Fantastic Europe Tour!
This tour was a lifetime experience. We were fortunate enough to have a smaller group with the absolute best tour leader and coach driver.
MTV
It was incredibly amazing!!! Unforgettable experience!
Not much really except for the hotel that didn't hot water in the morning! Brrrr!!!?. In addition to that, the drainage in the shower was clog/very slow drainage. Since we were only staying one night, I didn't let the hotel know.
Mm
Amazing
Worth every penny, transport, food and the priceless experience are well worth the trip. Thank you to your staff Gabi and Itzi for their hospitality and compassion.
Josie
We had Gabi as our tour guide and Isti as our driver. They are both amazing. It was our first time in a tour and they gave as a very good impression of how the tour would be. This will be the beginning of more tour with Expat. The restaurants that we went to had a very good and delicious food. We are so happy.
Sandra & Al
Our tour was the Classic Europe in July 2024. Like to start off by saying our tour guide Kev was fantastic, very informative even before the tour began. He knew his stuff well and we felt very comfortable and safe with Kev and Gabby our excellent bus driver. Kev was organized and always knew how to solve any unforeseen challenges that came up. He took into consideration the people on the tours needs and was very caring and approachable and would help anyway he could. The hotels, the places, the stops we made were all amazing, hotels were great, bus ride was fun - there are no words to describe how wonderful this trip was a dream come true. Was not keen on a bus tour but so glad we tried it.
Cherise
Our European Summer Tour was a once in a lifetime experience. Each country was just as beautiful as the next with breathtaking views. It was the perfect option for our honeymoon! Truly a wonderful experience and adventure!

This tour is probably as good as it gets to experience a taste of Europe! And all at a reasonable cost! Everything thing about the tour was well done! Our Tour Leader Kevin, did an outstanding job in organizing everything, keeping everything on track, and all the while, being totally professional, helpful, accommodating, positive, upbeat, and totally pleasant to work with! He went out of his way on everything, to make sure that we were getting the trip that we had all hoped for. Thank you Kevin! We also had an outstanding coach driver by the name of Florentine who handled that massive coach like it was just a regular automobile! He was such a professional, everyone could rest easy on the drives. Thank you Florentine! So to sum it all up, I consider it a great experience at a very reasonable price!
KB & BB

Charlie
What an excellent way to see part of Europe when time is limited - The itinerary includes the iconic views that are part of folklore in UK, France, Switzerland, Italy, Nederland and passes through Austria, Germany and Belgium stopping along the way for informative city visits. Very impressed with the overall standard of accommodation, choice of optional tours and recommended meal providers, whilst the highest accolades must go to the Tour Leader and Coach driver, for without their knowledge and skill, the tour would not have enjoyed the happy and convivial atmosphere that made my experience so memorable.
Nathanlyn F.
This tour is the PERFECT taste of Europe. If you have never been to Europe, then THIS tour is where you must start. In 14 days we saw and experienced so much. This tour was a graduation gift to my daughter Tierra. Our tour guide Kevin Screene is a true Expert. He guided us with such care and extreme knowledge. He always recommended the Best places in each city. Making this tour one to remember. I'm so sad it has ended. My daughter and I created memories we will NEVER forget! Looking at my next tour now.

All travellers carry their own bags, including up hotel stairs where needed. Walking tours can last up to three hours, and some sites involve a fair number of steps. Read through the itinerary to decide if the pace is right for you.
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.

For accommodation, solo travellers share a twin room with another solo traveller of the same gender. If you’d prefer your own room, you can choose to pay a single supplement instead.

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