  • All About Greece Athens to Sofia - Small Group Tour reviewer 1
    · June 28th, 2024
    The first day was for settling in the hotel. On the 2nd day we were signed up for a tour with a local agency, the tour was only walking tour, no bus tour. On the 3-4 days we were signed up for a 2 day bus tour with a local agency. On the 4th day we met our guide, who had to drive from another country to pick us up from Meteora, and drove to the next destination, we spent with him half of day 4, day 5, and day 6. Our guide was nice and had a lot of knowledge on different topics. We took the extra pay tours to the winery and the cave. (Without them we would have more free time) During the time we spent with him we were in the car for 3-4 hours every day drinving highways in very high speed, but luckily nothing happened. On the 6th day evening we arrived to Sofia, and there the guide left us in the hotel, at first he said the next day we will have free day in Sofia, but when we showed him the itinerary where it said on day 7 will be a guided tour in Sofia, he arranged for a local guide to take us on a short tour, then we had a free day, and on the day after I left for the airport. I mostly liked the hotels that were booked for us, they all had breakfast and were mostly good, I liked that we had the opportunity to see many places and meet nice people. This tour is different than other group tours.

    The price. The Athens to Sofia had doubled in price since two days ago. The original trip we booked through TourRadar from Athens to Dubrovnik was cancelled by TourRadar due to lack of numbers. We had planned our onward journey around the Dubrovnik finish so very disappointed when it was cancelled. The 3 Balkans trip finishes closer to Dubrovnik.

      I rang the Australian number twice before I booked who assured me before I paid that others had booked the Tirana tour. I'm not too sure what to do from here. I will have to check with my partner later today. Am I right in saying that the Tirana trip is not going ahead on 10/06/24. Our only alternative is Athens to Sophia at 1290 euro each.

    • AjdinisOperatorWritten May 2024

      We are the tour operator and handle the operations, while TourRadar is just selling and assisting with the tours. It's true that we cannot operate the tour to Tirana because on the required days we don't have any passengers for that route, except for the segment from Athens to Sofia.
