    A week ago I concluded a splendid tour of seven countries of the Balkan peninsula. The tour was a very pleasant experience that left me with a broad knowledge of this region of the world. The support of Balkan & More was key to achieve the results of the tour. The kindness and efficiency of Ivona and Jelena were important factors in the success of my trip. Especially, the support of Teodor, who was assigned to us as a guide, with his extensive knowledge of the countries on the tour, their history and their essential characteristics, made the trip a very valuable experience in my life. I highly recommend this tour to those who share my opinion that travel is an opportunity to get to know the world.

    The anticipation over our trip to the Balkans was met with surprise and delight. Traveling from the Nicola Tesla Airport in Belgrade to our hotel was done in style with a delightful driver pointing out areas of interest with a minor history lesson. But the real treat was our tour guide for the balance of the trip starting the following day. Dejan was extremely knowledgeable and without bias answering all our questions. He also introduced us to several very good ethnic restaurants, told personal stories and absolutely made the trip. We traveled approximately 3500 miles (about 5632.7 km) with a small, homogeneous group of diverse people (7 in all). Our accommodations were great, the food was wonderful and the friends we made, made it all the more enjoyable.

      Hi, what sim card will cover across all 7 countries? I currently use a UK sim card. Thanks.

    • Balkan and moreOperatorWritten November 2023

      You can regularly use your UK sim card with some of additional roaming package that your network operater can provide. It means there is no unique card for these 7 countries. Our guests usually use their own sim cards.
