Shelley· July 25th, 2025Walked average 8 miles; even 10 miles one day. Guide left behind people on two different occasions and only had 29 of us traveling. Guide not familiar with tour places or directions without her Google map; which I could have done myself, Our tour group took care of each other vs the guide making sure things worked out. Positive was scenery was beautiful minus the dirty cities. Traveled Trafalgar Whirlwind 3 yrs prior and it was five stars. Sadly I give Expat Scenic 1 star.Show moreTrip date: July 2025- Michelle· June 12th, 2025Great time on this tour!! Scenery was amazing and all of the experiences were wonderfully orchestrated! Thank you to our tour guide Rachelle and Expat Tours. Wouldn't hesitate to book another tour!Show moreTrip date: May 2025

- Vince· July 24th, 2023Do not use tour radar and expat. False advertising. What they don’t tell you is 1) Hotels are old and no AC in most of them. 2) it’s only a orientation tour, no time to actually go inside most places you visit. Here is 4th largest church in the world but no you can’t go inside because there is not time. Same thing happened over and over. 3) Stupid rule about moving 4 rows every day in bus. You follow the rule and then get chastised when other people don’t follow the rule and start moving your stuff to a different seat because they think that is their seat. I could care less where I sit but don’t want to get in trouble just because others can’t count. I’m the bad guy right. Wrong. Even their stupid seating charts are wrong each day and no one follows it. 4) They make you think the optional dinners are great but don’t be fooled. You pay like $50 a person in cash non refundable and get to the restaurant and realize it’s crappy food and crappy atmosphere. Certainly not worth $50 a person. Plan your own vacation. You will be better off trust me. Little more work to research but worth it in the end. Expat and tour radar unwilling to refund any money even though we didn’t end up using their hotels for part of the nights because it was 90 degrees or more in the room and the hotel would not even provide a fan. Avoid expat and avoid tourradar.Show moreTrip date: July 2023

Asked on June 13th, 2025i am just wondering if it is possible to leave the tour after the Lucerne nights instead of continuing onto Paris as i need to stay in Switzerland thats the tour starting on June 1st 2026
Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written June 2025Yes, you're absolutely welcome to leave the tour after the Lucerne nights if you need to stay in Switzerland. While you're free to join or leave the tour at any stage, just keep in mind that you'll still be responsible for the full tour cost, even if you don't continue on to Paris.

Traveler•Written June 2025Will the bus were on have water to purchase? And it has a bathroom correct
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written June 2025
Yes, the coach used for your tour is a modern, air-conditioned vehicle equipped with an onboard toilet, though it's mainly intended for emergency use. Rest assured, the itinerary includes regular comfort stops, giving you the chance to use restrooms, stretch your legs, and pick up snacks or drinks along the way. While water may not always be available for purchase on board, we recommend bringing your own reusable bottle or buying water during these scheduled stops to stay refreshed and hydrated throughout the journey.

Asked on April 13th, 2025Are We supposed to book and pay for optional excursions before the trip or do we do that once the trip starts?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written April 2025
Unless an excursion is specifically marked as pre-booked, you can book all optional excursions once the tour begins. You'll be able to pay your tour leader directly, either in cash or by card (in the stated currency). Super easy and flexible!

Charles
Asked on March 27th, 2025Looking for a River Cruise that allows us to sleep on the ship. We would like to go in June for 5 to 10 days. Preferably in Europe our age is in the late 70's but we are very very active.
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written March 2025
Expat Explore does not offer dedicated river cruises where travelers sleep on board throughout the journey. Our tours primarily operate as land-based coach tours, with some including short scenic river cruises as part of the itinerary, while overnight stays are in hotels.

Leslie
Asked on March 25th, 2025Can you give me a daily breakdown please of the coach travel time plus how long is allocated in each stop per day? Can you give example names of hotels that may be used on this trip please?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written March 2025
We do not have the daily breakdown of the Travel Time and daily activity timings readily available for our customers. That info is reserved for the Tour Leader as a guide, which is prepared close to the departure. If you already have a confirmed booking, you may send us a message through that booking to ask for the Hotel List contracted for the tour.
