- DDreena· July 4th, 2024In May I took the Balkan Essentials 7 Days Tour (Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Croatia). Coming from Canada, I arrived in Belgrade, Serbia several days ahead of the tour to overcome jet lag; a good decision so I would be ready to start the tour well-rested. The tour was really amazing! Although it was short, it was filled with everything I wanted to see. And it was done at a good pace. There is so much beauty in the countries I visited and I hope one day to return. All the hotels in which I stayed were very good. The hotel breakfasts were excellent. Don't miss out on the great variety offered. Balkan breakfasts fill you up for the entire day! My guide, Veljko, was professional, knowledgeable, organized, and a nice man. I'm pleased he was my guide/driver. As I was the only person on the tour, at first I was a bit nervous - but that quickly passed the moment I met him. Communications from the tour company pre- and post-tour were excellent. Hvala/Thank you to everyone from the agency; the trip was very special!Show more

There was only 7 of us including my family of 4, so it felt very personal. All the places visited were so beautiful and full of history with strong Austrio-Hungarian and Ottoman influences. I feel particularly that Bosnia is very underrated, it was nice for there not to be loads of tourists, but I feel more people should visit it. We booked the 4* hotel package and they were all centrally located in each area and very comfortable. The tour guides we had were Vladimir then Marco, who were both extremely professional, knowledgable, attentive and had great command of English. They even arranged local tour guides for Sarajevo, Mostar and Dubrovnik to deliver more in-depth information which was useful. We had a comfortable bus with AC and Wi-Fi, with plenty of stops on long journeys. Passing through borders was quick and no problem at all. My tour highlights were visiting Sarajevo which is so unique, trying the very hearty local cuisine, having a small group and you get to know each other and the guide quite well, we booked the optional speedboat tour in Montenegro which I’d recommend doing and got to go for a dip with some wine in the sea! I’d highly recommend this tour to everyone. There’s no rigorous walks so it is accessible to all ages. If sensitive to the heat, it might be worth avoiding the peak of summer which is 35 degrees celsius. In Mostar in Bosnia, it can easily go up to 40 degrees. I definitely would return to this area and thanks once again to the tour company for giving me a highly memorable, fun and professional trip!Show moreBalkan and more commented on this reviewDear Chada, thanks a lot for such a lovely review!

The tour itself was amazing, very good route, good way to see all the main things and learn a ton about the region’s history in 1 week. The tour guide Milos was amazing. Ton of knowledge, flexible, went the extra mile to make sure I was getting everything I needed out of this experience.
