Bled and Bohinj Valley Tour from Ljubljana
Ljubljana, Slovenia
My Rating

Excellent day trip with a very good guide. We had a small group of 5 adults and 2 children making the tour much more personal. Lake Bled is stunning and matches up to the postcard photos. The boat trip to the island in the lake, the church on the island, the castle and the other points of interest in Bled were all memorable. The waterfall at Bohinj and Lake Bohinj were great, too. A long day, but a very good day tour from Ljubljana.

Montenegro Day Trip from Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik, Croatia
My Rating

Excellent day trip from Dubrovnik. The bus trip up the mountain behind Kotor to look down on Kotor Bay is awesome! Kotor Bay is just beautiful. Budva is fairly ordinary, but worth seeing while in the area.

Mostar Day Trip from Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik, Croatia
My Rating

Very good day trip from Dubrovnik. Going across the border between Croatia and Bosnia and Hertzogovina several times on the trip was an interesting experience. The (rebuilt) bridge in Mostar is amazing and worth the visit by itself. Such a shame the old one was destroyed in the war in the early 1990s. The Muslim graveyard containing large numbers of tombstones of men (young and old) killed in the war is very chilling. How can people do such things! We had a wet day for our visit, so Mostar didn't show its best face, but the trip was well worth it.

Island of Korcula Day Trip from Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik, Croatia
My Rating

Korcula Island was interesting and well worth the visit. But it was a long day. The stops at the winery and at Ston on the way back to Dubrovnik were very ordinary and weren't worth the time. They could be deleted to shorten the day.

4-Day Classical Greece Tour: Epidaurus, Mycenae, Olympia, Delphi, Meteora
Athens, Greece
My Rating

This was an excellent tour covering all the most important Greek historical locations. Our guide, 'George' (a qualified archaeologist and tour guide), was excellent. He looked after us very well and gave us all the information we needed. Accommodation at the 3 Amalia Hotels we stayed at in Napflion, Delphi and Kalambaka was satisfactory, though of a lower standard than expected. The hotels were large with very nice common areas but slightly tired rooms that needed refurbishment. And we paid extra for first class, rather than tourist class hotel accommodation. Maybe we only got tourist class hotel rooms, because lower class rooms than the ones we had would have been unacceptable? The hotels were all a fair way out of town. This was ok for the conducted tour, but would have been a problem for independent travellers who wanted to spend time in the towns. Overall, an excellent tour, with only the hotel room quality dropping the rating from 5 to 4 stars.
