Beauty everywhere!
We had a great time traveling with fellow expats! Our tour leader, Inga and driver, Victor were exceptionally good and personable! They are true professionals at what they do! This is my third trip with Expat Explore because I enjoy making the most of my time and am able to see the highlights of each area with the group and helpful tips for my free time to make the best vacation possible!

I had an amazing time on this tour. Emma O. was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had everything they needed. She checked in each morning with everyone to see how they were doing and feeling and she actually cared and genuinely wanted everyone to have a great time. It was amazing to get to see how excited she got about showing us around all these different countries. This is a very fast paced tour so it may not be for everyone but it seemed like everyone of all ages enjoyed themselves. Damien is an absolutely amazing driver. I have a fear of driving in the mountains and he is such a safe and skilled driver I never once felt afraid. He went out of his way to make sure some nights we had a ride back to the hotel from different city centers even if one wasn't initially scheduled. I will definitely book a tour like this again. Thank you for such an amazing and safe trip!
