    Amazing experience, all round!

    We had a wonderful time exploring the UK. The itinerary balanced free time for exploration with guided activities well. The accommodation and meals were great. Our tour leader hosted us very well, and we enjoyed making new friends from across the world. Highly recommended; I want to do another round and take a few friends with me!

    Busy, fun tour

    This tour gave us a great overview of the UK. We covered a lot of ground and experienced a lot. As expected, there were some long driving days, but they broke up the bus time with sightseeing and photo stops. The included breakfasts and dinners were all very good. It was nice to stay two nights in Edinburgh instead of moving every day.

We had one of the best 7 day tour experience. The itinerary is packed and theres losts to see (culturally and historically). Our tour guide Peter is kind, knowledgeable, and funny, lots of games and trivias on the bus so its never a boring ride, also our driver is very helpful and kind. The countries, towns, cities weve visited were all charming, medieval, and magical like stepping into the world of harry potter (if you're a fan like us) and outlander (if you'r into history) . If you want to see real life HP locations, booked this tour. The places we see, the food, the hotels were all amazing, 5 stars for this tour.

This tour was everything I could ask for! I wanted to spend my 40th birthday in the UK, it's my favorite place to visit so I invited 3 other friends. We all loved the tour! Our guide Peter W was so helpful, patient, & sincere! He was re-titled our Tour Master & Rob, the driver was re-titled Coach Master & has superb driving skills. Rob was very sweet, humble, & genuine! Hotels were good but some didn't have air conditioning, while we were on the tour it was warm, dare I say warmer than usual but it was nice the Sun was out & it was cool in the evenings. If its warm some hotels provided fans. The itinerary was perfect for me too, we went to places I never knew about & wouldn't think to visit. The countries have so much history, lovely scenery, cute homes, & I loved the drives in the countryside. If you didn't get cash Barclay's & HSBC don't charge an international transaction fee, helpful tip from our Tour Master Peter! I will absolutely do another tour with Expat if I can have the sam

The tour was fantastic. I strongly recommend this tour to anyone looking for comprehensive coverage of England, Scotland and Wales at a reasonable pace and budger friendly. Our tour leader Peter Woodman was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, really funny, patient and overall a kind soul. Major shout out to our driver Chris as well. I'll be staying with Expat going forward!

From the moment we were picked up to the moment we were dropped off it felt like we were in capable hands. We had plenty of time at each of the stops on tour and when we opted out of some optionals to go see something not on the tour, our tour leader helped us navigate those as well. Coach was very comfortable as were the hotels. Tour leader Lee was the BEST tour leader we could have ever asked for. He helped history come alive for us and was also hilarious! We definitely plan on taking another trip with expat and our only hope is to get Lee as a tour leader again. Until next time!

This was the absolute best vacation we have ever been on. Expat makes it easy and you don't have to worry about the day to day issues. We had plenty of time at each of the stops and it was super easy to go see other areas not on the tour by opting out of a few optionals and going off on our own with helpful instructions from our tour leader. We definitely plan on going on another tour and just hope it's even remotely possible to get the same tour leader because he was AMAZING.

As a first time tour trip, I was blown away. Lee and Chris are incredible. Chris is a master driver and Lee is the most amazing storyteller and guide. We ended up just loving every day. The tour was seemless land we were able to relax and enjoy Scotland, Wales and Bath in particular.

Thanks to Lee for his extensive knowledge on the United Kingdom. We learned new things that only a local person would know, and we laughed at the stories as you broadened our perspective.. You have such a great heart. All the great memories will be a blessing. Thank you to all the travellers who also enlightened our experiences. Our driver, Chris, is top-notch and always had our safety in mind. Such a great guy.

Very personable and knowledgeable tour guide, food and accommodations were excellent, this trip was absolutely magical for me. It was my 40th birthday and I was engaged on this tour- our tour guide Lee and driver Chris helped to orchestrate the special surprise engagement with my fiance! Such a wonderful crew!!

This was my first time in an Expat tour and also first time by myself so it was a really wonderful and positive experience to have Lee as our leader and Craig as your safekeeper. Lee was aware of everyone and made sure that all of us felt safe and comfortable in the bus, at the hotel or during the experiences. I'll gladly take another Expat tour.

I have always wanted to visit the UK and my dreams of doing so became reality! The countryside of Scotland and England were everything I hoped they would be and more. Our tour was so much fun and Craig, Lee and the other tour mates just made it that much better! Would highly recommend this tour!
