- Suzanne· November 20th, 2023If you are looking for an in-depth, small group, cultural tour with stunning scenery of these amazing Balkan countries, then this is just the tour you have been looking for! Right from when we booked, we were kept informed by George of anything that arose. Liviu is an awesome tour leader/guide/driver. He is passionate and knowledgeable about the history of all the countries/cities/towns/fortresses that we visited on our tour. The people that we met throughout the tour were all so friendly and welcoming, the weather was unseasonably perfect [went in October/Autumn], the accommodations were all of a good quality standard. Our small group of just 6 was perfect for speedy entry into everywhere and everything, including border crossings. And then it was just 2 of us left [my mother and I] for the tour of Romania - which was absolutely gorgeous with all the autumn colours, mountains, beautiful Monasteries and Churches etc. So, go ahead push that book Now button, and have an awesome unforgettable holiday!!!
