Editoral Review of Expat Explore
Since 2005, Expat Explore has been giving travelers once-in-a-lifetime experiences at budget friendly prices and at the highest quality possible. What first began as a few friends’ mutual passion for adventure has grown into 31 leaders guiding thousands of travelers around the world.
What Makes Expat Explore Stand Out?
- Multi-country itineraries
- Great value
- Over 50 tour programs
- Guaranteed departures (won’t cancel last minute if there aren’t enough people signed up)
- Price Beat Promise
Expat Explore is all about providing the highest quality travel experience at accessible prices. They operate coach tours, which include expert guided tours and activities along the way. Young, energetic tour leaders accompany every trip, keeping spirits high and making your trip as engaging and enjoyable as possible. They take a lot of pride in their affordable prices - in fact, if you find the same tour online for a lower price, they’ll beat it!
Who Travels With Expat Explore?
- Ages 28-35
- Budget travelers
While all ages are welcome on their tours, they are geared toward the younger demographic (the average age is 28-35). Groups tend to be large, so be prepared for that. (A typical group size will be 48 people). Trips are on the more inexpensive end, which means some details such as transfers and airfare are not included. Tours with Expat Explore are not physically demanding - but make sure you pack sneakers since walking tours are a typical part of the itinerary.
Top Destinations
- Europe
- Middle East & Africa
- USA & Canada
- Southeast Asia
Expat Explore tours began specializing in the UK and England, but over time they’ve expanded to offer trips around the world. Expect a balance between exploring the highlights and lesser-known places of each destination.
Expat Explore Travel Style
While not the most luxurious nor stylish, Expat Explore does well on catering to affordability and fun. Private coaches are generally used for transportation - equipped with reclining chairs, on-board toilets, air conditioning, and an entertainment system.
Accommodations sit in the 3 to 4 star range with ensuite bathrooms. Some trip itineraries have free days for you to explore on your own. It should be noted that transportation and meals are not included on those days.
Why Travel With Expat Explore?
For a unique and fun travel experience, Expat Explore is a great option. Especially if you’re a social person looking for a high energy tour, with a lot of fun activities to take part in along the way. Their experienced tour leaders are there to make your trip an unforgettable one.

History
Once upon a time, a young South African travelled to Paris on a very small budget. Walking and using public transport, he explored the city. On his last day in Paris his diminished funds left him with a choice – go to Disneyland or eat lunch. True to the travellers' spirit, he went to Disneyland!
Wanting to share his experiences, he started to take friends around Paris and joined forces with Jakes Maritz, another Expat. Together they founded a company which offers great value tours to people wanting that once in a lifetime experience. That person is Carel Cronje and the company is Expat Explore Travel.
Since 2005, Expat Explore Travel has been conducting expert-led coach tours to Europe and the UK. A company started by two South African travellers, Expat Explore grew out of their desire to share their knowledge and expertise with others. Expat has always had a focus on providing once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences at an accessible price, delivered at the highest quality possible.
Expat Explore has grown to offer not just tours of Europe but also Egypt, Turkey, Greece, and Croatia all with the same emphasis on top-notch travel at a competitive price.
