since we anda few others left - did not book for the island tours. Overall it was a fun and safe trip, thanks to our driver Taso. Thank you to you all!

    The small group size (24), excellent tour guide (Matt) & very skillful driver (Tasos) were the most important factors in allowing us to truly enjoy Greece - its people, its history, its language, its food & drink, its amazing sights such as the monasteries of Meteora & so many more. YASSAS to all our new friends on the tour and ευχαριστώ Matt and Tasos for keeping us safe !!!!

    The overall experience was Excellent ! The stay was comfortable in decent hotels with adequate breakfast, the sightseeing places were spectacular with great inputs by the Tour Leader - Matt or chosen Guide/s. The Lunch / Dinner experiences were authentic Greek and we really enjoyed the local ambience. Matt was a superb Tour Leader and held the Group together as a closely knit family. Tasos was a deft driver and we never had any uncomfortable moment on the Bus. I would recommend Expat Explore to ALL to experience the excellence in Touring !

    Wow, What can I say in a simple review? The itinerary was aggressive but worth it. We got to see most of what I wanted to for the mainland portion of the tour that I joined. All of the restaurants accommodated my special meal requests as a vegetarian so I never felt hungry! The hotels were modest but perfect for our needs; we never got a chance to hang out there much anyway! What really stood out was the breakfasts -it wasn't a simple pastry and coffee deal -each one had a full buffet. Trust me, you never left a place hungry. All of the local guides were fantastic walking us through the ruins and artifacts, giving context and relevance to it fitting into Western culture. I learned so much. Our bus driver diligently and efficiently moved us from place to place -and he put in a LOT of hours doing it. But my biggest compliment has to be for our main guide, Matt. He was AMAZING. He was always approachable with questions (I think he got the same ones five times, but still patiently answered each one!). He rallied us for early mornings, entertained us with stories and movies, and kept all of us together like a good border collie. His great personality enhanced the trip -he took time to speak to each of us as individuals rather than the mob we sometimes became. So thumbs up from me! This was great value for money and I'd love to enjoy more like it!

  • P

    Peter

    Asked on February 8th, 2025

    what does it mean double room ..... i usually share with someone else in twin share ..... does this mean the cost is for a room to myself or can i share with someone else and it is cheaper

    Accommodation
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten February 2025

      A double room is the same as a twin-share, meaning it includes two separate beds. If you're traveling solo, you have the option to share a room with a fellow traveler of the same gender, which helps keep costs lower.
