The hotel accommodations were outstanding. I was very impressed with the breakfasts that were included with the tour. This was a very memorable trip.

Stunning Slovenia

02-Jun-2023

This was a fantastic trip! I booked Stunning Slovenia, which went to all the best places of Slovenia and included trips east of Ljubljana, which I was interested in seeing. I wanted to see the whole country, hahah! Communication was fantastic, the itinerary was sent and easy to follow, my airport transfers were always perfectly on time, and guides were fantastic. The walking tour of Ljubljana was a great intro and easy on the first day and I was left with tons of time to do things on my own. The highlight of my tour was actually my guide, Dejan, he was just the best. We had rain in the beginning and the next day it was clear so he took me back to a beautiful overlook and wine garden to take pictures again, and really went above and beyond to show me the gorgeous highlights of such a stunning place. Thank you D!!!

Were on a round trip...

26-Mar-2022

Were on a round trip and a week "royal Makadi bay" Everything is perfectly organized. The first two days on the cruise are tiring, the rest are easy and pleasant. Planned so that you can rest a little in the "desertros" resort. I think that the guide Nina Kosič contributed to the whole impression. We were supported even after the cruise. We felt very good and safe. We could (and did) contact her at any time. Every problem was solved. We travel often. We have visited a lot of countries in our long life, but we should have visited Egypt earlier. A beautiful trip, wonderful memories and experiences. We thank you

I have been staying at...

29-Jun-2023

I have been staying at the Calimera Sirens Hotel Malia since 6/23. I booked a sea view room paid handsomely from 23/6 to 7/6 via Tramway Trieste (Mrs. Renata) which is based on the palm tree but they don't want to give it to me saying that the agency was wrong. La Nina couldn't do anything. Can you do something? Otherwise I demand the €220 sea view supplement back.
