Trip Rating:
Our tour was excellent in cultural, local food, history and personal experiences. Our tour guide, Stephan, was also excellent and he is from Kotor or from The Balkans. The Balkans are still unspoiled by hoards of tourists, the beauty of Kotor, Plitvice Lakes National Park, Lake Bled are stunning as was the level of our local guides except one outing. Sarajevo was a surprise, a pleasant one as for a larger city with a lot of graffiti, the local experience was fascinating especially because of our local guide. He, Suvat, was a child when the 1992 war with Serbia occurred. The impact to his family and his experiences were a reminder of the horrors or war. However, the Bosnians prevailed and Sarajevo has greatly recovered with its rich history like also being where the catalyst for WWI occurred. We saw a beautiful bride prepare to enter City Hall for her first wedding. The tours to a local Olive Farm in Kotor and to Lipica Stud Farm were wondrous experiences. Our tour guide, Sonja, for Plitvice, was a kick. The food at the farm outside Motovun was so fresh and delicious. Great food! It was an excellent tour and we will be booking our next one soon!
