    · April 24th, 2025
    The two bus drivers did a safe job (which is very important!). The first tour guide from Sofia to Skopje was above average, whereas the tour guide from Skopje to Athens was not overly helpful for the travelers. Most of the within-city tour guides did a satisfying job, although city-tour time was often scarce, so too much information to digest. The hotel rooms from Sofia to Skopje were mostly above average whereas some of the 3-stars hotels in Greece (not the last one in Athens) had some issues. In sum, although some days were quite tiring (especially waiting at the borders), I learned a lot about the Balkans (historically and culinarily) and got to know quite some nice international co-travelers in the bus (mainly from North America and Australia). Between 4 and 5 stars, if you want to see a lot of capitals and important sites in the Balkans in only 12 days.
