An unforgettable trip from start to finish!
I absolutely loved this tour! I had previously completed the Northern Explorer tour and had always hoped to visit Auschwitz. When I discovered that the Eastern Highlights tour included Auschwitz in the itinerary, I was ecstatic. After comparing several group tours, this one was the perfect fit. I was flying from Minnesota into Munich, and the flight options worked much better for me. There are not many convenient flights from Minnesota to Poland, and since I had already visited Poland before, I didn't want to take a tour focused only on Poland. This itinerary gave me the chance to explore several countries while also visiting one of the places I most wanted to see. One of the highlights of the trip was our tour leader, Dora Jokkel. She went above and beyond every day and handled all of the logistics with care and professionalism. Dora is truly an incredible person. She was knowledgeable, organized, supportive, and always available when anyone needed help. I genuinely feel that having

Fantastic tour
Great cities, great food, great sights and a wonderful tour leader - Dora. We had the best group - lots of like-minded travellers who enjoyed each other's company and made the most of the experiences on offer. Lots of 2 night stays so the pace wasn't too frenetic. My favourite city was Krakow and the most memorable experience was Auschwitz.

Fast paced, well balanced, soul nourishing
If you're looking for a well balanced, yet fast paced taste of Eastern (central) Europe. This is a phenomenal way to do it. Everything is well thought through, the included tours and experiences were great for the price paid. And with the optional extras and friends you make, you can set the rest of the pace of your holiday.

Tour guide Mika was fabulous. Informative, funny, just a lovely girl
Wanderer R

Be prepared for doing a lot of walking and getting up early, but well worth it.
Jim

We had an awesome time on this tour. It was non stop from the start. Europe is absolutely beautiful country, very clean except for the graffiti here and there. I would highly recommend this tour. There is so much packed into 10 short days. Our tour guide Michalina G.was a well versed guide she was excellent. All the countries were spectacular, the Auschwitz's tour was sad, but an eye opening experience. Highly recommend the night dinner cruise buffet on the Danube River.
Nicky

I thought the itinerary was really well designed! You get to see a lot! Poland was the highlight for me - visiting Auschwitz, Krakow - a vibrant, charming city, and the salt mine. Can be fast-paced especially towards the end but it is expected being a highlights tour. We had the flexibility to explore on our own when we had free days. Our tour leader was super organised and our driver really went above and beyond to make our coach ride comfortable and fun! I did a different tour with another company last year, this was definitely better and will book again with Expat!

This was my third ExpatExplore trip and it was well worth it. Central and Eastern Europe is stunning beyond words. The trip consisted of a variety of options that my family and I all enjoyed. It is clear EE put a lot of thought into making the best tour possible. Even the local guides were a highlight as they were informative AND funny. As a teacher, many trips are not affordable on my budget. With Expat Explore, I get the most for a very reasonable price. Like I stated, this was my third trip—I will be going on more.
