Long Europe tours to make the most of long flights


While travelling is filled with so much joy and excitement, one of the downsides of faraway adventures has to be long, uncomfortable, and often expensive flights. Australian and Canadian travellers know this all too well! When you’ve made the journey all the way to Europe, it only makes sense to stay longer or explore multiple destinations within the continent.

That’s why Expat Explore has designed a range of long tours (up to 26 days) to help you make the most of your long-haul European holidays!
