I liked that the tour moved quickly though the four countries. That works for me. I’m not the type of guy who wants to see four monasteries in one day. I feel that the itinerary did a good job in covering the highlights of what could be covered in that amount of time. Essentially seven days. The driving times were never too long . Also would like to praise our guide Ervin. He has been doing this tour for years and his expertise is readily apparent. He also displayed genuine interest in trying his best to make the trip enjoyable for each member of the tour. There were only four of us which allowed Ervin to get to know everyone. His easy going manner is well suited to being a guide. He also did an excellent job with the driving. The accommodations were fine. Clean and for the most part the hotels were well situated. No problems arose for me with any of the amenities. All in all , good value for the price.Show more

Ervin was a fantastic guide/driver. He was knowledgeable about all of the locations, cultures, customs, as well as some fantastic restaurants and markets. The hotels were all great as well. The tour itself was compact and very thorough, but never rushed. We had free time in every stop and stay to explore and none of the commutes were too long. I never once felt like a tourist being rushed through a site and that's very important to me. Very highly recommended, it exceeded my expectations. Thank you.Show more

I can not say enough good things about the care, knowledge and service of this trip with Ervin/Vini of Balken Insights. After multiple covid delays, I was delighted to be able to go. It was a small tour, perfectly handled with care and detail to the itinerary, schedule, and enough personal attention to tourist's needs. I especially appreciated the thoughfulness of coffee stops and market runs, a change in a hotel when it didn't quite work out and comping a dinner meal without even so much as waiting for customer feedback, Ervin was on top of it! I was able to enjoy castles and fortresses, sweeping panoramic overviews, hiking and walking, culture and food, monasteries and churches galore! I would highly recommend this tour.Show more
