    Great tour and very well executed. I was particularly satisfied with the guides, as well as the accommodations and the overall organisation. This tour is a great and affordable way to see a lot of places at once in Greece, Bulgaria and Romania. Highly recommend the tour and the operator.

    This was a great tour, with local guides and city tours, it was well organized. The accommodations were decent and we had some free time to explore the places on our own, too. Overall, we had a good experience with the operator and we were in communication with the operation team the whole time in case we needed something through the tour, which we appreciated. Really recommend them!

    Seeing Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey in one tour seems not doable, but the guys from Ajdinis made it happen and it was the experience of a lifetime. While we were tired in the end, we still remember and reminisce about the tour to this day with my husband. It was a great tour, well organized and fun, but still informative. Accommodation and transport were decent. The guides were fantastic.
