Balkans War sites Trips

It was fabulous, but it is quite the pace changing hotels every two days. At times when we were given time to sightsee, we had to do lunch at the same time so sometimes there just wasn’t enough time. It was very rushed. I think in future when I look for trips, look for stay and explore so more days in one location and exploring from there it’s a bit of a grind changing hotels every two days. But I do realize to see that much in 18 days you do have to change hotels.

Everything is planned to perfection for you. You don't have to think, you just go. Our tour leader and driver were fantastic! We enjoyed all of the cities we visited especially when we did a special local dinner. We learned a lot about each city through the locally guided tours. The specialists did a great job. We enjoyed the whole itinerary.

The itinerary for this tour was great and the experience was definitely a once in a lifetime experience. Our tour director, Hana, was outstanding in every way! She provided great insights every day, every tour and made our travel experience so much more fun. Of all the places we visited, Croatia was our favorite county. Favorite city....toss up between Zagreb and Dubrovnik!

The itinerary is packed and tried to cover a lot but i find it a little bit tiring. It could have been better if we can stay at least two nights in Istanbul so we can explore better its beauty. In the visit to Gallipoli we can actually shorten it so that we have enough time to rest after a long day.. For the optional experience, you can remove the Dervishes performance / it is soo boring. We can go straigjt to that great local restaurant! You could also consider offering hot air balloon so that price could be better? It is cheaper to get it online but scary! Although our pilot is superb that was one of the best highlights of our trip. I love dining with the locals. The food they offered are superb one of a kind dishes i will never forget and the women mothers hosted us are sooooo good. I love this. The hidden treasure experience is sooooo amazing! We love seeing the actual mushrolm house ourselves and not imagining the layout amd how they can live there. The food at the hotels are fantastic. From reception to cleanliness and ease of check in every single details are well taken cared of. Just be mindful of the triple sharing arrangements bec they usually provide only for two people but thats minor but good to mention. I would say the 4 star amd 5 star hotels you chose are great. I love Novotel and Dedeman the most. Last but not the least, i would like to commend the very good performace of our Travel Director Altay Gur! He is an amazing, superb, knowledgeable, joker amd have a very good sense of humor! I am very impresses on his knowledge as an Archaelogiat himself. He knows a lot and very family oriented which i admire most. he took care of all of us and i found that he is not too strict when it comea to time although we all tried to be on time. In my past trips with you we left one of our guests in one place because she was late. Altay Gur or Al is highly rated Trafalgar Travel Director. I wouls also like to commend our driver Fai? Sorry i dont know tje correct apelling. He was so nice and very pumctual and drove sooo good! I have no worries about any accidents as he is ao carrful. Overall i would give 20 ratings or more instead of 10 to this trip. I am very brry satisfied with Trafalgar. It never failed me and o woll comtinue to use this travel tours everytime i travel. This is my 4th time. Congratulations on the job well done! Trafalgar is the BEST

An interesting and varied, although busy, itinerary. The hotels used are generally well-located, moderate in quality, but adequate. for the tour. Our guide Mehmet was very helpful, organised and speaks good English. He helped translate between English and Turkish whenever needed, and excelled at finding interesting and inexpensive local restaurants for lunch stops. We enjoyed the tour. The Explore trip notes for this tour provide a good description of it.

Great tour. Loved the 2 nights in each location as it gave us time to see more local life and history. All the cities visited on this tour were amazing combinations of long historical pasts and modern life. Loved the optional tours and events.
