What people love about Balkans Tours
- Western Balkans Uncovered
I did not know what to expect and was pleased to find it all very interesting and different from our North American standards. The kindness of the people toward tourists was wonderful to experience especially given the difficult history all of the countries visited had gone through. Food and drink were very good.

The tour gave a good overview about the balkan countries!
