Customer Reviews

  • 12 days Balkans Tour from Sofia reviewer 1
    · May 6th, 2023
    Just finished the 19 day Balkans Small Group Tour and all I can say is wow! Super job by the Tour Radar team (Mattias, Gabriel, Vlad, George) to make everyone comfortable, keeping us informed, and guide us through the various landmarks on a schedule to keep the group moving. Our drivers/Guides were all extremely knowledgeable on the history of the many countries, regions, landmarks. Most of the Balkans were new to us so a wonderful way to get exposed to many true hidden jewel tourist locations. So happy we made it and will plan to revisit various locations now on a much more relaxed schedule. Days are broken down into travel segments with stops along the way to stretch out and see the attractions before landing at the destination hotel. Hotels were pretty solid 3 star, mostly very clean, super locations to walk out later and again early for individual meals and exploring. Breakfasts were all good to superb. We've had this trip cancelled twice due to plandemic and are we happy to finally make it. Thank you to Tour Radar, and also Mattias and our 5 friends that spent 12 of the 19 days together in the van! Highly recommend and will use Tour Radar again!
