Great experience on historical and beautiful places to see
This epic tour of a lifetime was made possible by our magnificent tour leader, Mayra Arboledo and driver, Sam, who treated us like family and kept us safe. They were so professional and efficient in delivering a wonderful tour experience of this magnitude. I highly recommend this tour especially under the supervision of Mayra and the great driving of Sam. They are both amazing. I would love to have them on my next Expat tour if possible.

A wonderful family holiday
Our holiday with our family of eight people ranging in age from 10 years to elderly was an amazing experience. The tour was jam packed with highlights and every minute accounted for. We cannot praise Mayra - our Tour Director and Sam - our Bus Driver enough. Their kindness, efficiency, expertise and experience were second to none and made for a positive and warm experience. We had a lovely group of fellow passengers who added to our enjoyment with their caring and happy personalities.

European Vistas
This trip was an absolute dream from start to finish, but what truly made it unforgettable was the incredible team taking care of us. Our tour guide, Mayra, was an absolute rockstar her deep knowledge, infectious energy, and passion brought every single destination to life in the most magical way. A massive shoutout to our phenomenal driver, Sam, who navigated every twist and turn with total ease, keeping us safe, comfortable, and always on schedule with a smile. Be prepared for a fast-paced itinerary with early mornings and late nights, which is exactly why this trip offers such incredible value for money, you truly get to see and do it all! However, if you aren't quite ready to commit to a non-stop, "go-go-go" 8-day experience, I would definitely suggest looking into a longer tour with them or reaching out to their customer service team for guidance on finding the perfect pace for you. Between the breathtaking sights, the flawless organisation, and the wonderful company, this was

Expat knows what they are offering, they are the most most reliable once when it comes to keeping up to thier promise . Tour Leader Ms Gabriela was Fantastic in conducting the team . I Will surely take their assistance again in future for my Family Tour Plan without any doubt .
Lolit

Tam

Our tour guide Marysol was awsome I wish we had more time in Paris and Switzerland. They were very excellent locations and I wanted more time in those.
Jun

Sam and Henryk are the best tour driver and tour leader. Very impressive tour. Highly recommended.
Mika

I am in total awe of this vacation tour. Although, you only briefly visited 7 countries, Expat did a wonderful job. You were able to visit sights in each country that were absolutely breathtaking. I recommend this tour to any one that would like to sample a few European countries to determine where they would like to have longer stays in the future. Henryk and Sam were the BEST!!!!!!!!
Stephanie

This tour is perfect if you're looking for a taste of these countries! It's a wonderful opportunity to get a quick experience and feel of perhaps which countries you'd like to go back to see! We were able to see so many beautiful sights and to really take in the amazing culture each country offered. I can't believe I was able to see so much in such a short amount of time.
Melai the explorer

Amazing experienced! Thank you to our expert and kind driver Sam, and to our great and caring tour leader Luke.
Julius Bachez

It was a magnificent tour, always a pleasure travelling with expat, it is now my third trip in Europe with the company and I loved every trip.
Hey you!

This was ideal as an entree' to give a small taste of Europe! The tour covered a lot if ground in short period. The draw back depending on how you may look at it was that always not enough time to emmerse in any given location. But provide foundation for planning the next adventure. The bus and driver, Pascal were exceptional and he was unflapable in any given situation. Impressive. Marysol our guide was organised, thorough and maintained the tight schedule and manage the collective of diverse individuals tactfully. Would I do an extend tour, probably not. However, as a preplanning excercise the length of this tour was ideal and would utilise it again for different locations.
Corrie

Absolutely loved the European vista. This is a FULL Action packed adventure!! The rooms were not fancy. But always clean and comfortable. The entire tour was fabulous. Tour leader korina was exceptional! And our driver Sadar was very good. Always felt safe and always on time.

Optional Experiences happen during your tour's free-time slots, and your Tour Leader will tell you about what's on offer during the tour. Most can be booked on the day, but some are pre-sold and must be purchased before your tour begins, so it's worth checking the tour page beforehand to see what's available and get in touch with our team to book anything in advance.

You might arrive alone. You won't feel that way for long.
