  • Sofia to Dubrovnik: Express Cultural Expedition - Small Group Tour reviewer 1
    · June 28th, 2025
    The Sofia to Dubrovnik: Express Cultural Expedition – Small Group Tour was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Everything was well organised, and the pace was just right for a 5-day trip. With only 9 people in the group, it felt personal and relaxed — a perfect size for this kind of journey. The hotels were clean, comfortable, and well located. A big thanks to our friendly and welcoming driver. And our guide, Igor, was absolutely outstanding — attentive, helpful, and truly committed to making sure everyone had a great time. The only suggestion I’d make is to include a guided tour in Dubrovnik. We explored it on our own, which was still enjoyable, but having it as part of the itinerary would’ve made the experience feel more complete. Overall, a wonderful tour I’d recommend to anyone looking to explore the Balkans in a short amount of time.

    · June 18th, 2025
    I recently went on this tour and had an amazing time! Everything was well-organized from start to finish. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience enjoyable and informative. We visited some truly beautiful places, learned a lot about the local culture and history, and had plenty of time to explore and take photos.

      TravelerWritten June 2025

      I need to be at Dubrovnik Airport by 3:30 AM to catch my 6:00 AM flight to Dublin. I'm not sure if any airport shuttle is available that early—could you let me know?

    • AjdinisOperatorWritten June 2025

      We do not have availability for August 8. We can only offer a start date of August 1, if that works for you?
