Best of the Balkans Reviews

The title says it all!! The Best of the Balkans was thoroughly enjoyed! The coach and driver were professional and comfortable. The hotels were clean, comfortable and all staff welcoming and professional. The tour director, Jasmina, was the most amazing knowledgeable, helpful caring and genuine tour director I have ever met on all the tours that I have ...read more been on. She did have a few challenging moments that she handled professionally and with kindness. She is ! in a million!!!

I must add that some of the food that was served including breakfast and dinner, in the hotels were a little missing the target. There was a few gluten free passengers on my trip and there was little in the way of desserts, only fruit and more fruit and mostly only bread was offered at breakfast time. Maybe a small amount of cereal and pastry or sweet cake would of been a welcomed change .

The places we visited were amazing and if time had permitted, a longer stay would of been welcomed. Thank you to Tracey for all of your help booking this amazing trip for me!!

Very interesting to hear all about the past and recent history in this region. All the local guides were very interesting and informative except for the one in Montenegro who was below par.

Our guide told us it had been the perfect tour. Once I got over the early starts I enjoyed every minute!

Very informative tour, and well priced. Our tour director was exceptional. Thank you Yvonne for your assistance in booking our trip.

We had a great tour although we had VERY Hot weather. We realised it was summer but travelling from Melbourne's 8c to high 30c to 40c was a bit of a shock. Trafalgar were again very good and our Tour leader Gasper was excellent. Arrived back home Fri 7th Aug after spending time in UK with family. We are pleased all went well.
