This tour was a wonderful mix of culture, (complicated)history, amazing food great company and breath taking scenery. Pavle was a great leader, knowledgeable, amusing and interesting to listen to. Really loved Sarajevo and our dinner with local couple was very memorable as they had lived through the siege and hearing first hand experiences was an eye opener. A unique part of the world with beautiful landscapes, put it on your must see list!

Go, if only for your eyes: this trip has got eye-opening history, eye-popping scenery, and eye-catching cultural diversity. The visit to a beautiful private home in Sarajevo for a cooking lesson and dinner and conversation was itself worth a trip across the Atlantic.

A good mix of activities, interesting historical sites, great food, and excellent guides and drivers. The hike and train ride at Tara National Park were wonderful.

Poor choice of hotels, especially in Belgrade. Boring itnerary. Horrible food, but that was because Balkan food is awful to begin with. Like a poor interpretation of Italian and Greek food. No value for the money. I won't be traveling with Intrepid again. I think we should be refunded for two of the hotels- one for being shabby and dirty, the othe for serving a breakfast which sickened part of the group. The only reason I didn't get sick, is that I was eating very little of the food offered anywhere during the trip.
