Balkans Explorer Tour Reviews
Real traveler feedback from Explorer tours across Balkans
Sonja C. | Traveled in July
Many have asked what my favorite part was. There were so many things that I cannot list just one. This was our first tour and we liked getting off the beaten path and experiencing different things. The size of the tour was great so we were able to get to know everyone. The people on the tour were wonderful and so was everyone we met.
Lois Pl | Traveled in July
An outstanding tour, very comfortable Coach, amazing tour guide and coach driver. The accommodation was superb, every location bought a smile. We ate we drank and we laughed throughout the tour. Being away from the main motorways was the best thing, and the couple of times we needed to use the motorway we could always rely on a great coffee stop.
Lorna O. | Traveled in July
Well organized tour of Denmark, Sweden and Norway! Got to visit places that may have been difficult to see if not on a bus tour. Lots of space on bus.
Gillian | Traveled in July
Machu Picchu was the obvious highlight but I really enjoyed everywhere we went in Peru with great food and scenery along the way. Arequipa is a beautiful city to explore and the Santa Catalina convent is really interesting. The Colca Canyon is stunning and seeing the condors was an added bonus. The Uros Islands were interesting and colourful and the homestay on Taquile Island was simple and comfortable. Learning about the way of life on Taquile was fascinating. The excursion to Maras and Moray was one of my favourite things along with the visit to Misminay where we had a lesson on stargazing. Machu Picchu is stunning and finishing off in Cusco with Inti Raymi was another highlight. Our tour leader Julio was fantastic - he is really knowledgeable and was very entertaining. He also went out of his way to help the group - I had an issue with my luggage not arriving and he was so helpful. Would recommend this holiday to anyone.
Karen T. | Traveled in July
We were taken to interesting historical places with guided tours and learned so much. All the tour guides were great and were always able to answer all questions, some were humorous as well. We were given a little time after the tours to poke around a little or shop if that was available. The scenery was beautiful, our bus tour guide was fantastic, and our bus driver was amazing.
Gerald R. | Traveled in July
The itinerary was very historic and authentic Ireland, and our tour guide was very knowledgeable and personable, and we just enjoyed the trip tremendously from both the beauty we saw and the authenticity of Irish history that we were presented
