Traveltalk Tours Ultimate Balkans tour We recently participated in the 19 day tour from Bucharest to Athens, (October 2024). Yes, the tour visits all the places mentioned but be aware that it moves at such a pace that you often don’t have time to look around the cities where you stop for the night. Usually due to late arrival each evening & location of hotels from the city centre. Traveltalk tours use words such as “Dynamic” & “Fast-Paced”, which in reality means they are trying to pack too much into the timeframe on offer. I believe the reason that they can offer the Tour at the price is because they maximise the number of people travelling - (up to 42 participants). Travelling with this many people is not enjoyable & makes for slower moving. There is obviously a lot of time spent on the bus travelling to get to all these places with some days involving over 8 hours travelling time without actually seeing much. Personally, I would not recommend the Tour. I would estimate that they run at least 20 of these tours every year if not many more & they have been running them for a few years. That’s more than 1500 people that have participated in this tour & they only have 1 review on their website regarding this tour. What does that tell you?

Absolutely loved my Travel Talk experience in Greece. Did the 7 day Greek Island Hopper. If you’re lucky enough to get Marios as your guide you’ll be blown away. This guy made it incredibly special. What was particularly noticeable was how he went out of his way to include every single person and make sure they had the best experience possible. The accommodation was lovely, the itinerary was spot on, the recommendations were great. A good balance between affordability and quality. But the sense of having an adopted family for the week made it unforgettable and that’s largely down to our guide. Highly recommend this trip but if I was doing it again I definitely would include the Athens option at the beginning. Book it!

I am amazed how travel talk takes their customers satisfaction seriously. I recently wrote a review which I feel I need to take down after travel talk explained to me where they’re at with my issue. I am satisfied with their explanation and will definitely use them again in future travels. One thing I’m going to say too is that I feel safe with them. No one gets left behind. Head counting was a must before the bus leaves for the next destination. It’s nice to know that when you’re in a strange country, someone out there looks out for the safety of everyone. I will definitely recommend the Balkan trip (a colleague of mine is already planning to with her daughter) - first of the many I’m going to book for this company.

Highly recommend this tour! Turkey was stunning and lots of different places were covered by the itinerary but my time was made so much better thanks to our guide Mustafa who went out of his way to ensure we had an amazing time. The gulet was definitely a highlight as was the hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia which has been on my bucketlist for the longest time. Thanks TravelTalk for an unforgettable experience!

This tour was one of the best things that I've done during my travels and exceeded all expectations. The itinerary, accomodation, activities & locations visited have all been incredible. You get it all - the bustling city, history, culture, coastal beaches, & all the natural beauty that Turkey has to offer! The pace of the tour is without fault. You see so much in just 12 days but get plenty of time to relax as well. The tour guide Mustafa is extremely knowledgeable and he takes care in his work. He looks after his passengers well and as a solo female traveller this was very comforting. He has the best recommendations for shopping/food etc, & also has a great sense of humor which lifts the whole atmosphere. Overall an amazing experience and one you should book if you're considering it. I enjoyed it that much I've already booked another tour with Travel Talk Tours! 10/10
