  • 14 days Balkans Tour from Sofia with Transylvania reviewer 1
    · July 10th, 2023
    I enjoyed the tour but there some places that were a waste of time. Some hotels were ok others pretty poor for what we paid. I notice the tour is now half of what I paid!! I guess that means we paid for the new uncomfortable vans. I was glad to see the end of this tour and thankful that I’m still alive. Our guide/driver was terrible. Driving at 150kph in pouring rain and sitting on the tail of cars in front. In the end we asked him to slow down but that only lasted a few days.

    This was an amazing tour. It's not for the faint hearted as you are moving every day and every day is jam packed with visits to fantastic historical and cultural sites, some dating back to the earliest known civilisations. This is in addition to travelling through and visiting some of the most stunningly beautiful scenery I have ever seen. The accommodation was much better than expected - mostly 4 star and all had something wonderful or quirky about them. Staying in Diocletian's palace in Split was a true highlight, as was the room built into the city wall in Kotor. Liviu is a wonderful guide (and an excellent driver!) His knowledge of the history, culture and architecture of the Balkan area is truly encyclopedic. He is also a genuinely good man, nothing is too much trouble and nothing seems to phase him. A tip - do some homework on the art, history and culture of the area before you go. This is an in-depth cultural tour and without some prior knowledge, it could be a bit overwhelming. A suggestion - an extra night's stop would be good, maybe in Dubrovnik. I didn't realise we were so close to a gorgeous beach there, so I missed the opportunity to swim.
