Can’t fault our experience with Jack at Balkan Escapes. From tailoring our trip, knowing we wanted than better than we did and making it come to life, and being on hand for last min questions when we were away - we had a fabulous holiday and it went seamlessly. Thanks again, we loved Croatia and will definitely be back (and also recommending Balkan Escape to everyone!)

I would highly recommend Balkan Escape. We went to Croatia and stayed in Split, Brac and Dubrovnik and in each place, Jack had listened carefully to our requirements as the hotels were perfect. Our various transfers by both taxi and catamaran ran smoothly and the suggestions for activities were helpful. We were caught up in the UK air traffic control issues and were particularly glad to have used a travel agent, rather than having booked independently as when our flight was delayed overnight, Jack responded immediately and was able to find us accommodation quickly so that this experience was as stress-free as possible. Overall, would definitely recommend Balkan Escape.

Very helpful and delivered the holiday we wanted.

The organisation & communication prior to our holiday was first-class. All our transfers arrived on time (even if the first driver won the grumpy old man award!) & got us to our destinations on time. Both hotels were in a fantastic location & were great in terms of facilities & service. We particularly rated the friendly service in Hotel Piran. We had a superb time in Slovenia & would definitely use Jack again. Highly recommended!

good communication, good suggestions and good response when we had a minor (and not their fault) problem.

I cannot rate Jack at Balkan Escape highly enough. From my initial enquiry, he listened carefully to my brief & came up with a proposed itinerary with three different accomodation options at different price points for a one week, 2 centre holiday in Croatia, combining Dubrovnik & an island. The proposal was quick, well presented and within budget. Crucially, we did not want to stay in a large hotel in DBV, but wanted a boutique hotel with a pool. We stayed at Bova Luxury Rooms, which was spot on, lovely rooms, great pool (shared with Orka Apartments, but never busy), close enough to get the bus or walk into Dubrovnik old town, but close to Lapad for restaurants. The harbourside location will be lovely when the marina works are completed! Jack then suggested Hotel Bozica on Sipan island - again perfect for us. All transfers were seamless and on time. Jack answered all my queries clearly & quickly, & managed to book us the perfect table at the Panorama restaurant by the cable car in DBV when I couldn't get through. I would thoroughly recommend Balkan Escape, and will definitely book through them again.

Balkan Escape provided us a fantastic holiday in Croatia. They combined technology, local knowledge and excellent customer service to efficiently design a bespoke holiday for a family of 5 within our budget. Balkan Escapes come fully recommended as a holiday planner!

I cannot recommend Balkan Escapes, and Jack especially, highly enough. What started as a tentative enquiry for ideas quickly became a well planned week holiday. With no experience of the region it would have taken me hours to get the knowledge that Jack was able to impart in no time. We to-ed and fro-ed a bit on hotel, but ultimately (and quickly) his recommendations were perfect for a mother/daughter trip: 3 days in a really fabulous b&b in Split (which lives up to its fantastic TripAdvisor reviews) and then 4 days in a gorgeous Dubrovnik hotel which my 15 year old was delighted to see was being featured at the same time by one of her TikTokers who was there on holiday, A real treat, all transfers catered for and with perfect instructions for each leg of the journey. Would definitely use again.

Great service wonderful hotel choice in Kotor.

Balkan Escape booked us a wonderful 10 day holiday starting in Split, moving onto the island of Korcula and then finishing in Dubrovnik. All went very smoothly. The hotel facilities were good and were in good locations. We enjoyed our stays in all three. Originally, we had chosen a hotel at Dubrovnik Marina but Jack kindly let us know about over-running roadworks outside this hotel that would affect our stay there. He offered to change our hotel and gave us another two options to choose from. We would highly recommend using Balkan Escape to book your holiday because of the excellent customer service we received and would definitely use them again in the future.

Simply AMAZING! Outstanding Balkan Escapes were brilliant from start to finish. Jack was extremely patient and insightful when it came to planning the trip. We wanted something a little more complicated and it worked wonderfully. The itinerary worked to exact detail and, well, Croatia is the most beautiful place. Thrilled with the service provided, always on hand with even the most minor query or questions. Can’t wait to book again. Will remember this trip forever. Amazing memories made. THANK YOU!!!!

we had a lovely 10 days stay in Croatia for family holidays. We would like to thank Jack and Balkan Escape for working with us in creating the itinerary and setting up the whole trip. all of their recommendations were perfect for our needs and suggested itineraries for each location were very well suited for us as well. Jack was always available to accommodate any changes from our end and we cannot thank Balkan Escape enough for providing us with such a great service. would highly recommend them to our friends and family.

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.

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
