- DDDc· September 18th, 2025Perfect tour of hiking through balkan!!! 10/10 would recommend itShow moreTrip date: September 2025
- KSKittur· September 13th, 2025Our private trip with Magen guide and driver was wonderful. Magen is very knowledgeable and spoke English well and explained the history in detail. Answered all our questions whether it was silly or stupid. The only issue we had was the electrical car they provided. It was a chore to find charging places every day. Migen had to find and wait in the night till late. He did not get much sleep. It was difficult for him to drive in the morning without much rest. He had to stop many times to smoke and drink coffee to keep awake. When we tried talking to the company. They were not helpful and in fact rude. This was the only negative part of the trip. TourBalkans need to address this problem of providing electric cars. We did not about the car. On the whole it was a good trip. Padma and Shankar.Show moreTrip date: September 2025
Mibsy· August 11th, 2025The tour was described as all ages welcome. This is completely inaccurate. You will spend many, many hours each day in a car (typically over 5 hours plus driving and then there are also long delays at border crossings). The long travel days and long delays at border crossings were not mentioned in the tour. Had they have been I would not have chosen this tour. I went with my 12 year old daughter and I personally felt that the company put our health in jeopardy in order to save a couple of euros. On the second day they swapped out our gas vehicle for an electric vehicle. The infrastructure in this part of the world is lacking for EVs. Fast chargers are few an far between and you're travelling long distances on this tour. We had to choose in 30 degree plus weather whether we wanted to have AC in the car or to be stranded by the side of the road. This doesn't give one peace of mind, especially when travelling with a child. So our guide would roll down the windows in the car to try and keep us from overheating. My face was windburnt, I was hot and uncomfortable and my daughter ended up with heat stress. And our guide couldn't go over 90km despite the speed limit being 120km because we would drain the battery and so we ended up spending even more time in the car then we had to. Whenever the car would creep up to 90 he would break (the constant breaking was also very nauseating). This tour was a lot of travel for not as much reward as you don't get to enjoy your stay in any place. Sometimes we didn't get in until dark. Do not book with this company. They did swap out the EV when I complained but why would any company put their client's well being at risk in the first place(including the life of a child)????Show more

- BKBronwen· May 20th, 2024Our guide Ana was amazing! She was very knowledgeable about the history and landmarks that she took us to see. She had great recommendations on where to eat at local places. And she knew where all the great places for photos spots were. Nothing was a problem for her. In regards to the tour itinerary, however, I found that the days were too long with many hours spent in the car. To cover the same itinerary the tour needs to be 2-3 days longer to allow for sufficient time to explore the locations, less time each day in the car and more time at the end to rest. The itinerary itself was really great. I really loved Mostar, staying in the old town of Kotor, the local food tour of Tirana and exploring the old bazaars. Some of the hotels were better than others. The location of the hotel in Ohrid was quite a walk into the old town and the breakfast area was cold and the food was very average.Show moreChoose Balkans commented on this reviewHello Bronwen, We are glad to hear that you and your father have enjoyed your Balkans adventure.
