“As someone who likes to do all the organising, it was a massive leap of faith to put arrangements for the main holiday this year in someone else's hands! But we wanted to see as much of Croatia as we could and the multiple venue nature of the holiday was doing my head in, as was trying to get the flights we wanted. Jack took care of all of it. We did Split (3 nights), Korcula (4) and Dubrovnik (3). For each stop we were given multiple choices of hotel depending on what we were looking for and ideas for what to do. Each hotel was exactly what we wanted - the quality and location for each was spot on. Jack literally took care of everything, right down to checking us in on our flights. Would thoroughly recommend Balkan Escapes and we're already thinking about Slovenia and Montenegro next Summer.”

“We had a fabulous two-centre holiday for our first visit to Croatia, all organised by Jack at Balkan Escapes, who also suggested days out and places we should see. From start to finish the organisation was fantastic. It was reassuring knowing that we could contact the company if anything went wrong. Would definitely recommend them to friends and family and will certainly use them again. Thank you for arranging our first fantastic trip to Croatia!”

“Holiday was excellent. Considering standard of accommodation we felt the pricing was very good. Everything was considered in the holiday and we liked the extra little touches like booking us onto our flights in advance. We are already recommending Balkan escapes to friends and family.”

Helpful Report

“We booked a 10 day holiday in Montenegro and Croatia with Balkan Escape. The Service we received was excellent from the initial enquiry. They even offered a change of hotel in advance when ongoing roadworks would have disrupted our holiday. We would not hesitate to use them again.”

“Very good service from all at Balkan. Responsive and listened to your preferences and found the right hotels and itinerary to meet our preferences.”

“I would highly recommend Balkan Escapes from the initial enquiry to the minute the holiday had ended, it was excellent service . I compared prices with other operators and Balkan was still cheaper . I thought the day trip ideas were very helpful, to the email saying our flight was delayed by 10 mins. I will and have told everyone what a service you offer , thank you for making our trip to Croatia and memorable one”

“Wonderful holiday, super hotels, well organised and supported. Thank you.”

Helpful Report

“We had a great holiday in Croatia and everything Jack had sorted for us worked well, ran smoothly and was of a high standard. The Hotels he recommended were excellent ( he even changed one at the last minute due to building work) and all the transfers went very smoothly . It was reassuring to know everything had been sorted beforehand and made it all less stressful. With hindsight we wished we had not finished in Split , as that was the busiest place ( and extremely hot) and we personally preferred the quieter islands . We also made the mistake of thinking it would be ok to walk to the hotels with our suitcases. It was just too hot and there was a slight uphill climb to both. Overall the holiday was brilliant and we would definitely recommend Balkan Escapes and use them again.”

“From start to finish, Jack was brilliant at recommending places and was very prompt and patient coming back to me with all my questions. even when I encountered trouble abroad needing medical attention and Jack was very helpful when I needed to change my booking. It made me change my mind instead of booking independently to always use a travel agent like Balkan for when things don’t always go to plan. I highly recommend Balkan and Croatia!”

“We had a wonderful time in Croatia and Montenegro. Jack did a brilliant job of putting together a bespoke itinerary that was just what we wanted. His hotel recommendations were spot on and the flights, car transfers and ferries bookings were great. All six of the family really enjoyed it. The only tiny quibble was that the car transfer company was late twice and we only just made one ferry by the skin of our teeth.”

“Balkan Escape organised a fantastic holiday for us, responding quickly and efficiently to all of our requests for certain times, places and hotels. We had a lovely sunny holiday in Croatia in three centres and didn't want to come back! A great holiday organised impeccably.”

“Very responsive and informative”

Helpful Report

“* Did you feel that your holiday needs and requirements were met? Yes * Was your accommodation/transfers as you had expected? All the accommodation booked was clean and well presented. They were all in good locations for what we wanted to do while we were there. * How was the service provided by Balkan Escape? Lacked a little bit of attention to detail i.e. when we changed our plans to a different island the information pack for the new was never included. The format of the confirmation email of all the different bookings (we were visiting four different locations) could be structured clearer. * Would you book through Balkan Escape again, and would you recommend us to friends/family? We would book through them again and recommend them to friends and family however you should not do this last minute as it takes time to get the itinerary correct. Balkan Escape could offer a wider service by providing a facility to book day trips.”

“Provided a great curated tour tailored to our requirements.”

Helpful Report

“Excellent service from the start. Jack provided us with a range of hotel and travel options so we could tailor the trip to our preferences. Communication was very good, and we received an itinerary with details of our transfers, ideas for activities, etc. Just before departure, Jack contacted us to say there were roadworks outside one hotel, and offered us an alternative - a thoughtful touch one would never get from one of the big travel companies. The hotels, transfer arrangements, etc were very good. Everything went very smoothly on the trip, and we highly recommend Balkan Escapes to anyone planning a trip to Croatia or elsewhere.”

Balkan Escape 5 star review on 17th July 2023

Helpful Report

“From the start the company were extremely helpful. Jack sent me several itineraries until we had one which was exactly to our requirements. All travel arrangements and transfers went like clockwork and the hotels chosen were perfect!”

Helpful Report

“From the initial contact, nothing was too much trouble. Jack changed things around and kept us up to date if flights changed, as they did, and offered us alternatives. We were offered choices of hotels and the hotels we chose were excellent. Transfers were all on time, except one who was only 5mins after the time, as we were going to the airport, we were a little worried and called Balkan and received an immediate response,as the taxi pulled up! We felt well supported. Our only suggestion for improvements would be to pop into the pack a map of pick up, and drop-off points for car hire, although all the info re addresses were included we try not to use our phones when we are away, so the car hire was difficult to find especially in Rovinj. I would and have recommended Balkan Escape to others.”
