    I believe the tour leader was unorganized at times and did not communicate well. For example on Day 3 in Montmarte...the tour leader stated this excursion would be less walking than the included Paris tour held that day. That was incorrect as we walked up several hills and at a far distance. All the while the tour leader failed to provide details on the distance. Additionally, we were late to dinner, tired, and hungry. The hotels in Paris were below standard...they did not have shower doors or air conditioning. One of the hotels in Italy were also below standard. It did not have air conditioning and when I asked the front desk why the air conditioning could not be turned on, they explained that it was cool outside at night and to open the windows/doors in the room. When I did that, it was extremely loud outside and it was not cool outside either. On Day 8 in Rome, the tour guide once again did not communicate the sites we'd be seeing nor did he effectively map out a logical route to see all the sites. We ended up doing more walking than what was needed all due to his inability to communicate and effectively create a plan that would accommodate all that was on the excursion. There was a family that continued to be late each day which threw the schedule off. The tour guide never held this family accountable. I don't know if that is against policy to do, but due to that particular family's constant tardiness, the schedule for the group was always behind. Overall, I enjoyed the tour due to all the sites and countries that we got to see. However, I would not want to do another tour with the tour guide. I believe he needs more training on how to be more detailed, communicate effectively, and be more organized.

    Our Europe tour was an unforgettable experience, and a big part of that was thanks to our incredible driver, Victor, and our amazing tour guide, Erin. From the very beginning, they made us feel comfortable, safe, and excited for every stop along the way. Victor was a fantastic driver—always calm, courteous, and skilled, even on the most winding roads. Erin was full of knowledge, energy, and positivity. She kept us engaged with stories, fun facts, and made sure we didn’t miss a thing. What made the trip even more special was the bond we formed with our fellow travelers. It truly felt like we were on a journey with one big happy family. We laughed together, shared meals, took photos, and created memories that we’ll cherish forever. Everything was well-organized and thoughtfully planned. From iconic landmarks to hidden gems, each day brought something new and exciting. I can’t thank Victor and Erin enough for their dedication, warmth, and the joy they brought to our group. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for not just a vacation, but a meaningful and memorable experience!

    Stephanie

    Asked on May 12th, 2025

    can you please share the travel time/detailed schedule between each location? For example from London to Paris, how long will this take? How much extra would it cost if I would like a single accommodation room (non sharing).

    Single supplement
    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten May 2025

      Travel times between each destination can vary, but here's a general idea to give you an overview: London to Paris: This journey usually takes around 7–8 hours by coach, including the Channel crossing (by ferry or Eurotunnel), plus comfort stops along the way. Other destinations: Travel time on the coach can range from 3 to 5 hours depending on the specific cities you're visiting next, and there are regular comfort stops to ensure a smoother ride. Regarding your request for single accommodation (non-sharing), there is usually an additional charge for a single room. The exact cost can vary depending on the tour provider and length of the tour.

    Which hotel in London does the tour start from? Which London airport should I fly in to?

    Tour Details
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten May 2025

      Meeting Point: Hampton by Hilton London City. Address: 12-20 Osborn St, London E1 6TE, United Kingdom. Meeting Time: 10:00 am. For the most convenient airport, London City Airport (LCY) is the closest to the meeting point—just about a 25-minute drive away. Alternatively, Heathrow (LHR) is a popular choice with more international flights and is around 1 hour by public transport. Gatwick (LGW) is also an option, roughly 1 hour 15 minutes by train.

    I am interested in booking your 7 country European tour from 7/28/25 - Aug 10, 2025. I notice that the price is significantly lower during that time period than the others. I just want to make sure that price includes both the guided bus tour AND all of the accommodations.

    Tour Details
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten May 2025

    Lisa

    Asked on May 7th, 2025

    Does optional excursion charge applies only if we wanted to have extra options that's not included in the package? Like if we wanted to have tour guide on free day, then we pay from put pocket?

    Other
    Tour Details
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten May 2025

      Yes, optional excursions are additional activities that are not included in the standard tour package. These are designed to give you more flexibility—so if you choose to join one (like a guided tour on a free day), it would be at your own cost and paid directly to the tour leader during the trip, usually in local currency or by card where possible.

    Renee

    Asked on May 2nd, 2025

      This tour would be a bit fast paced for such a young child. The minimum age would be 5 years old for this trip. However, we do have similar tours that would allow 3 year olds to join.
