Very organized. The time was well used to see major sites and to get a feel for the history and daily life. The tour was responsive to our request to include some outdoor, active activities in addition to sightseeing. The local guide was very good, knowledgeable and genial. Importantly, he was a good driver. The hotels were well selected, except for the one in Cluj which was a bit out of the center.

Loved the tour & our tour leader (Marty) was fantastic. We enjoyed every part of this tour from the history, the relics, museums, guided tours. The Monasteries of Meteora & the small town of Kalampaka were something else & the amazing day trips from the beautiful islands where we swam from the boat & from the gorgeous beaches was yet another highlight. This tour went way beyond our expectations & I would highly recommend.
A very memorable, enjoyable and fulfilling holiday. Goof crew and beautiful scenery.
Thank you! (especially to Ivan and Nikola for all the effort that they put in to make this a really special trip).
Nature, history and culture collide across Bosnia and Herzegovina on this round-trip seven-day exploration from Sarajevo. Recently touched by upheaval, the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina are eager to share their history and customs with you – through good food and local stories. Spot wild horses in the mountains, step inside a preserved bunker that remained a national secret for decades and go hiking to the mountain village of Lukomir. Then, tuck into home-made cheeses, pies and boreks, meet Sarajevo’s only female coppersmith and explore the historic and off-the-beaten-path town of Jajce.
The trip was wonderful! We were impressed by the way the trip was planned. Great hotels and service by the representatives we dealt with. Our transportation vehicles and drivers were all very nice and had prompt pickups. Very thorough explanations of how things will work when we arrived in Athens.
