What people love about Balkans Tours
- Balkan Essentials in 12 days
Our guide was excellent. Itinerary was good but little more time in Duvobnick will make it better.
- Balkan Essentials in 12 days
Our itinerary was well planned and organized. We had a small group and the transportation was good. Our guide, Marko was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was more than a tour guide and has shared lot of information thorough the tour and he made my holiday really enjoyable and fun. Our Kids also really enjoyed Marko company and overall Balkans Essential 10 days Tour with Serbia Tour operator was great experience.
- Balkan Essentials in 12 days
This was a small tour. Our party was a family from India with two young children, a young woman from Hong Kong, and the two of us. We were an odd mix. Marko, our tour guide, was excellent. He is very knowledgeable about history and very good at accommodating all of us.

"Good intentions. Poor Execution. Great trip on paper and advertisement. They start the day around 9 AM and drive you in a mini bus till about 8 PM. No time for lunch. No time to actually relax and sight see. Not recommended for travelers who have traveled with other tour companies like Gate1 or Globus or Trafalgar. Balks&More made us walk with luggage over cobbled streets. Driver and Guide were both new to the terrain. They waste a lot of time picking up and dropping off people over different hotels. Other people have to wait in the bus. Because their advertisement is enticing, they will cover all the cities but then who wants to see a palace at 7:30 PM for example. Many items are skipped. You will spend a lot of time in minivan. They will switch days or itinerary at a moment's notice. Luggage is in a trailer covered with a tarp.
