What people love about Europe Tours from Bucharest
- Balkan Capitals (38 destinations)
Most things were excellent, Indi our special guide became a friend. I didn’t like the Hollywood hotel in Sarajevo, it was noisy and the room didn’t smell good. One small thing that would be better would be if we always got 2 keys to the rooms. Some of the hotels only have us 1. Otherwise a very well organised tour, the itinerary was excellent.
- Balkan Heritage From Dracula's Castle to Ancient Athens - Small Group Tour
My wife and I had an amazing time on this Balkan Heritage tour! From the fascinating Dracula’s Castle in Romania to the ancient wonders of Athens, every stop was unforgettable. We especially loved the beautiful monasteries of Meteora and the charming towns we visited. The guides were knowledgeable and made the experience even better. It was a perfect trip for us, and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and immersive adventure!
That was an awesome tour, I highly recommend. I love Europe, I will do it again and again. Thanks George for everything.
