- CPCecilia· October 7th, 2024We have been on many guided tours and we have to say that Crina Tudor and Simon Simonovic have been one of the best tour guides we have had. Their depth of knowledge of the history and culture of the Balkans were impressive. Their stories and insights made the places we visited even more captivating adding depth to our journey. We have learned and experienced so much in just a few days. The days were packed and strenuous but rewarding and fulfilling, thanks to a well-planned itinerary and exceptional guides. The guides provided clear instructions on the day-to-day logistics, helpful suggestions on activities, local cuisine and shopping, and the essential free time, and answers to our questions however trivial they may be. Overall a wonderful first experience with Travel Talk. We look forward to traveling with them again soon. ~CeciliaShow moreTravel Talk commented on this reviewHi Cecilia, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with Crina and Simon!

- PBPriscilla· September 27th, 2023It was a good tour but strenuous. We started our days at 8 and usually finished about 7:30. Then went for dinner. Made for really long days. I was most disappointed in the fact that I got mostly twin beds. I paid a hefty single supplement but just because single doesn’t mean I shouldn’t get a double bed. I think the supplement covers that.Show moreTravel Talk commented on this reviewHi Priscilla, thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
