    Nice but too too busy

    Doesn't let you stop and smell the roses, rushing from one city to another. Wish it was designed a bit slow paced to let people enjoy the true essence of Italy and breathe a bit. Included lunches and dinners are nice but only pasta, hope more varieties are included.

    So much more to see and do than listed

    Our tour guide Leti was beyond amazing. Her knowledge, energy, helpfulness, and the extras she helped facilitate made this trip so much more!!! We saw places and things we didn't even know were on the tour as well as the extra time and experiences Leti provided to take this trip over and far beyond any expectations we had. I am so grateful for this amazing trip and the memories I have of this beautiful country.

This was my first tour with Expat and I really enjoyed it. Yasmin out tour guide was very friendly and super organised and was able to offer us lots of great recommendations for places to visit or eat at in our free time. It is a very fast paced trip, lots of hours on the bus but lots of great sights to experience in Italy. As a solo traveller it was a real pleasure to have so many kind and friendly fellow travellers to spend time with and create memories together. A big thumbs up from me 👍

This tour is amazing for seeing the main highlights of Italy. A lot is packed into the tour and the days are long but so much fun. The people on our tour were amazing from the tour leader... to the driver ... and all the fellow travellers. By the end we felt like one big family

An amazing tour, from the Roman ruins to the Vatican and the incredible city of Venice, every place we visited exceeded our expectations! Our tour leader Vinni was knowledgeable and passionate about Italy. His quick wit and often sarcastic sense of humour were seriously infectious and made us fall in love with him immediately. Vinni took the time to get to know us. He offered expertise on places to see, restaurants to try, best gelato stops, and so much more. He taught us how to cross the busy streets of Rome without getting killed, use the metro or navigate the bus/ tram systems confidently. Thanks to Vinni, we quickly became a tight knit group and were left with many wonderful friendships at the end. Not to be forgotten, our driver Franco's most competent driving skills blew our minds. Franco made us feel safe while expertly navigating the narrow streets, hairpin turns, and tight parking spaces. Expat explore is a great company that takes the time to provide the best experiences to t

I now have the 'travel bug' thanks to my first ever Expat tour! I had a dream of what travelling too and seeing Italy would be like and this experiences exceeded my expectations. Our guide was organised, knowledgeable and professional! Italy itself is paradise. From Rome and it's history (I will never get sick of seeing the Colosseum), to the Venetian canals, rolling hills in Tuscany, dipping my toes into the very cold mediterranean Sea at Cinque Terre, Lake Garda boat rides, photo fun in Pisa, exploring this history and ruins of Pompeii, the stunning Amalfi and Sorrento coast line and every stopover in between, we saw it ALL! My only regret is that I didn't book this tour sooner! Thank you Expat for a once in a lifetime experience!

The tour is conducted in a well organized manner. The specifics of each location is well explained by the tour leader. Have to specially mention Martina , our tour leader who makes sure each one of us are comfortable. Always cheerful and with a positive attitude. Over all a memorable experience.

Beautiful sites and scenery
" Best vacation ever", is what we keep repeating over and over to friends, family and coworkers. Expats Italian Delights 12 day tour Itinerary to Italy was everything we could have imagined and more. It checked off all the boxes for sites, food and accommodations, guide and driver. Marty was our absolutely energetic and fantastic guide, who amazingly was able to meet all the needs of 50 people from all ages and walks of life effortlessly with her down to earth charm, knowledge base, professionalism and organisational skills. Our driver Dario was experienced and kept us safe and on time throughout the entire tour. I cannot say enough about these two individuals, except that Expat is a very fortunate company to have them on board! They certainly made our trip of a lifetime possible!!! We were also blessed to be grouped with the best individuals that anyone could possibly imagine meeting and spending time with from all over the world. I have definitely made some lifelong friends and will

This was my 3rd tour with Expat. Every one has been awesome & it's not possible to find a better value for the price. Roma was our guide & she was incredible. She was knowledgeable, funny, and absolutely perfect for the position. Looking forward to tour number 4 next year.

This is a fast paced multi city tour of Italy. The bus travel was an easy option, no lugging suitcases from train to hotel, as the bus provided door to door service. The driver Dario was top notch and the tour guide Kevin was the best we could hope for. Friendly, informative, caring and entertaining. Both were exceptional. Kevin guided us thru many destinations and he was a wealth of information. The itinerary had a great mix of cultural and culinary delights and had enough free time to enjoy beaches and shopping. We enjoyed many of the supplementary excursions and didn't feel pressed for time. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, our first thru Expat, but not our last!
