    We genuinely regret to read about the experience you have had prior to the start of your trip, as we know that this was not what you had been expecting. While we're pleased to note that you felt well-served by our Reservations Team when you spoke to our representatives, it is nevertheless concerning to learn of the call waiting time. While we are currently experiencing a higher volume of calls, we do aim to speak with all of our upcoming guests as quickly and efficiently as possible. As such, please be assured that this feedback has been shared with the team, to assess what potential improvements we might be able to make going forward. On another note, while we certainly understand your frustration with our policy regarding suspended trips, we do offer a few different options for our guests to choose from to suit their upcoming travel needs. Nevertheless, we have certainly taken your concerns on-board for the future. With the above in mind, we are wishing you a wonderful and memorable vacation on our Balkan Adventure trip, and we hope that this experience helps to restore some of your faith in our company.
