What people love about Europe Tours in April
- Europe Jewel
Most amazing tour ever! Sarah being the sweetest tour guide managed to shed good advises for each and every stops. Would also remind us on the do(s) and don't (s) which as a tourist that's what needed most. Despite on certain stops in Italy, our lodgings were somewhat not as pleasant. However, in terms of the overall trip - it wasn't a grossly overturning point after all. Would definitely recommend to all friends who wished to have the best of both worlds "maximum of happiness + valuable trip"
- Semi-Private Balkans Tour; From Athens to Sarajevo or Belgrade
I loved the tour and everything was amaizing. The stuff was so friendly and the tour guide too
- Small Group Tour: 7 Balkan Countries from Athens to Dubrovnik or Split
