Incredible Balkan Experience Across Three Countries. This tour through Croatia, Montenegro, and Albania exceeded expectations in every way. It was the perfect introduction to the Balkans - diverse, scenic, and culturally rich. In Croatia, highlights included walking through the historic streets of Dubrovnik, stunning seaside boardwalks in Split & Zadar, read more and exploring the stunning coastline along the Adriatic. Montenegro offered breathtaking views in Kotor, with its dramatic mountains and beautiful bay - easily one of the most picturesque stops on the trip.
Albania was a big surprise. The vibrant and progressive capital Tirana gave a unique mix of history and modern energy. The food across all three countries was fresh, flavorful, and very affordable. The itinerary was well-paced, balancing guided tours with free time to explore independently. Transportation was smooth, border crossings were handled efficiently, and hotels were well curated, comfortable and centrally located.

Excellent tour of South Island NZ, suitable for senior citizens
Signature South Island Solo Travellers
Ron, WA, Australia, Feb 2026
This tour was very well organised and run. The coach, the hotel accomodation and the meals were all of a very high standard. Sue, the tour leader, did a great job under sometimes very trying circumstances. Some of the more elderly members of the group could be very demanding at times, but Sue managed to keep them all (mostly) happy. The itinerary was read more very well thought out and we saw most of the really amazing sights of the South Island. Younger people (and men) may well prefer a demographic profile that suits them better.
