This tour had three separate segments that were lead by three separate tour guides. Segment 1 Romania and Bulgaria: This was a great tour we visited Transylvania as well as The capital of Bucharest. Then we spent two days in Bulgaria. The tour was great and our tour guide, Crina was wonderful. The second segment was the Balkans. We left Bulgaria and visited all the former republics of Yugoslavia minus Slovenia Plus Albania. It was truly amazing. Our tour guide, Simon was very good. The third leg was central Europe. It was only OK and the tour guide could have been better.Show more

  Traveler•Written April 2024
  We particularly need to travel starting on either the 18th or 19th December as our adult daughter can only travel then as it is her Christmas break/summer holiday. So, commencing 18th/19th December and finishing the 29th/30th December.
- Travel TalkOperator•Written April 2024
  Unfortunately, we do not offer tours starting on the 18th or 19th of December. Our available departures are scheduled for the 6th, 8th, and 13th of December. You may need to explore other travel companies or check Tour Radar's website for tours on your preferred dates.

  If I want to book my own hotels but join the tour, can that be accommodated? What is the rate for just the tour with no accommodation?
- Travel TalkOperator•Written September 2023
  Regrettably, we must inform you that in order to join one of our tours, you must purchase the whole tour package. Otherwise, we would be unable to accommodate you in the group.
