Arlene | Traveled in October
Everything about this trip exceeded my expectations. We enjoyed perfect weather, a great group of people and a fantastic guide(Yani) and driver(Dzogo). The trip was well paced and provided us with a good insight into the wonders of Ancient Macedonia.
John | Traveled in October
excellent trip. great insight into rarely seen places, especially Macedonia. I'm an archaeology fan and I was delighted with the site visits and museums. Our tour leader Yane was a delight - warm, caring and highly capable.
Randy | Traveled in October
Just finished a 2 week trip (Ancient Macedonia) with a small group of 13 people. Janne, our guide, was outstanding. The trip was well organized and all visits/sites/local guides were excellent. Additionally, our driver Dzogo, also added much local knowledge. All in all a great trip with a fun like minded group of travelers.
Richard | Traveled in September
A very interesting tour with plenty of historic destinations visited. It was great that we had sufficient free time to further explore the museums and sites of Sofia, Skopje and Ohrid. Elena the tour guide was terrific - very informative and well organised. Zoki the driver was also brilliant - patient and competent. The only negative for me at 6' tall was that the Sprinter minbus was rather cramped with little knee room and no overhead shelves to store day bags.
Michael | Traveled in September
The Balkans are a beautiful part of Europe and are full of history. The two tour leaders we had, Zorica and Elena were very good, as were the local guides and our driver.
Sandra | Traveled in September
A great trip, moderately paced allowing free time to visit many of the museums in the cities. Heraclea, Philippi and Vergina were excellent. Coach was a little cramped if you were over 6' tall. Guide was excellent.
