What people love about Mediterranean Tours for Seniors
- Best of the Balkans
Best of the Balkans cannot be more Thankful to Costsaver for giving us such an amazing itenarary and 9 day trip. We started our trip in Dubrovnik for 2 nights then on to Kotor, Budva ,Motsar Bosnia Heresogovina Sarajevo had a short stop at Jablianica and onto Split. We had the most fabulous Tour guide Tod
- Iberian Explorer
Our guide and driver were experts in every aspect of our trip. They made the excursion enjoyable, interesting and fun.
- Spain, Portugal & Morocco
A real busy trip if you take all the excursions you really better be prepared to be going all day. I would never travel in a group of 44 again, just to many personalities get involved, I would expect for Julian it was a nightmare. The trip itself was as I say great and my USB brain can only take so much and it was in overload trying to see everything and absorb it. The meals were OK some I wish i didn't try mainly in Morocco there were I would say 10 that had dysentery the last 3 days and it was I believe from one of our last dinner in Morocco. Spain and Portugal was amazing. I have gone on many trips, but if it wasn't for the guide I would say miss this trip
