I was excited about the prospec…Read moreChoose Balkans commented on this reviewDear Paula and Robert, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the beauty of the Balkans and the warmth of its people. Your insights are greatly appreciated and help us improve. Starting in Belgrade: Belgrade is a key starting point due to its central location and strong flight connections. While the walking tour is intended as a brief introduction, we understand you had hoped for more time and will review how we communicate this to future guests. Hotels & Breakfasts: We aim to partner with trusted 3-star properties, but we understand some hotels didn’t meet expectations. Your comments on breakfast variety and the Sarajevo hotel are noted, and please rest assured we’ll work with our partners to improve these areas and reassess collaboration. Guidance & Support: We’re thrilled that Ilir’s guidance made such a positive impression on your trip. He is indeed one of our best guides, and it’s wonderful to hear he was such a great match for you. Your feedback about Mario is also incredibly valuable. While we’re pleased to know you found him personable and knowledgeable, we understand that beyond expertise, a guide’s approach must also align with guests’ personalities and expectations. This is why we strive to carefully match customer profiles with the right guides to adapt to individual needs. Your insights into the different guiding styles are especially helpful and will enable us to refine our strategies to ensure every guest feels supported and receives personalized recommendations throughout their journey. We understand this was your first guided tour, and it’s natural not to know what to expect. Please know that we always welcome feedback during the tour itself so we can address any concerns in real time. Itinerary Adjustments: We regret your disappointment in missing Meteora. When you requested to reduce travel time, we provided options, and the decision to skip it was made at that point. As bookings were pre-paid, refunds were not possible, but we’ll review how we can better support mid-tour changes in the future. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback. We’re grateful for your perspective and hope to welcome you back in the future for a more seamless experience. Warm regards, The Choose Balkans Team Lydia

We understand that the Balkans trip didn’t meet your expectations, and we appreciate your constructive feedback.

We hope to welcome you on another adventure soon and provide you with memories to cherish for a life time. Kind Regards.- W
