Explore the former Communist headquarters of Romania in Bucharest, see Bulgaria’s Roman ruins in Sofia and marvel at Bosnia’s Tunnel of Hope in Sarajevo. After exploring the medieval city of Brașov, take the mountain roads to the Transylvanian border and join a private visit of Bran Castle after hours - better known as Dracula’s haunted abode in Bram Stoker’s infamous novel, followed by private dinner. Delve into the myths and legends before adventuring onwards to Mostar, where a Local Expert guides you through the city’s iconic sights ahead of a Sarajevo Dine at Home experience. Sit down with a Sarajevan family for a feast of local delicacies, traditional Bosnian coffee and tales of local life before your adventure ends in Belgrade.
So much to see! Thanks for organizing the trip like this. The Tour Director and the coach driver(s) made the trip possible and enjoyable.
Saw LOTS--and also had to travel lots, but worth it!
This is an interesting itinerary, visiting so many different nations. They are all similar, yet each has a unique feel. There is a lot of bus travel and the first half of the tour feels a bit rushed, but it slows down during the second half. It is perfect if you want a quick taste of several countries. The trip would be ideal if it were perhaps two days longer adding an extra night in Bulgaria and Albania. The one night stays during the first half of the trip give it that rushed feel. In the end, we enjoyed this tour of the Balkins. Dubrovnic, Croatia and the Montenegro coast were wonderful. The family dinner in Bosnia and at the Croatia olive farm were unforgetable highlights. So many interesting and beautiful churches and castles seen in contrast to the brutalist communist era buildings. So much history in this region. If you enjoy history and want to see places that are not your typical tourist destinations, this is the trip for you.
