Marlene
Traveler•Written April 2025We are only responsible for international flight right? The rest modes of transfer from country to country and city to city is all included in the tour, am I correct?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written April 2025
Yes, once you join the tour on Day 1 and until the travelers are dropped off at the end of the tour, the group will be using our own Coach/Bus when transferring from 1 location to another. Although, customers may have to use Public or Private Transport at own expense, during Free Days if you travel around and explore on your own. As you are already beyond the Age Limit for our tours, we would like to share that it is still okay to join the tour but you have understand the nature of the tour. We believe the best way to get to the heart and soul of a city is on foot, surrounded by the people and the culture. For this reason, we do walking tours through most of the cities we visit. Many of the cities you visit are vast and old, often with steps and cobblestones. Our walking tours can last up to 3 hours with plenty of opportunities to take photographs and soak up the history of these fascinating places, but you do require a certain level of fitness to enjoy your tour to its fullest.

Asked on March 29th, 2025How much would the supplement cost if I want my own room please ?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written March 2025
The single supplement upgrade is limited and subject to availability, so if you could provide your preferred tour date, we'll be happy to check the cost for you. The amount varies depending on the tour.

Asked on March 27th, 2025If three people book, can the third person stay in the same room with the other two travelers?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written March 2025
Rooms on our tours are typically arranged as twin-share (two people per room). Most European hotels do not offer triple rooms, so the third traveler would need to be paired with another traveler of the same gender or opt for a single supplement upgrade for a private room.

Bonnie
Traveler•Written April 2025Hi, I noticed it ends in Rome, but will there be time to view a few attractions before the flight leaves? Also, I have a family member with a slight fear of heights. During the Germany route to the castle, will we be journeying with narrow roads on an incline up hills/mountains?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written April 2025
At the end of the tour, the itinerary is technically just a drive back to Rome from Sienna and the Tour Ends upon arrival in Rome which is around 11AM depending on traffic. Our Tour Package does not include flights so it will be up to your end on what time you booked your flight back. If it is at a later time, then you can still explore Rome however way you wish to. Or you can also get the Optional that allows you to stay 2 more nights in Rome. Rome Add-on Post-tour Extend your stay in Rome by two nights with accommodation, breakfast, dinner, a walking tour of Rome and services of tour leader included.

Asked on August 8th, 2024What is the maximum number of travels are allowed on a Best of Western Europe tour in July? Is the passport process lengthy when visiting numerous countries? I have never traveled internationally, so this may seem to be a dumb question.
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written August 2024
Our Best of Western Europe is part of a longer Tour (Best of Europe) and it serves as the first leg while the second leg is the Best of Eastern Europe Tour. Our Team allocates seats for the Larger Tour and each leg to ensure that the total number of Travelers per leg (plus longer tour) is at 48 Max. For Passport Process during arrival for each country, it should not take too long for customs to check the details if a traveler does not need a Visa to enter that country.

Ron
Asked on July 19th, 2024Can the Hotel rooms be upgraded?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written July 2024

Naomi
Asked on June 23rd, 2024I'm interested in extra excursions available. I'm interested in extending the stay to see Scottland and or Ireland prior to the trip.
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written June 2024
We do not have the capacity to assist our customers with Flights as we are a Tour Operator and not a Travel Agency. Flights are not included in our Tour Packages and that is one the things that customers will have to arrange on their end.
