Balkan trip

My son and I did a 12 day trip round the Balkans starting in Skopje and finishing in Belgrade. Our guides Vlado, Lence and Tim from Macedonia Private Tours were amazing. In our time with them we covered nearly 2,500 Km visiting 6 counties, with a variety of stops covering fortresses to wineries. The experience with my son was priceless! Over the time with theses people they b came good friends and would highly recommend them to give you an incredible tour

Very nice staff and so amazing tours

Excellent tour - Fascinating regions and cultures - Comfortable hotels and excellent meals - Modern coach and adapted air conditioning - We were very satisfied with this tour. Certainly, some delight in criticism, without paying attention to the local culture, without soaking up the fabulous views and landscapes of this region, without taking the always relevant information from the OCTAY Guide, systematically denigrating the quality of meals (to believe they have a Michelin-starred chef at home?) yet very balanced and hearty. We will come back with First Voyage because the formula is pleasant and dynamic.

Hotel to escape!!! unhealthy hotel... not maintained... dirty!!! only the reception and the room with the bar traces a past probably luxurious but abandoned long ago. dirty windows and curtains more maintained for a long time. dirty windows first trip which promises on its advertisements 3 stars rooms(photos in support) had reserved us a small room, a fine duvet, dirty carpet. leakage in the bathroom broken radiator still in the room, light cover over a bed, broken small TV no longer working. low light diffused by low consumption bulbs. to serve the 120 people of the 3 buses first trip. a distribution of 4 hot vegetables ( pasta rice, canned beans), , 3 cold (cabbage, carrots, salad) a small piece of chicken or pork soaked in a liquid juice) a small piece of cake all arranged on a counter in front of which you have to queue, a sign indicating to take only one serving per person. the next morning a powder must be coffee, I did not touch any indication on the jar) teabags...but more hot water and no one to ask for it. no fruit, no cream or yogurt. a slice of bread no or few personnel composed by an old gentleman in a vest for the morning. the day before for dinner always the old gentleman in vest, a woman matron style an old gentleman with a cart selling drinks. sad staff, unkind not answering questions. incredible!!!! I had never seen this bus of 44 people... 3 buses were running on the same circuit No headphones... we couldn't hear well at the back of the bus. as far as our group is concerned despite the first and last hotel (in Macedonia) the '3 other hotels over 4 nights were correct to very correct ' and our very friendly accompanying guide answering questions very well. but knowing that with first trip you can have a less friendly guide and shabby hotels (in advertisements we do not have the name of hotels to check) we don't have to rely on the beautiful pictures on the pubs we won't leave again with first trip; I didn't talk about departures at 7am lunch being at 6am or 6:30am or get up at 5am / 5:30am max because you have to repack your bags every morning return to the hotel at 6.30 pm. meal at around 7 pm. mandatory visit of 3 shops (approximately 2 hours) jewelry, leather, carpet) no visit to museums on the other hand free visits in cities without guide of 2h, 2h30 often used to kill time . over a week 3 city visits with local guide, of an hour. explanations by the accompanying guide on the bus about 1h/day all this accepted by consumers to get the best price ...but without the quality of course...you can not have everything!!!!!...is this reasonable good?

You immediately notice that this organization comes straight from the heart, for Bosnia, nature and making the guests as pleasant as possible. Absoluut een aanrader: you come as a guest and leave as a friend.

Visit Konjic is a very nice place to stay. It is said: ‘You come as a guest, you leave as a friend’ and that’s how it feels. The staff at Visit Konjic are extremely enthusiastic, committed and warm. You feel more than welcome. The food is perfectly catered for and the rooms are neatly in order. The activities on offer are truly amazing and full of challenge. Everything is good for each other. Canyoning and canoeing were my favorite! The holiday in Bosnia was one big adventure, made possible by Visit Konjic. A big compliment to the whole team!

I went on a singles group vacation and it was AMAZING. I came as a guest, and I indeed left feeling like a friend. I became stronger. Dare to go Balkan - a challenging and versatile 10 day tour in Bosnia. It has Visit Konjic as a basecamp and the tour is made possible by the passionate teammembers from Visit Konjic. Location: Situated conveniently near several mountain ranges, lakes, modern and rural villages. Near Mostar and Sarajevo. Compound: Modern, clean hotel with 12 rooms, a common room, material renting, a garden with a training wall for climbing and for via ferrata... Even a hangbridge is included. There is a campfire site. Off season they will be adding to the compound so check their current website when you book, to see what they added. Rooms: I was in a 2 persons room, with two beds, tv, with bathroom. It is clean and decorated conveniently, if maybe a little basic. Food: Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all tasty, with a nice variety of Bosnian food. There were vegetarian and gluten free options. Alcohol is not served by them, but we were allowed to bring our own. Activities: You can rent gear needed for nature: hiking, rafting, canyoning, swimming, climbing and more. You need a good guide in this beautiful country with its extreme nature and culture. Luckily, the team consists of great guides. We were encouraged to train, play games, make friends, deepen relations and explore nature as well as culture. Nature: The surrounding nature is more than gorgeous. Group leader / team: An experienced and intensely passionate team. They are a international group of people. They consist of fantastic all-rounders and several specialists. They speek English well, offer advice, answer questions and it is obvious how much they care about your experience their top priority.

It was fantastic, the staff are so friendly and sweet and help you with everything. The food was also definitely fine!! We did the 2 day mountain hike, this was really breathtaking, definitely worth it, super nice Guide who also happened to speak Dutch. We also went rafting, this was also very cool, nice guides. The canyoning was super cool when we were in the water, stepping there took a while but fortunately there were motivating guides who helped where necessary. We slept in the new cottages, which were top! Super clean!!!! Very cool 5 days there:) couldn't be better, thank you so much!!!!! (Lore, Scouts Hubertus Belgium)

Our plan was to explore Bosnia with 12 friends. We trekked for 7 days from Sarajevo all the way to Mostar. Visit Konjic welcomed us like family, they picked us up in Sarajevo and accompanied us from one activity to another, like real friends. We didn't have to worry at all, everything was arranged for us. We slept in the mountains like kings in the best sleeping bags ever, which they had just bought new. The table was always richly set with typical Bosnian dishes that they prepared especially for us. If we had to change the schedule due to the weather, we could consult together for an alternative. Nothing was too much for them, they even took us all the way to Dubrovnik to be able to say goodbye to each other there. But as we say in Belgium: Tot ziens en geen vaarwel! We will definitely come back

We were a large group of friends who decided on exploring the Balkans. VisitKonjic’s team of professionals were absolutely amazing. They had planned all of the aspects of our trip extremely well and found them to be indispensable. We experienced hiking, rafting, city tours, hotels in multiple cities and countries, everything was flawless. Highly recommend using them. Sanjin and his team are absolute professionals who treat you like family !
