This was an amazing experience. It can be a bit overwhelming If you haven"t traveled much. The bus is very comfortable. We did not have a bad hotel room. Matter of fact our favorite was the rustic chalet in Switzerland. We loved our guide Filip. Filip was a ball of knowledge. He also has a sweet tooth just like me !!!! He made sure everyones questions were answered. His concern for our safety went above and beyond. He's top notch to us. Alex the driver has the hardest job. We felt vey safe with him. His driving skills are incredible. Filip & Alex made got along well and kinda picked on each other and of course we all joined in and it was FUN on the bus.. Also I want to mention the rest stops along the way. UNBELIEVABLE food... And breakfast everyday was an A#. Would do a tour with Expat again although not as long for us.....
