Balkans Tours and Trips for Seniors

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.

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.

This was a long intended trip as we’d skied in the Rockies years ago but wanted to see what lay under the snow. We weren’t disappointed. The scenery is breathtaking and some have since asked if our photos were AI or real. This was a trip that allowed for 2-3 nights in each location, which is perfect and preferable to moving on each day. We added 3 days at the beginning to enjoy Calgary , and deal with jet lag, which was well worth it. Calgary was a pleasant surprise. A few days at the end to visit family and relax after what was a very active and full 10 days. Other than the initial Calgary hotel, accommodation was very good. Travel in our 14 seater minibus was fine for the 12 of us on the trip. 14 might have been a squeeze. We packed a lot in. Did varying lengths of enjoyable walks and hikes, none were too taxing, but allowed us to feel where we were and escape the crowds. Occasionally felt a couple of hours break, pre dinner might have been good, but wouldn’t miss any of the experiences we had. Overall a wonderful trip, spent with a lovely group of people who I’d love to meet on a future trip.

Our tour guide, Ben and our bus driver Ash made such a great team and they were what made the tour especially great. Ben shared so much knowledge and so many details. Ash was meticulous with keeping the windows clean so we wouldn’t miss anything. It was my first tour and it was a great experience!!

The coach was very comfortable with a toilet and USB chargers on board. The hotels were great, even as a solo traveller I had lovely, comfortable rooms. There was plenty of choice for breakfast. In just seven days, I have seen so many amazing things, the itinerary was really good and varied. The tour guide, Giuseppe went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and taught us so much about Italy. I had a fantastic time and had so much fun with the other lovely travellers in the group. I liked that I could add extra activities, I did nearly all of them but at least you have a choice to make the trip as busy as you want and spend what suits your budget.

Other than the flights and car service to airport in Las Vegas the trip was magnificent. My favorite was the train ride from Denver to Moab and Dead Horse Point State Park. I worked as a campground host for the Utah State Parks one summer. The 5 National Parks are exquisite. To me this journey is one of the must dos on a bucket list. I would loved to have spent more time in each park but without extending the trip by a few more days that would be impossible. The tour made very good use of the time we had in each park. A very good balance between touring and down time. The hotels were all excellent locations for walk ability.
