    Budapest was fabulous. I added a classical concert at Matthias Church which was delightful. There was lots of time spent driving. Would have been nicer to change transport to trains and ferries. The visit to Lake Bled was a bit disappointing. Especially after visiting Plitvice Lakes

    We went on this marvellous trip and loved every single minute of it. The itinerary was excellent and absolutely fascinating. All the hotels were super, and we travelled in a very comfortable, new mini bus with a charming driver. Above all, we had the best tour guide of all time, Marko, whose knowledge of the history and politics of the region is extensive. At certain places, we also had local guides who were always punctual and knowledgeable. The administration of our tour was seamless, thanks to the highly professional, Ivona. There was nothing about the tour that we didn't like. We have travelled with many tour operators, but Balkan&more went the extra mile, and we certainly hope to travel with them again. We cannot recommend them enough to future travellers.

    The Balkans are amazing countries to explore and it is even more amazing when touring with Balkan and more travel agency.. We received fast responses to our initial questions when booking and throughout the tour. Teo (our guide) made sure every detail of our 25 day holiday was flawless from beginning to end. He relayed his in depth knowledge of the history and culture and his love of the Balkans as we toured. He took such great care and concern for our experience. Our travel experience would not have been as enjoyable without Teo. I highly recommend Teo and Balkans and more for your travel adventure!
