We had a brilliant trip in July seeing the wonderful Baltic countries. The weather was very kind, the group and our guide wonderful. We all learnt so much about the hard and dramatic history the Baltic countries have experienced and their hard won independence.

You can't see everything in a 12-day tour of the Balkans, but this trip was a full insight, taking in so many places of historic and general interest. Our courier/host was a 'best friend' guiding us, helping us, answering all our questions and sharing love of her country and knowledge to enrich us. Apart from the historic aspect, we were introduced to regional cuisine, giving us (literally) a flavour of the Balkans. The itinerary is a full one, with a lot of walking (and sometimes climbing - achy legs!) Our careful driver was helpful with loading and unloading our bags. An excellent package.

It was excellent in every way. was the best tour guide. was very nice.
The visit to the farm was so memorable. The bog, learning about animals and it’s fair to say, I will never have a two week old lamb cuddling next to my face!
in Derry was outstanding. His explanation of events and daily life was superb.
This experience felt too short, which I always think is the sign of a good trip. It made me feel connected to the Greek culture, and our shared global history. I hope to go back in the not too distant future and maybe even go skiing in Greece.

It was a great trip and the Tour Director was on top of everything. The drivers were both professional and friendly. Just an FYI Scandinavia has a high cost of Living
Overall we had a wonderful time. We are looking at other itineraries.
But I have some suggestions. It would be nice to have a meet and greet at the first dinner. To state our names and where we are from etc. so it doesn't take a week to know everyone's name.
I thought the first and last day were very confusing. We didn't have clear direction where to go and where to meet and what the plan was.
I wish we had more information about the additional events prior to booking them like where, what, and menus. Some menus we would have passed on.

It was a great experience with many highlights throughout our tour. We particularly enjoyed the many immersive stops (i.e. wine tasting, weaving, truffle hunting, pasta making, etc.) in addition to our guided tours. Our tour guide, was very well versed, knowledgeable, and helpful and provided good insights and tips throughout our trip. I can't imagine someone else doing a better job than she did! The local experts were also on top of their games.
