RIC· October 13th, 2024The 3 guides were excellent Some of the hotels could have done better Timing of meals was hard to reconcile.
Travel Talk commented on this reviewHi Ric, thank you for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that you had an enjoyable experience in the Balkans and Transylvania.

- April· August 25th, 2023The tour was nicely laid out. I loved each city and country that we visited and each tour guide Gabriel from Romania and Simon from Bosnia did a fantastic job of leading the way and explaining the culture and history. The hotels were great. Now as it was over 95 degrees most of our trip I expected a cool bus the entire trip but the air didn't work properly from Romania to Bulgaria until we switched to a new bus from Bosnia to Athens, Christian the owner maintained his bus making sure that everything ran smoothly. He was a caring and phenomenal driver.Show moreTravel Talk commented on this reviewHi April, thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed the Balkans & Transylvania, it is such a unique destination. We hope to welcome you on another trip with us soon! All the best, Travel Talk Team
Trip date: July 2023 - Shivani· August 7th, 2023Romania and bulgaria were great. From bulgaria to Greece, the optional activities were lacking. In particular, Balkan nights dinner in North Macedonia was terrible (the food was overpriced and poor quality - local lakeside restaurants in Ohrid were amazing with better quality food, better prices and had local traditional performances as well). I would strongly recommend changing the venue and reducing the cost to something closer to what is reflected in the dining scene of the city. This opinion on the Balkan night dinner was shared by many in the group. Overall, I would recommend this trip and had a wonderful time. The trip was an efficient and entertaining way to cover these destinations.Show moreTravel Talk commented on this reviewHi Shivani, thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are always looking for ways to improve our tours for future travellers, so we will certainly take your feedback around the optional activities and the dinner in North Macedonia on board....

Excellent guided and interesting destinations.Travel Talk commented on this reviewThanks for sharing Kathryn! We very happy to hear you enjoyed your time in the Balkans and Transylvania with us, it sure is an incredible and interesting part of the world!Trip date: June 2022
- THTom· June 20th, 2022Sites visited are good, informative. Itenary is good. Tour manager needs to cut down time spent in restaurants. Seat rotation on bus should be enforced to be fair to everyone. Two couples took 8 seats for themselves many days in the first 2,3 rows pushing others to the back of the bus.Show moreTravel Talk commented on this reviewHi Tom, appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback and suggestions, thanks very much! Glad to hear overall however, that you had a great experience with us in the Balkans and Transylvania :)Trip date: May 2022
- KMKate· June 17th, 2022The trip was sold to me as a 19 day tour but it actually was 3 separate tours and folks joined and left at different points. Romania/Bulgaria section was amazing: sights, hotels, guides. The Balkan Section was good but way too much time on buses and too few stops for sights/photo ops along the way. Hotels were also very good. The Greece section hotels were not great. Rooms were tiny. The tour guides were excellent. The local guides were okay but tended to repeat information already provided by the tour guides. Overall a good tour for the price.Show moreTravel Talk commented on this reviewHi Kate, thanks for taking the time to share your review and feedback, we really appreciate it.
