  This was a great trip through 4 beautiful countries! Our main guide, Milan, was very helpful and knowledgeable throughout the whole tour. I also enjoyed meeting a local guide in most cities who each gave a unique perspective of their own hometown. I learned a lot about the history of the Balkans over many centuries. The locations kept getting more and more beautiful!! Some of my favorite places we visited were Sarajevo, Mostar, Kotor, Dubrovnik, Split... and Plitvice Lakes National Park at the end was an amazing way to end the trip with one of the most beautiful places in the world. Balkan & More had amazing customer service with prompt responses and above & beyond helpfulness with any issues. Overall, this trip is a lot more sightseeing than "activities," and a good mix of scheduled itinerary & guided tours with some free time in each place for exploration and trying local food. If that sounds like the kind of trip you enjoy, then this is a great option to explore this area of the world!

  I thoroughly enjoy my tour of the Balkan Essentials in 10 days. The different countries were absolutely beautiful! The tour guide, Zanko made an indelible points in each country during our tour, I say this because Zanko was very professional, clear in communication, and deeply concerned about sharing the history of the many countries we visited. There is a lot of history and it makes an impact of understanding how the countries have evolved over many, many years from different leaders. The hotel accommodations was nice and food at the hotel was very good. I want to mention for me, the BEST hotel accommodations was at the Plitvice Lakes. The unfavorable hotel took place at the Wood Home Community. My recommendation for this 10-day tour is to try to extend the actual tour time from 1 hour to at least 3 hours at each location to make it more seamless and not get there, 1 hour tour, then night time. I appreciate the company proceeding with me as a single tourist, and having a safe and memorable time in the Balkans. I had a BLAST! Thank you. Stacy Henderson

  The amazing countries in the Balkans were so breathtaking. Especially, the area of Montenegro's Black Mountains was striking! From Serbia to Bosnia, traveling down to the Croatian Islands is a very important part of history. My tour guide, Janko talked about the in-depth changes that occurred over the centuries to bring the evolution from communism to the rise of democracy in these international countries to life. I thoroughly enjoyed the people and local cuisine, and the reshaped tourist sites were all interesting and very memorable. I recommend the key time to visit these countries (May or early June) and especially ask for Janko Fikus as your tour guide. He was very enthusiastic and shared a wealth of information which made this 10-day excursion a lot of FUN!

  We have an excellent tour the tour guide gave a very accurate answer to our questions, having brief and very accurate answers. He pointed out the most important and transcendent things about each place we visited. Always paying attention to the group's requirements, solving everything perfectly. We were very satisfied with the attention he gave us. The hotels were on accordance with the contracted category. We had a great variety and good food too. I would take another tour with Theodor the tour guide, who always showed his best disposition with the entire group.

  Much of the success of the trip was due to the guide, Teodor Madžarević. Always punctual, with clear narrations and entertaining anecdotes. Friendly person, with the best disposition to teach what was contracted in the tour. The hotels of good quality, as well as food and service. I highly recommend the agency.

  Fantastic trip. Excellent organization and planning, a guide whose experience and knowledge of the places is evident, as well as the kindness and flexibility he showed with the group. An excellent experience from a great professional like Teodor Madžarević. When everything is perfectly organized and there is no room for anything other than the pleasure of a trip, everything flows very well. It has been a trip and at the same time an adventure, it is not the typical trip where you are a spectator, here you are also the protagonist, 100% recommended.

  Fantastic travel agency for the Balkans and they come very highly recommended. Natasia was excellent and she was able to accommodate all of our requests/changes. The trip (Bespoke 20 days Balkan tour covering 8 countries), Natasia helped us to put together an unforgettable trip and the process was seamless from Day 1 to the end. Natasia and her team have been very helpful and have very detailed knowledge of the Balkans. Our Guide/Driver Theo was excellent, friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating during the entire trip. The memorable trip was made even more enjoyable by them. We will not hesitate to book with them if we are in the region again. Best customer service ever 10/10!

  Radenko was extremely knowledgeable and versed in both Balkan and world history. He was a pleasure to be with each day and tried to gear the tour to our taste. The hotel accommodations were excellent as well as the breakfast and dinners that were included. Great tour overall. I think well thought out by the tour company. Thank you.

  Communication with the tour company was excellent, they were very engaging and helpful. One issue arose with a hotel and the tour company arranged another hotel within minutes. Quality of the hotels were fantastic. The tour guide was exceptional. I ended up being the only person on the tour but that didn’t matter as the guide was extremely knowledgeable and we ended up going to some pretty amazing places. Best tour I’ve been on!!
