    My Expat Explore Experience I had a very enjoyable experien

    My Expat Explore Experience I had a very enjoyable experience on the Expat Explore Helsinki to Warsaw tour. The itinerary was interesting, well organized. I would definitely consider travelling with Expat Explore again. My only difficulty was with my roommate. On one evening in Vilnius, I returned to the hotel at around 9.30 pm after joining an organised tour. As the room was completely dark, I switched on one light near the door so I could find my clothes and toiletries and take a shower. My roommate felt that I was inconsiderate for disturbing her sleep. Later that night, she woke me because my snoring was disturbing her. I had already been trying my best to be quiet and considerate, but unfortunately snoring is not always something one can control. The next morning, she complained to our guide, who handled the matter fairly and arranged separate rooms for us for some of the remaining nights. I appreciated the guide's efforts to resolve the situation. I understand that sharing

    Awesome Tour

    I enjoyed this tour as a solo traveller. The cities visited, the places where we had lunches were all amazing. Will, our tour leader was very organized- he provided us with advance and sufficient information through WhatsApp, FB page and Chat group, so that we were all on the same page and knew what to expect each day. He is also not a boring tour leader. We love his jokes which were relative to the countries we were visiting. We also had a taste of some liquor produced in the Baltic states with lots of stories behind them. Accommodations were good. I liked the Radisson Blu hotels in Helsinki and Warsaw and the Hampton by Hilton in Gdansk. The tour went smoothly and we all had a great time.
