    Luke is a terrific tour guide! He clearly loves his job and is extremely good at all the details AND the human side of making sure everyone feels welcome, is having a good time and is taken care of. He made our tour of Scandinavia so much fun! Hope we get him as our guide again. He has a talent for giving the right amount of information, so you have a good sense of the history and culture but aren’t overwhelmed with dates and minutiae.

    Luke is a firework of a your leader! His ability to engage and entertain tour groups is the best I have ever seen. From topless karaoke to impromptu arctic swims, I have so many great memories. He is funny, kind, knowledgeable and generous, with the ability of making you feel important and seen. What more can you ask of a guide! Love Luke, will always be delighted to travel with him! ❤️

    I've now traveled to 68 countries with many different guides. None can come close to Luke's excellence. His exuberance, creativity, depth of knowledge, and personal attention to each member of his group pales all other leaders. Using WhatsApp, he was on call 24 hours a day. If someone felt lost or needed directions, Luke immediately sent written directions or a map with locations noted. He engaged with us having fun. I'd sign up for ExPat for a third trip just to experience Luke's leadership.

    Well Luke and saba ( sorry for spelling) were just the ideal hosts for travelling from Helsinki to Warsaw. Totally professional and also loved what they did. It showed in there organisation and relaxed way of telling us where , what and how to get around. Luke was knowledgeable on all areas of where we went. New names and places and the stories. I got a lot out of this trip. Such a pleasure to of met Luke and lucky he was put on our tour. Thanks so much. Chris

    Luke is excepțional tour leader. He made the tour went seamless, from start to finish. From getting in and out of the hotel, getting to different destination stops, to ferries, to tour stops. I would have not done this tour on my own due to the amount of planning and logistics involved. He is also fun and making dull moment bearable. Im just simply amaze of him.
