Balkans Local Culture Tours 2023/2024

“The tour was very informative about the heritage and culture of each Balkan country. I was fortunate to come this far and learned that our country Philippines is not that far from attaining exemplary development terms of economics and government management. I love Dubrovnik for its magnificent Old Town and similarly red and white colored houses which made the place awesome. Montenegro and Budapest likewise were amazing. Kalambaka, Meteora gave us the wonderful view of St Stephen Monastery on top of a huge rock.!!!! The tour guide Shae and Driver Yanis were truly fantastic which made the tour enjoyable.”

“These eastern block countries have amazing stories to tell and are on the cusp of coming into their own and it's the perfect time to experience the wonders of them all! The cities are amazing and you get to learn their history from local tour guides. Go from Chernobyl, to the Palace of corruption, to a secret Soviet missile base - with the opportunity to actually go down into the control room. We got to head into little known Transnistria, a remnant of the Soviet Union in its own time warp. Moldova was amazing, Chisinau proving to be a magical city, that has a lot to offer, with the trip out to nearby Churchi monastery including traditional Moldovian lunch an amazing window into the country and its traditions. Romania was amazing, Iasi, an amazing buzzing university town. Of course Bran Castle and it's stories of Dracula, and the wondrous Transylvania to Bucharest. Amazing experiences, sights and of course, fun!”

“This is a very nice trip, with no time to get bored. We visited 3 counties in 10 days from the biggest to the smallest cities in the region. It was an interesting contrast. We explored several, churches, monasteries, mosques, UNESCO sites and restaurants. This part of the world is not yet so discovered, it often felt we are the only tourists from abroad. We learn a lot about the history of the area thanks to our skilled leader and tried some local food specialties. The portions are huge there!We had a lovely group that added to the positive experience.”
