This tour was an amazing experience and a great way to see A LOT of Europe in a short amount of time. The trip was fast paced but very well planned out with the itinerary and mix of activities that you see and do. Jemma, our tour guide was absolutely amazing! We couldn't have asked for better! She was charismatic, funny, knowledgeable, organized, and guided us in a positive way where we got the very most out of the travel experience learning the local history, foods, culture and best site seeing spots. She went above and beyond to make sure we were getting the most out of our tour experience. Gabriel, our driver was also phenomenal. We always felt very safe and he was always perfectly punctual and helped us load/ unload and kept us very comfortable on the coach.
Well organised, and the leader was flexible to accommodate the group’s needs. He was also full of information and answered all our questions - and we had plenty!
The hotel choices were excellent, all being in central locations to explore the cities, and the driver was professional, friendly and got us to our destinations safely.
Excellent holiday, thoroughly enjoyed the week. Five hikes with a variety of sights and different terrain. The Chalet Savoy is a perfect base for this trip and size of group. Food was fantastic (thanks Elaine) and wonderful tour guide Oliver (except the jokes).
The tour was even better than I've ever hoped for. The memories I made with my fellow travellers will be cherished for a very long time. Our tour guide, Steve was very informant and charming. Our driver, Antonio was very funny and charming as well. This has been a roller coaster of a trip and I wouldn't ask for more.
Our guide was fantastic. Very knowledgeable about the local geography, history and personal connections. Extremely accommodating to all the members of the group and their riding skills. Exceeded my expectations as a tour of Croatia and the coordination and organization.
I loved the opportunity to undertake a yacht sailing voyage for a week in safe hands, with good company and a good variety of interesting land excursions. For me the highlight was the nights a5 anchor in isolated bays with the opportunity to dive off the boat into crystal blue waters.
As a repeated traveler with G Adventures company, I am sorry to say that this was not the best experience I had in my 2 weeks vacation due to above mentioned issues. The trip otherwise would have been fantastic as the sites are amazing and Sandre's knowledge and experience are remarkable.
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.
What a wonderful trip ! An exciting walking adventure with a wonderful guide, magnificent scenery , a great group of likeminded hikers and an awesome hotel
Chantelle was an amazing tour leader on the gozo-Malta leg of the tour. We saw some most amazing places. Chantelle was very knowledgeable on the history of this region. Would highly recommend this tour.
I am not a historian or an archaeologist but this trip was brought to life by having such an exceptional tour guide ( & coach driver) plus the local guides were 5*
