    Great stay in Slovenia. The hotel was officially 5 star but definitely has aged. Nothing was perfect but everything was good. The View from the room was superb.

    For the most part, we were very pleased with the tour. Christina was great to work with. We modified the trip a little to better suit our needs. The guides were quite good, as were the drivers. The hotels were also fine and we liked the buffet breakfasts. Dubrovnik, Split, Plitvice Lakes, and Zagreb are all worth seeing. We decided to have one more day in Split and one more day in Dubrovnik and one less day in Zagreb. One issue prevented me from giving this a five star review. The drivers were prompt every day except the day we were leaving for the airport. There was a mixup with the time the driver picked us up. He did not come at the scheduled time and we could not get hold of Christina. We ended up getting a taxi on our own. Tour Radar did compensate us or this, but it did cause us some stress.

    Most of the trip was good. We had a problem when the first hotel was changed and we were given bunk beds, but a text to Palma fixed that. .

      We want ideally 2 nights in at least 50% of the hotels, and fewer long bus rides. We need to do a shorter distance, and concentrate on fewer places.

    • PALMA DMC & TO OperatorWritten July 2024

      Maybe The Great Balkan Experience tour would be more suitable for you since it covers 15 days as opposed to this one that is 22 days?

    Asked on July 3rd, 2024

    We like this tour itinerary and the 4* accomodation that you promise - for the most part. We dont want to spend so many days in Slovenia - max 2 days. Is there an option for us to end this tour in Zagreb and skip the Slovenia portion for a lower price? Or, do you have an alternate tour that covers similar locations in Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Montenegro?

    • PALMA DMC & TO OperatorWritten July 2024

      We can make amendments to your tour but it will have to be a private tour which in the end will be more costly. Another option would be for you to switch to the Great Balkan experience tour which does not include Slovenia but as a private tour. The great balkan experience private option is 14.200 euros for 2 people as a private tour. Sightseeing tours included: Zagreb, Novi sad, Belgrade, Skopje, Ohrid, Tirana, Podgorica, Kotor, Budva, Dubrovnik, Mostar, Sarajevo, Split, Pltivice National park. The price includes: All transfers as per itinerary, English speaking tour leader, Accommodation in 4* hotels on BB basis, 8 × lunch, 1× farewell dinner, Entrance to Kalemegdan fortress, Entrance to Plitvice NP, Entrance to Diocletian palace, Entrance to Rector's palace, Tourist tax
