    The tour was very good with a little modification would be excellent. For example hotel in swisserland has no lift with very small room. Also, it would great if it included a stop in Vienna and see the opera house instead of the dancing show which was not worth the money for that option.

    There was not enough time to visit each country and way too much time on bus. We had less then an hour for the bus to go bathroom, eat and shop. That was not enough time to do all of it. Felt to much rushing to complete things. There was hotels that had terrible food for breakfast and location for hotels was close to towns or restaurants or subway or trains or buses

    The locations are amazing but brief. Lots of time spent on a bus stuck in traffic. Hotels range from great to subpar. Hotel locations range from good to to far out. Food was mostly subpar and minimal. If you’re a vegan don’t waste your time. If a vegetarian or omnivore/carnivore you’ll be disappointed.

    It was a great way to discover some part of Europe at one time. We got to discover the major attractions that have been on our bucket list. There were 33 of us on the group from different continents, we made new friends. Our tour guide Mayra was amazing & knowledgeable. Our driver, Sam was a gentle kind soul and a safe driver, drove us tirelessly for eight days. I thank them both for the awesome job.

      Will there be any issue returning to Amsterdam on September 10?

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten July 2025

      The Tour Program (Finalized Itinerary with the Hotels that are booked for the tour) is sent out to travelers 10-15 Days before the tour starts. As of now, the Hotels are still under "Contracted" status as the bookings for them are in the process of being completed, so the list is still subject to change.

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten July 2025

      For the Coach, it is a Comfortable Modern Coach and can accommodate any Tour Group at Full Capacity without being "Cramped".

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten July 2025

      The tour ends on September 11 and on the 10th, the group will be staying in Paris. If a customer wishes to cut the tour short by a day, that would be fine, but you will have to arrange the transportation.

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten July 2025

      On Day 1 of the tour, the Itinerary is Packed from the Meet Up Time (10AM) until the Canal Cruise that ends at around 3PM and then you can either Join the Optional Excursion offered for the rest of the day, or Take it as a Free Time and enjoy the city on your own. Regrettably, we can no longer assist with transfers and it is not included in the package. We recommend using public transport for airport-to-hotel transportation.

    Can you assist us with getting an accommodation from September 17 to 18 and then September 25 to 26 for the September 18 to 25 European Vistas tour?

    Accommodation

    The person I am travelling with is 78 years old and you have a limit of 75. She is in very good shape. Just did the hike to Machu Picchu. I don't see anything strenuous on this trip. Could she please be given an exception.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten June 2025

      We completely understand your concern, and we're happy to reassure you that we have a very wide range of ages on our tours. In fact, we don't restrict our travelers based on age at all — a positive attitude and an open mind are far more important than a number! It's wonderful to hear that she recently completed the hike to Machu Picchu — that's incredibly impressive and speaks volumes about her energy and spirit. As long as she feels comfortable with the itinerary, we'd be delighted to have her join the adventure!

      One passenger is 80 years old but your itenerary say age till 70 or 75 can he still join?

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten June 2025

      Travelers over 75 years old are welcome to join our tours, including those who are 80. However, it's important to note that our itineraries can include long days, walking tours (sometimes on uneven ground), fast-pace - up to 3 hours, and steps or stairs at certain accommodations. As such, all travelers must be fit and mobile enough to manage independently, without assistance from the Tour Leader or fellow passengers.

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten June 2025

      Yes, the group will board the Coach daily from the Hotel and whenever there is a need to go to certain locations. Basically, what we offer are Coach Tours so it is used as primary transportation, and customers are also transported back to the Hotel in the evening.

    Asked on June 7th, 2025

    wondering if there was a possibility of a group discount for booking for 6 guests?

    Price / Availability
    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten June 2025

      Currently, the discounts offered for our Tours are indicated on the Tour Radar Tour Page and it shows on which departures certain discounts are offered. We currently do not offer group discounts. Additionally, you listed the composition of your group as 4 Children and 2 Adults. Please note that minors need to be paired with an adult within your same group and that would mean that if there are 4 minors, the group needs to also have at least 4 Adults since the accommodations are only Twin-Share Rooms (2 Pax each).

      Robin

      TravelerWritten June 2025

      do 17 year olds class as minors?

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten June 2025
