Lewy's

“From the start of the trip all the way to Budapest was outstanding. A great mixture of culture, sights, and history was very entertaining. The distances between all the cities was not as long as a previous Western Europe trip we had taken. Our tour leader Karina was outstanding. She kept us entertained on and off the bus and genuinely wanted us to have a great trip where we felt comfortable anywhere we went. There were two downsides of this trip. Serbia and Bulgaria are not quite ready for tourism. The people were not too welcoming and the sights were not as great. One other downside were the included dinners were mostly chicken. I can have chicken anytime at home and I would rather have different choices at the included dinners or find dinner on my own.”

“The Positives Yannis our tour driver was Excellent.. He was such a skillful driver, very helpful and gentlemanly as he would also help us alight from the bus. And he treated our luggages with care unlike during my Northern Explorer Tour last Septmeber 2017 where my luggage broke because of rough handling by the tour driver. The hotels that were good were Kosco Hotel which had complete amenities, Hotel Belvedere in Macedonia were the linens were excellent and the place had several grand pianos where one of my travel mates played the piano. Sky2 Hotel in Albania was also nice. Hotel VIS in Dubrovnik had a nice. location beside the water and breakfast.was good, Hotel Park in Slovenia was centrally located and walking distance to the the center of the city. Ibis Hotel in Budapest had a nice location since it was walking distance to Heroe's Square and a park but the airconditioning in most of the rooms were not working and since we were there on holiday, the place did not have the needed maintenance personnel. The food at Hotel Vicko in Northern Croatia was good and the owner very helpful but our room assignments were confusing although the apartel were we were assigned was nice. Ramada Blue in Sofia had complete amenities but the floor were we were assigned ( 4th floor) still needs renovation. I understand that hotel is still undergoing renovation. In general, the sights we saw during the trip were nice and the included dinner was okey but the one in Athens Greece on our first night was excellent I was wondering though if the included dinners in the other places reflected the actual local food of the place. THE NEGATIVES Since most of the tourists are seniors, I think all the shower areas of all the hotels should include a MAT inside the shower area and grab bars because the shower areas were always slippery and one had to be careful about slipping. The Hotel EL GRECO was terrible. Please skip MOSTAR. It is not worth the 6 passport checks.”

First Time Traveller

“For the traveller on a budget, this service does it all. They take you all over, at quite a fast pace, to see cities, castles, rivers and more! They provide nice hotels, that are clean and usually quiet. Lots of food, the breakfasts were full of food, and the dinners, although not always the traditional food of that country, were plentiful and filling. We even had a grande finale, we stayed at a 4 star hotel, with a luxurious pool! The included dinner at a local traditional restaurant was the highlight of the trip for me, because it had live Bulgarian folk music, and I even got to dance! I wish the customer service was better, I ended up leaving a dress behind, and a special water bottle, and tried for days to contact someone at expat, and I never got any help. They did provide me with a phone number to call the hotel, but the hotel never answered. I was really hoping expat would take care of this for me, and they did not.”
