Balkan trip

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.
