    · July 5th, 2022
    An excellent trip with an outstanding tour director (Sarah Rossi) and highly skilled bus driver (Bruno). Plenty of option excursion choices along with very good included tours with knowledgeable local guides. The only down side were two of the hotels - Hotel Marinela, Sofia Bulgaria, and Mercure Belgrade Excelsior - that were in desperate need of refurbishment not to mention functioning air conditioning and bathroom cleaning. Otherwise, great trip.

    This tour was a holiday of a lifetime for my wife and me. Our tour guide, Emo and bus driver, Tebore, were simply excellent and made the whole experience a factual, humorous and enjoyable one. All of the localised Tour experts for each of cities were also amazing 👏 We also met some wonderful people within our tour group and it was hard to say goodbye to them at the end. We now have so many wonderful memories to cherish here on out and I can't recommend this tour more, to other people to go on and experience.
