How long are the bus drives on average each day? Also, is it possible to add a 1-2 day side trip from Dubrovnik to Montenegro onto the end of the tour?

About the daily bus journeys, they are designed to be comfortable and well-paced. On average, you can expect: • Between 2 to 4 hours of driving per day • Some longer days (around 5–6 hours) when covering bigger distances • Regular stops for rest, photos, and sightseeing, so it doesn't feel like continuous travel Regarding your idea of adding Montenegro after Dubrovnik, that's a great choice. While we're not able to modify the tour itinerary directly, you can absolutely: Extend your stay in Dubrovnik with 1–2 additional nights • From there, take a day trip or short stay in Montenegro (popular places include Kotor or Budva, which are quite close) This is a very common extension and works really well logistically.

Tour: 1. The use of two languages tended to be somewhat confusing, especially since some of the tour guides spoke with a heavy accent in their English version. 2. The PA system on the bus were bad The voices of the travel guides were quite “muffled” and hard to understand. A lot of information had to be repeated. 3.While most of the accommodations were pretty good, a couple of them were not that great, particularly in Sighisora and in Venice Mestre Hotel Delfine Show more

Just completed the Balkanic Miracle tour. We had a great experience due to the comprehensive itinerary and incredible logistics and planning by Europamundo. Despite the distances we had to travel everyday, the Europamundo guides gave us plenty of rest stops and managed the border crossings smoothly and efficiently. For the Bulgaria-Romania-Serbia-Bosnia leg, we were only 4 English speakers on a full bus of Spanish speakers. Having read reviews from other English speakers who ended up on majority Spanish-speaking buses, we were initally apprehensive. But kudos to Europamundo for assigning to our small group one of their most capable bilingual English and Spanish speaking guides, Viktor Toshev. He went the extra mile every day to ensure that we were not treated as an afterthought (as some other reviewers on other tours have commented). He was organised, his commentary clear, thorough but succinct, and his energy and enthusiasm was infectious, making the sites come alive. Due to the level of care we were given, it often felt like we were on a private customised tour and not a big group package tour. A good guide makes all the difference! The modular nature of the tour meant we had to be handed over to other guides along the way. This was smoothly done thanks to the efficency of guides Bibliana, Maria, Marco, Elena and Rafa. Great job Europamundo!Show more
