Reviews of our Balkans Experienced Traveler Tours
Our Experienced explorers reflect on their cultural journeys through Balkans.
Anonymous | Traveled in July
The tour guide was very friendly and engaged. The itinerary was very good although i would have liked to have stopped at St. Andrews. I did enjoy all the stops along the trip. The Castle in Inverness should be added as an included stop. The Castles renovation was amazingly completed. The final stop in Endinburgh was all I expected and more. The season was perfect.

I have always loved Insight. Went with insight when I needed to have my 75 year old mother and my 15 year old daughter in same room. I have traveled with them 8 times now. Last trip to Peru was a dream come true! The guides were wonderful, even helped me up some steps in Machu Pichu. The hotels were great, the food fantastic. The experiences my family and I had were was wonderful. Easy travel with everything arranged and taken care of!

TMB camping was the 4th and the most challanging long distance hike since my retirement. We were with 12 fellow hikers (me: the only continental person and the oldest female) aged 18-76, guided by Tim, the best guide I ever hiked with and taken care of by Alberto, a hard working chef kook and we had an unlimited fun!

For anyone who is looking for a variety of experiences AND who loves cycling too then this is for you! The variety of cycling up (and down) volcanoes, fast straight road cycling as well as off the beaten track cycling through paddy fields and coffee plantations was brilliant. But we also exchanged bikes for walking shoes, hiking up Ijen to witness the biggest acidic crater lake in the world as well as slept in tents on the beach! And some of us ended our cycling in the sea complete with cycle gear was such fun. Highly recommended.

I only did the best of Greece tour. I thought it was great! One improvement would be maybe one extra day in Athens since there is a lot to see in that area.
John G. | Traveled in July
most memorable experience was taking a train (on our own) to see a lighthouse. On our return trip, an Irish couple (about our same age) asked if they could sit with us. That impromptu event gave us about 30 minutes of extreme pleasure, having that couple ask to join us (complete strangers). Our conversation gave both couples plenty of information on each other. A-plus event.
