Customer Reviews
- Hilary· June 4th, 2025Overall had a good trip. The guide was good but felt that we could have had a bit more info on the places we went to. Sometime he would just drop us in town and say I’ll pick you up at this time but no info on the town. He was a nice person and a safe driver and we would recommend him to others. Adjinis needs to look at the level of communication they have with the customer. We were reaching out to them as didn’t get picked up for tour of Istanbul and then put on the wrong tour so by the time it was fixed we missed half of our tour. We had to reach out to ask for info on flights/transfers etc as they didn’t provide any info for us. There was also a mix up in Meteora and we were booked with 2 guides for the tour and had one of the ladies yelling at us as we didn’t know what was happening and she was upset about it. The driver of the bus from Meteora to Athens was a nightmare!! He was driving one handed with his vape in the other and every 15-20 minutes he would be vaping while driving a bus full of passengers…. Would not recommend him to anyone! The Athens part of the trip we feel that we were just abandoned by the tour operator as we were dropped at the train station (during a taxi strike) and just left there to find our own way to our hotel and the next day had to find our own way to the Athens tour… a transfer to the hotel should have been arranged like in all the other cities and also to the Athens tour as very hard to get taxis from the hotel we were booked into. Other than that we had a good time, the hotels were central and of a reasonable quality except the Istanbul one which had multiple issues including mouldy walls (we have sent photos to Adjinis)Show more
- Kiya· May 24th, 2025I recently returned from this tour with Ajdinis, and it was an unforgettable experience! The itinerary was perfectly balanced, offering a mix of historical exploration and leisure. My highlights of the tour included exploring Istanbul's iconic landmarks, staying in unique cave hotels in Cappadocia, and enjoying the vibrant lifestyle of Mykonos. The guided tours in Athens and Istanbul were informative and engaging, and the accommodations throughout were comfortable and well-located. The included flights made travel between destinations seamless. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the rich cultures and stunning landscapes of Turkey and Greece in a well-organized and luxurious setting.Show more
- Yüsra· May 30th, 2025I recently joined a private Balkan tour with Ajdinis Travel and it was truly an unforgettable experience! Everything was perfectly organized from the comfortable transportation to the well-planned itinerary covering the most beautiful and historic spots across the region. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole trip both fun and educational. I especially appreciated the personalized touches and attention to detail that made us feel so well taken care of. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the Balkans in a unique and stress-free wayShow more

Asked on May 1st, 2025Are the transfers for the Sofia/Istanbul flight included? On the hotel options in Athens and Istanbul, are they assigned by you or can they be chosen by the travellers? We want to avoid Boss Boutique Hotel for example. Does walking tour of the Acropolis mean entry to the Acropolis incl. Parthenon? Is the ticket included?
- AjdinisOperator•Written May 2025
