    Good thought out tour. Visited a lot of places with local guides, the accommodations were good and close to the main attractions. Budapest is stunning! We reccommend the tour!

    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!

    I 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 way
