    I had an amazing time on this well-organized tour through Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, and Turkey. From the smooth airport transfers to the fascinating guided tours, everything was taken care of. My highlights were the Acropolis in Athens, the stunning Meteora monasteries, the historic Rila Monastery, and the enchanting streets of Istanbul. Cappadocia was a standout, with its unique cave hotels and breathtaking landscapes (the hot air balloon ride was a must!). The accommodations were comfortable, and the local guides were knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore these beautiful regions with ease and comfort!

    What a tour! From Vienna to Budapest to Bucharest and ending in Istanbul, it was an amazing trip! Very well organized, the tours were very informative and the guides were so fun and knowledgeable. The hotels were very close to the center, so it was very convenient for us when we had the free time to go and explore the cities on our own! Really recommend the tour and the operator!

    I had a great trip with Igor as my tour guide. The itinerary was busy and overall well organised. Igor's knowledge of various cities and other locations was very good and interesting. No problems with the English language. Most hotels were centrally located so you could walk easily to various areas of interest.
