Amazing Prague!
I had a great well-rounded experience for my first time in Europe! The itinerary was perfect for someone who was also working while on trip. Tour leader Sem and driver Ferenc ensured a stress-free, enjoyable trip. I had a great time exploring, eating and meeting new people. Can't wait to book another tour!

Nordkette mountain experience
It's definitely fast paced but incredibly efficient so a ton of different experiences were packed in! It's a great option for people who have never been to central/eastern Europe and want to see the best of a variety of cities. Even though the time spent in each place was limited, I felt that I was able to get a really comprehensive taste of culture and see the things most worth seeing. Our guide Emma was fantastic, entertaining, knowledgeable, approchable, and super friendly. She went above and beyond to accommodate us and ensure we were comfortable. I'm generally a very shy and reserved person and even I felt very comfortable with asking her questions and getting to know her. She was able to give really interesting insights into the culture and history of each place and you can tell she is incredibly passionate about what she does. She anticipated our needs and gave us tips to navigate transit, currency, and communication with locals so that everything ended up going incredibly smoot

The entirety of the tour was very satisfying for the price. Fast paced, but well organized. Our group enjoyed the taste of every place we visited. We had the chance to take photos of every place and every experience during the tour. We like the way ExpatExplore orient and teach the travelers how to avail of public transportation. Our tour leader (Emma) was sooo amazing. She's sooo good in everything. She's patient and accommodating, our driver (Martin) was sooo good. He drove the bus safely and smoothly 'til we snoozed (we needed it badly). A+ and big hoorays to both of them. Thank you so much to both of them. Thanks a lot also ExpatExplore for giving us this wonderful experience! We're proud to be a part of your growing family!

Great Show in Austria
Starting and ending in Munich provided ample time to see and taste the culture and cuisine of this Germany city. Then off to Austria, Innsbruck, birth place of Mozart and then Vienna. Taking the entertainment option to hear a concert, opera and watch a couple of ballet dancers up close was fantastic. The hotel Roomz had changed locations and is one of the best hotels that we have stayed in our seven excursions with Expat Explore. Budapest was charming and comfortable. Walking tours have been very informative and easy to keep pace with. Also the river cruises have enjoyable and scenic. Tasting all of the different foods has been delightful and delicious. Seeing the old city of Prague provided clarity to the age and architectural evolution that this city has experienced.

The best way to taste Europe when you are confused which country to prioritize. Did enjoy everyday with the group, though more hours spent on the bus, but it doesn't matter as everything was well organized. Looking forward for another trip with Expat Explore family. ❤️

Even though this is one of the shortest tours on offer, a lot of places were packed into 8 days and a lot of places were visited and lots of amazing sights were seen! I especially liked the Austrian part of the trip and experiencing a taste of the rich culture of that country. If you are short of time but still want to see a lot interesting things then this is the tour for you!
