“Balkan Escapes provided a professional and helpful service. They listened to our needs and provided the flexibility needed to accommodate and change their set itinerary. Great communication and background support throughout. Airport transfers were great but nothing was arranged following the Ferry transfers to different locations within Croatia. We were warned that some Taxis company's exploit travellers so we used 'Bolt' (recommended), to pre book and pay for a taxi. It didn't turn up, leaving us out of pocket and having to pay for another. I'm not sure why these transfers were not booked by Balkan Escapes when all the others were provided without request. Overall Balkan Escapes provided us with a enjoyable holiday making it easy to book with clear instructions for a multi centre trip”

“What a fantastic trip you put together for us! We loved Dubrovnik and Korcula. All the travel arrangements worked like clockwork, the hotels were lovely and we enjoyed many of the trips you suggested. We were impressed by your attention to detail. We will certainly use you again and recommend you to others.”

“Our first visit to Croatia and chose specialist agent Balkan Escapes to put together an experience for us. I gave Jack a brief outline of what we wanted from the holiday and after some emails back and forward we had the itenary that we were looking for. Jack must know which are the best hotels because our accommodation was 4 star perfect. Transfers were efficient too and the rental car was fine. We went in September and it seemed like the best time to go. Pleasantly warm, busy with tourists, but not too crowded, epecially in Krka and Platvice which we were told get very busy peak season. I'd happily book with Balkan Escapes again. The whole process was easy, problem free, and we had a great holiday.”

“I’m so glad I found Balkan Escape to plan and book our holiday. From the start they were really responsive and prompt with information, providing ideas and suggestions that gave us enough information to make great choices on where to go and stay. The pick ups from and to airports were on time and professional. The app that they put all the holiday information into is really easy to use and helpful. They also made suggestions with links to sites for what to do each day of the holiday which was amazing. Best holiday company I’ve used yet and would definitely recommend them !”

“Thank you for a wonderful holiday. Jack was so patient sorting out the 3 hotels in different locations over several changes. All the transfers were on time and courteous. Our first 2 hotels I. Kotor and Dubrovnik were fabulous and enjoyed by all of us. We found our last hotel extremely disappointing after the first 2. This was our choice of the options offered but would not recommend it to others. We would definitely use BE again and recommend to others.”

“We had a wonderful week planned by Balkan Escape. The accommodation in Split and Dubrovnik were amazing. The location in both areas were perfect. Both were very clean and food was lovely both locally and within the hotel. Any problems, we were able to email and get prompt replies. We would most definitely recommend Balkan Escape to anyone who would like to visit Croatia.”

“This was my first time using an agency such as Balkan Escape and I am so impressed. The team were super helpful and patient from the initial consultation as I made many tweaks to my proposed itinerary. The whole process was very easy, all documents delivered as scheduled pre departure and everything whilst on holiday went exactly to plan. The transfers were excellent, all hotels were lovely and I received upgraded rooms in 2 of 3 on arrival. When adverse weather threatened a ferry journey, the team responded quickly to my query and put me at ease. I have already recommended this company to so many people and will definitely use them again. Thank you to all the team especially Heather & Jack.”

“Excellent service from first contact to recommendations and advice of ways to see the best of Croatia to fit in with our needs. We particularly would recommend Jack Fleming for his knowledge and suggestions for accommodation timescales and ideas of things to do. First rate service throughout. We definitely will book with Balkan Escapes for another trip and have already recommended them to our friends.”

“We booked a 15 day Croatia holiday stopping in 4 locations on the mainland and islands. From start to finish the service from Balkan escapes was brilliant and very well priced. The package was adapted several times to meet our needs before booking with no fuss, everything ran perfectly smooth during the holiday, all tickets, transfers, rooms, ferry’s etc were as planned. All the accommodation was very good, matched the package description and all were in good locations with good rooms. We could not fault this holiday in any way and would highly recommend Balkan escapes. I will definitely use them again.”

“This was our first trip to Croatia and I’m so glad we booked through Balkan Eacapes. Professional company who provided excellent service throughout. The information on each location was so helpful. All the transfers ran smoothly and the hotels were great with any issues being resolved where they could be. We will definitely be using this company again because we can’t wait to visit Croatia again.”

“I asked Balkan Escape to arrange a holiday to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary, visiting multiple destiations in Croatia. They came up with suggested locations and gave us time to research their recommendations.The holiday certainly met our needs and requirements. We stayed in 4 different locations within Croatia. 2 transfers were by catamaran and we were a little worried how this would work. As soon as we could we checked out where we needed to catch the catamaran and watched what others travellers were doing, this helped us and put our minds at rest. We need not of worried because everything was quite simple. All private transfers arrived on time and the drivers were very chatty and helpful. We stayed in 4 hotels, slightly dissapointed in the one (threadbear towels and worn out matresses, despite being 4 star) but the other 3 were fabulous. Bottles of wine were in each room with congratulation notes for our anniversary, a very nice touch. This had obviously been communicated by Jack at Balkan Escape to the hotels The booking procedure with Balkan Escape was excellent, they kept us informed about when documents would be emailed and everything arrived as expected We would definately book with them again if we were going on multi centered holiday and have no hesitation to recommend to others. Thank you for arranging such a memorable holiday.”

The engagement with Balkan Escape was positiive from start to finish. and we were kept informed about any changes/impact to our booking in the time leading up to our holiday. Our booking involved hotels, car hire, and transfer and all went as planned. We wouldnt hesitate to book again in the future”

“We had a lovely 2 centre holiday through Balkan escapes which was so restful, well organised and person centred. From the start staff were so helpful giving options and making suggestions and tailoring it around what we wanted. Communication was exceptional and all hotels and transfers exactly as described. We would never have put together such a great holiday independently!”

“Excellent holiday in Montenegro and Korcula, Croatia. Balkan Escape's organisation worked to the letter, everything exactly as planned. Sea Star Hotel in Becici was wonderful, immaculate with wonderful staff and perfectly sited right on the beach with many restaurants and bars nearby. Aminess Liburna Hotel, in Korcula, has arguably the finest view in the world, looking across a beautiful Adriatic bay onto Korcula Old Town, less than 900 metres away, breathtaking. We had a beautiful double level room with the balcony overlooking the same view. OK, the hotel generally could do with an update but it was fine. Balkan Escapes sorted the transfers (including ferries) from and back to Dubrovnik Airport, they were all punctual in very comfortable cars, drivers were very good and informative. Never travelled with Balkan Escapes before but I wouldn't hesitate to do so again, thank you for this wonderful holiday.”

“A very well organised holiday. All of the hotels were excellent. We went to Split, Korcula, Dubrovnik and Kotor. The transfers between hotels were in the main, on time and what we expected. The hotels were in great locations and were all clean, easy to access and met our expectations.”
