He often dud not stay in the same location which seemed hard for him at times. The sites were beautiful and we saw a lot in the two weeks. We did not appreciate being in a different hotel from the rest of the group one night. Our hotel was much inferior to the other one.. Another time the group was also split. I will always remember this region.Show moreChoose Balkans commented on this reviewThank you so much for your feedback Barbara, we are glad you had a lovely time in the region with Alfred and your tour group!

- JFJoseph· May 4th, 2024We loved and enjoyed our tour from Athens to Belgrade with Choose Balkans and Alfred (Alfie) as our tour guide and driver. We have been to 130 countries to date and Alfred is in our top 3 best tour guide list. He is excellent. The itinerary was well thought of, with all the highlights of each destination visited. Alfred provided us with the historical background of each attraction. Having a small group is absolutely a plus. There were 7 of us in an 8 passenger van. We communicated through social media when we were not in the van so a regional or global sim is advisable but not a must because all the hotels had free wifi. Since it was a small group, the guide had ample time to entertain our questions such as currency used and accepted and good places to eat. I recommend Choose Balkans and hopefully, we can do more tours with them someday. Faleminderit!Show moreChoose Balkans commented on this reviewHello Joseph, Thank you for your kind words and feedback, we also enjoyed having you on tour with us and showing you the Balkans! We genuinely hope to welcome you back again one day! Kind Regards Choose Balkans TeamTrip date: April 2024

Naomi
Asked on October 5th, 2024My partner and I are interested in taking this trip however we wouldn't be able to do the full 14 days, we would need to leave on the 11th. Is this possible to do?
- Choose BalkansOperator•Written October 2024
We can organize this trip for both of you and you can continue up to day 14 and your partner can get of in day 11. In this case as we do not have others departing on the 2nd of November, you can pay both full price, to ensure that your tour will continue even if it is just you on the tour.

Melanie
Asked on September 25th, 2024If our departure flight from Belgrade on the 22nd November is at 1155hrs, will we be able to make that flight on the last day? Can the accommodation be twin share with 2 beds and not double?
- Choose BalkansOperator•Written September 2024
Regarding the final day, the drive from Sarajevo to Belgrade is around 5 hours and you would need to arrive by around 9am to allow time for check in and security. Is there a chance that the departure flight can be moved to a later time or date? If not, our suggestion would be to arrange a private transfer from Sarajevo early in the morning perhaps before 5am.
- M
Melanie
Traveler•Written September 2024Is the bedding option of 2 beds / twin share going to be possible. It will be a mother and adult son travelling and they don't want to share a bed.
- Choose BalkansOperator•Written September 2024
Of course, we can request twin beds everywhere for you, this is absolutely fine as we have the option of booking a double or twin. As in all cases, the earlier we book the better when making special requests to ensure availability.
