Here at Expat Explore, we have been making travel possible for over 15 years; taking travellers to amazing destinations across Europe and the rest of the world. While we have seen unprecedented changes and challenges for the travel industry over the last year, we are more committed than ever to making travel possible for everyone! We want to give you confidence and peace of mind when booking your next overseas trip.

Our team understands that people may feel concerned about making a future booking while there is still some uncertainty around international travel. To help give you booking confidence during this time of uncertainty, we have added some new features to our tour bookings process. 

You may be wondering,  “why should I book a trip for the future now?” The answer: To make the wait until international travel is open once again a little bit easier! We find that having something to look forward to helps make the wait much more pleasant! 

We are all about hassle-free travel and these features will help you out, giving you the flexibility to postpone or cancel your booking should you need to. 

This is how we help you book with confidence:

• Flexible date changes

As an Expat Explore traveller, you are able to change your coach tour departure date as many times as you wish, for any reason. These changes are made with no amendment administration fees (as long as the departure date is more than 45 days away and 60 days if there is an internal flight).

• 30-Day money-back guarantee

If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that life can be unpredictable! If you have booked a tour and find that you need to cancel, you can rest assured that you have 30 days to change your mind. Simply let the team know and you will receive a full refund of all payments made until that point. 

Please note: Full payment is required 45 days prior to departure at which point the offer expires. 

• Only pay the rest 45-days before you depart on your trip

We understand that holidays can be pricey! To help give you peace of mind when booking,  all you need to pay is a small deposit and you’ll lock in your tour price! You can book now and pay the rest later. The remaining balance is only due 45 days before you begin your Expat Explore tour and you are free to pay off the rest in instalments. This gives you plenty of time to plan your finances for your trip!
