- Cranston· March 24th, 2025Gustavo the tour guide was amazing! He excelled in so many ways. Ernesto/Ermendo the driver was diligent, polite and very helpful with bags and loading. Also a safe professional driver. Restaurants were good. Hotels were not good and sometimes hard to tolerate. Also dragging our own bags in and out of the hotel a huge burden. This level of touring was a mistake. We just got off a Trafalgar tour and the quality and extras were much better. Particularly annoying was almost no kettles or tea making facilities in the hotels. This level of touring is not for me. I will be making an effort to see what extras are included next time.Show moreTrip date: March 2025
- ASAlexis Garcia· October 17th, 2024The destination cities and tour leader were great! Ricardo with Expat Explore was amazing and very knowledgeable about all of the places we visited. We did not miss out on any information. We did also get to experience a different perspective from various local guides as well. The hotel rooms began very good, as the tour went on the rooms were small and were older/ in need of a facelift/ repair. Unless you are paying for your own meals, the meals provided are not that great and honestly are a let down especially when you are trying to taste some of the cusine of Spain.Show more

- Stefania· September 9th, 2023The trip starts well, with good accommodation but the hotel quality goes down night after night. The restaurant choices of the included dinners were poor quality food and service, some feels like a rip off. Some of the guide recommendations were poor qualities venues too. The optional attractions were relatively well selected although some were clearly a rip off as the Tapas tour.

Joshua
Asked on May 21st, 2025Can you tell me what flight times are recommended from London to arrive on day 1 and depart on day 9? How do i book the Alhambra tour? how long is this?
Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written May 2025This tour starts at 10AM on Day 1 and the starting location is a Hotel on Madrid. You have to make sure that your flight from London arrives early on Day 1 which will allow you to meet at 10AM, or you can choose to arrive a day early. However, arriving a day early would mean that you will have to arrange your accommodation for that evening. On the Last Day of the tour, the group arrives back in Madrid at around 2:30 PM, so it is recommended to get an evening flight. The Alhambra Optional lasts for about 2 Hours and 30 Minutes up to 3 Hours. Once you have a confirmed booking, you need to request for it to be pre-booked for you at least 60 Days before the tour's start date.

Asked on November 25th, 2024Are we able to add extra days to the end of the trip? We'd like to spend more time in Madrid so we can go to the museums.

We unfortunately are not able to offer any customization to our tours. If you wish to stay longer in Madrid at the end of your Tour, you may do so but you would have to arrange the Accommodations.

Jorge
Asked on November 9th, 2024Where do these tours start and end? We live in Cyprus, will we need to get accomodation a night before tour start and a night when tour ends?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written November 2024
Our Highlights of Spain & Portugal Tour starts and ends at a Hotel in Madrid. The Hotel confirmations are done closer to the departure and we advise customers to check with us around 60 Days before their tour starts, to know the confirmed starting and end Hotel/location for their tour.

Jorge
Traveler•Written November 2024Will we have to book and pay for hotel accomodation before and after the tour as we have been on other tours and that was required as the tour usually starts early mornings and ends late at night. Flights to and from Madrid are not frequent from Cyprus. We also would like to know if there will be transport available from airport to hotel.
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written November 2024
While pre- and post-tour accommodation is not compulsory, it is highly recommended, as our tours do have early starts and may end late in the evening. Regarding airport transfers, we regret to inform you that we no longer provide this service. However, you can easily arrange transportation using public transport or book a transfer through Welcome Pickups, a convenient platform offering reliable services at competitive prices.

Asked on October 31st, 2024Can a minor aged 7 travel on the tour? What will be the room arrangements and pricing for 4 adults and 1 child?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written October 2024
Tour packages offer Twin Share Room with 2 persons per room. The 7th traveler will be assigned a room to share with another traveler of the same gender or can get a Private Room Upgrade for an added cost. However, due to tour activities and extensive walking, we have a minimum age limit of 10 years old and cannot allow children under 10 to join the tour.

Eric
Traveler•Written October 2024So it's a definite no for the minor?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written October 2024
We cannot allow children under 10 years old in our tours. Hotel details are available in the attached PDF, with the understanding that hotels may be subject to change due to operational issues.

Traveler•Written October 2024Can a child under 7 years old travel and share a room with one adult to get the double room rate? I mean by listing the child as an adult – is that possible?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written October 2024
Due to the nature of our tours being packed with activities and extensive walking, we have established a minimum age limit of 10 years old, as they may not be suitable for young children.

Asked on October 5th, 2024Send the names of the hotels for this tour
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written October 2024
At this stage, your departure is too far in advance for us to give you the confirmed hotel list for your tour. Due to the fact that our hotels are subject to change, we do not provide inaccurate information beforehand to minimize any confusion that may be caused. We therefore suggest reaching out roughly 90 days prior for this information.
