  Overall, the "Spirit of the Balkans" tour with Nature Trips was fantastic and absolutely worth it. I should note that there were only 3 clients during our tour + our guide. We were flexible in our schedule and the pacing was just right with ample personal free time to do what we wanted to do. I imagine if it was a larger group, the tour would be more rigid in order to meet the schedule. We used a Mercedes Benz 7 passenger van for just the 3 of us. This was big enough for our luggage and we travelled comfortably. Ana was very professional about her work as tour guide cum driver. She was always prompt and was also in touch with our needs. She welcomed us with a package that included, among other things, a poncho that came in very handy during the 2 days that it rained. She also treated us like her longtime girlfriends. We chatted and talked about everything during the two weeks that we were together. She always gathered feedback from us about the hotel rooms, our local guides, the city tours, etc. for the continuous improvement of their future tours. about the places we visited, and anything Only daily breakfasts were included in the tour, so we were at liberty to try out our preferred food or cuisine. Breakfast at the hotels were adequate. We made stops during our driving days to very small cities to grab lunch/ snack instead of just stopping over at a gas station. Hotel quality vary city per city. They were always clean, but not as big or modern as others. Location wise, a majority of hotels we stayed in were within walking distance of the city centers. All hotels we stayed in had free WiFi, some more reliable than others. The only thing that deviated from our advertised itinerary were the the wine tasting and visiting the inside of the mosque in Sarajevo were stated in the itinerary, these did not happen. I was not particularly interested in these activities but it set us up for disappointmet and the nagging feeling of being short changed.Show more

  We loved the hikes; only wished they could have been longer. We wish we didn't have to spend so much time driving, but we understand that there is no other way to see so many things in so few days. We would have liked to spend more time in Sarajevo. Don't schedule Nis for a Monday since the best sites are closed on Monday. Overall, it was a great introduction to the history and natural beauty of the Balkans, but be prepared for a lot of driving.Show more
