Customer Reviews
- Elijah· April 22nd, 2025This tour was a great opportunity to visit the Balkans and a great ending to my Europe Discovery Tour I had. I had a great time with the group we went to on this tour, and the guide was amazing, very professional, and knowledgeable about the places we visited. The itinerary, accommodation and tours were great and as described. I recommend it.Show more
- Wines· April 16th, 2025Really recommend this tour for everyone. It was a great experience for me and my wife and we had an amazing time. We visited a lot of places in a couple of days but it wasn't tiring at all. It was a great blend of organized tours, but also having time of our own to explore. Great experience overall.Show more
- Faye· April 11th, 2025A perfect tour to see the Balkan countries! Seeing and experiencing 5 countries in 8 days may seem impossible, but not with these guys. We had an amazing experience with Ajdinis and a great time with the guide showing us every beauty and corner of the countries we went to. Highly recommend!Show more
