    Some hotels could be more central as some were well out of the city. Maybe 2 nights as opposed to 1 night in the more popular cities as sometimes felt a little rushed but understand why. Tour leader was super organised and her and our bus driver were a dynamic duo together. Cannot fault either of them.

    I really enjoyed the trip. We got to see a lot of places in a short amount of time. Of course I wish we could stay a little longer in some of the places, but then we wouldn't get to see as much. I'm really glad I got the opportunity to see Austria even though it was just a lunch stop. Overall, I would highly recommend this trip.

    Unfortunately booking with Tour Radar was a nightmare. Completely unprofessional, unresponsive and lacked knowledge on all accounts. Most responses were met with conflicting answers. In general would book directly next time rather than using a third party due to the time and money wasted with Tour Radar. As far as the tour is was pretty good. Some days were extremely rushed and we only had an hour or so in some cities to explore, eat, etc. being part of such a large group also made it difficult to check into hotels due to one small elevator for 50 people and then only being provided 30 minutes to get ready prior to dinner. It was exhausting. Meals were okay. Decent overall. Guide was a bit unprofessional at times with certain word choices and actions.

    Kevin S. (tour guide leader), and driver (Kristoff) were awesome and exceeding our expectations. Kevin work hard very hard and definitely someone who we like to go with. same with the driver Kristoff. Our only issue was with the bus seating and the amenities like more comfy seats, Wi-Fi etc. as we travelled by bus the whole tour.

    Joe

    Asked on July 16th, 2025

    Can you help set up round trip flights from Kansas City, Missouri and coordinate with the dates of the trip? I know the flights will be extra, but I admit I'm not good at setting this stuff up and hope you can help. I also have question on the free days for Rome and Paris, how much more is it to go with the extra tour activities set up through the tour group?

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten July 2025

      While we'd love to assist with everything, please note that our packages don't include airfare and we don't offer flight booking services.

Optional excursions in Paris include: Paris+ – €65, An Evening in Montmartre – €50, Parisian Cabaret with drinks – €90. In Rome: Colosseum & Roman Forum Guided Tour – €85, Rome: Conquer the Capital – €60. Most optional excursions can be arranged directly with your tour leader during the trip.

      Does the Rome trips include the Vatican to be toured? On the Paris tours for it include the Louvre Museum? Also can I arrange travel insurance though you're company for the trip?

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten July 2025

      A visit to Vatican City is not included in the standard itinerary. However, you'll have free time in Rome to visit Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica. The Louvre Museum is not included during Paris time. You can arrange travel insurance directly through TourRadar from your booking page.

      Could you help me arrange hotels that line up to the main trip? I need two separate rooms as I'm taking my 18 year old nephew who is graduating highschool and I wanted to do something special for him.

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten July 2025

      We are unable to assist in reserving pre and post-accommodation. You can use Booking.com for your reservations. Our tour packages include Twin-Share Accommodation with 2 persons per room. We offer Single Room Upgrades at an added cost for those who want their own room.

      The price advertised for each departure is quoted for 1 Person but you can adjust the number of travelers when you try to place a hold or book the tour, it will show the quote based on the number of travelers you update.

    Would like to know about rooming arrangements for three travelers

    Accommodation
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten July 2025

      As per European hotel rules, three travelers are not permitted to stay in one room with twin beds. The third traveler would need to either be roomed with a fellow traveler of the same gender or purchase a single supplement.

    Asked on July 2nd, 2025

    I want to book this tour but I am traveling alone and would require my own room . Can this be guaranteed?

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten July 2025

      Yes, since you're traveling solo and prefer your own space, I'm happy to confirm that the private room (single supplement) is currently available for this departure. The standard pricing on our website is based on twin-share accommodation, which means solo travelers are normally roomed with another solo traveler of the same gender. But if you'd prefer your own room throughout the tour, you can simply select the private room upgrade during checkout when making your booking.

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten July 2025

      On the Book Now page, you should be able to update your phone number by adding +1 for US/Canadian numbers. If you're still having trouble, we recommend giving our team a call at +1 833 895 6770. We'll be happy to process the booking manually and make sure your phone number is entered correctly.
