Kerri Paasse

If you are looking for a relaxed, easygoing tour around Europe then this is not the one for you! If you want to squeeze 8 amazing countries into 16 amazing days, then this is the one. The days were long and packed full of fairytale towns, lots of sights to see and fascinating histories to learn. It really is an extremely underrated region of the world and I loved it all. Accommodations were all very nice , and the tour is really excellent value for money.
And I definitely need to mention Simon, our guide in the Balkans who spoke so passionately about his beautiful corner of the world, and taught us all a lot along the way.
I came home exhausted but very happy and would highly recommend this tour.
