From the very start of the trip, our guide Petar was knowledgeable and helpful. Each stage of the trip was discussed, described and amended as per our agreement. The places we visited were well described and Petar then made excellent recommendations on where to visit, shop and eat. A truly great host and I hope we have the pleasure of traveling with Petar again.
Vlado, our guide, made this the best tour we've had in the Balkans! His knowledge, experience, humor, and exceptional service exceeded our expectations in every way possible! Vlado instantly became not just our guide but our friend. Our original plan was to take a bus from Skopje to Sofia, Bulgaria and then on to Thessaloniki Greece. After the Nis tour, Vlado told us that he would not only take us to Sofia and Thessaloniki, but add a day of touring to Lake Ohrid, Macedonia as well as give us a personal guided tour of Sofia and Thessaloniki. His friendliness, service, and experience was outstanding! We simply could not have asked for a better driver, transport, and guide and it all happened due to us and him hooking up on a tour that had it not happened we would have never met him and made life long incredible memories. Vlado is THE best ever!
Thanks for your kind words, we are always at your disposal and will be waiting on your next adventure!
