My daughter said this was the best trip she’s ever had with classmates and teachers. She lived learning and being hands on! Thank you!

Olivia, Thank you for sharing your daughter's experience with us.

This was our second trip with this group. The trips were very different but both were amazing! Each day Becky and Taree planned a couple of different cultural experiences. Whether it was a history museum, an art museum, a bike ride in the country side or city, a canal cruise or a cooking class they made sure there was something for everyone to enjoy. I really like that many of the meals are included as it provides opportunity for the travelers to get to know each other. And the hotels are top notch too. We will definitely be traveling with Explore Europe Tours, LLC again soon!

This was my first trip since the outbreak of the pandemic. It was nice to travel with people from my area, especially with a few I knew. Becky and Taree really work hard to deliver a great experience at a reasonable cost, and they really care to ensure folks are able to enjoy their trip. When I suggested we go see the ABBA concert, they made that happen and added it into the trip plans! I enjoyed this "adult only" trip more than the earlier one where we travelled with students--it was nice that everyone was able to take care of themselves and got themselves to where they needed to be so the trip didn't snag. This trip also had a lot of "free time" built into it, and I liked being able to do some things at my own pace...although it could be daunting to narrow down what I wanted to do the most! I also really liked that Becky & Taree took care of the organized tipping--it was wonderful to not be nickle & dimed on the trip!

Ward, Thank you for joining us on this tour. It was a joy to travel with you. You can recommend any concert you like in our future travels.

This was a trip to remember. Holland the land of windmills, art and cheese was a delight. So was our local guide Marike. Our group was a good mix and easy to travel with throughout the tour. The overnight ferry from Holland to England was a favorite part of the tour for me.

By for Netherlands and England on Aug 05, 2023

This trip had a variety of activities, sites and food that I enjoyed tremendously! Not a dull moment. Marike was very generous with her knowledge and was warm and hospitable. What a memory that will last forever. I'm looking forward to the next adventure.
