Balkans City sightseeing Trips

Very well thought out and packed itinerary, made possible by the wonderful travel director, coach driver, and local specialists. Takes out a lot of the stress of traveling while still leaving a lot of opportunity for you to explore at your own pace if you want.

The whole trip was amazing and very well organized. Everything went smoothly-from the bus transfers and hotel switches, to the city tours. All logistics were clearly explained, which made the journey very comfortable and stress-free. The hotels were excellent. Provided lunches, dinners and breakfasts were very good. City tours were well planned and enjoyable, with plenty of interesting information. The guides were outstanding and truly on top of their job. Ajit and Fabrizio did a fantastic job, and if you have the chance to travel with them, you can be sure the trip will be great. You will also receive a lot of very useful information and tips about all the cities. Overall, everything was excellent, and I highly recommend this experience.

Great trip, I would thoroughly recommend. The leader Doan and his team were the best. We were a group of 7 like minded cyclists, lots of laughs and really great rides, through villages and scenic mountain roads. All the hotels were perfect. I feel privileged to have visited this wonderful and diverse country.

It feels busy, but it is called a whirl for a reason. When you stop and look back at what you saw and experienced in that short amount of time - it's quite overwhelming - and amazing. The 'be my guest' experience in Tuscany was amazing!

The trip guide with his knowledge and personality made this trip exceptional. The accommodation was wonderful and the cycling was brilliant. The only change I would make was to not have the cruise at the end…..it was not a traditional junk boat but a cruise full of tourists. I would rather have had 2 extra days cycling

This trip was a follow-up visit to Vietnam after a 30-year break. The country still has the charm, interest, and friendly people that I remember. This is despite it now being an industrialised nation instead of the totally rural economy that it was. There has been a great deal of improvement in the infrastructure that makes travelling around much easier. The trip was very comprehensive with a packed itinerary giving a good insight into Vietnamese life. Our guide Tien worked tirelessly to make sure that the trip ran smoothly for everyone and ensured that the group was happy and well fed. Her knowledge of the country, its history, customs, along with her personal insights enhanced the basic facts of the place that we visited. The hotels were all an excellent standard, if a bit corporate and international on a few occasions. The junk for the cruise around Lan Ha Bay was of an exceptional standard. My favourite hotel was The Little Oasis in Hoi An. Hoi An was also my favourite town. We opted out of the cooking class to spend more time exploring the town. Perhaps this cooking activity should have been an option rather than inclusive. There are other things to do in and around the town that would have made a better option for me. The transport was clean and comfortable except for the Hue to Hoi An section. The vehicle had broken air vents, cup holders, seat belts were hanging on the floor, and the suspension was poor. The transport over this section needs upgrading. My only disappointment was the water puppet show. I have seen the show before. After a 45-minute drive to the rural location the exclusive show was very amateurish, lacked live music and had no atmosphere. The Hanoi city theatre version that I had seen previously was much more enjoyable. I thoroughly enjoyed my return visit to Vietnam and would have no worries about recommended this trip to either a first or return visitor to Vietnam.
