“A first holiday in Croatia, we had no idea where to start, other than we knew we really wanted to see Dubrovnik. Both advisers from Balkan Escape were brilliant, responsive, helpful and knowledgeable and helped by changing things to keep to our budget, with accommodation options to choose from, that met our needs. Our trip included all transfers and all of this went brilliantly, all on time with no issues. Usually, we book everything ourselves, but with lots going on at home it was lovely to have it all done for a change and I would definitely recommend Balkan Escapes and book with them again.”

“A really enjoyable and stress free holiday, with thanks due to Jack at Balkan Escape for putting together a well thought out and organised itinerary. Everything ran very smoothly, just as had been described in our pre- holiday emails. The flights, transfers, ferry bookings and the hotels were all booked and were all thoughtfully chosen. Thank you Jack and the team at Balkan Escape for your professionalism and attention to detail. I would thoroughly recommend!”

“Our first time booking with Balkan Escape and we would not hesitate to recommend them. Jack was very knowledgeable and with his help we decided on a three centre holiday consisting of Split, Korcula and Brac. Everything was perfect, beautiful small friendly hotels, great suggestions for day trips and all taxi and ferry transfers provided. We fell in love with Croatia and will definitely use Balkan Escapes again for future holidays - Thankyou Jack.”

“We particularly wanted a 2 centre holiday in Split and Hvar and Jack at Balkan Escapes put together the whole package for us. He recommended a beautiful hotel in Split, Hotel Marul, which was very good, indeed. Everything went to plan, including transfers and ferry bookings. It was all we wanted and we are grateful for his help. Would most certainly recommend and use again for any future holidays in the Balkans. Excellent service.”

Balkan Escape 5 star review on 27th June 2023

“Jack was exceptionally helpful and patient in setting up our holiday in Croatia and as it was our first time there this made it go seamlessly. Many thanks Fraser and Siobhan”

“Excellent holiday to Croatia! Balkan Escape prepared a tailor made itinerary for our multi centre trip. Hotels were great, beyond our expectation. Attention to detail regarding travel arrangements including travel pack was outstanding. Really impressed with Jack’s customer service and have no hesitation in recommending Balkan Escape for individuals looking for personalised itineraries to Croatia.”

“From end to end , professional, friendly, knowledgable and experienced. If you’re ever thinking of visiting the Balkans then speak with Jack and his team first.”

“We had a great time on Sipan Croatia, a beautiful island staying in Hotel Bozica. It's a lovely family owned hotel with attentive and friendly staff. The food is amazing and each evening you can choose fresh fish (catch of the day) if you desire. This holiday certainly exceeded our expectations and had it not been for Jack at Balkan Escape we wouldn't have found it ourselves. From start to finish everything was seamless, the transfers via speed boat and taxi perfect. I would highly recommend this company as initially we only had a vague idea of what we wanted and Jack more than met our requirements. Will definitely book with them in the future.”

“Excellent service provided by Jack and the team. Everything worked well and transfers went smoothly. We had a very enjoyable holiday and we would use the company again and have already recommended to friends.”

“From our initial contact right through until departure, Jack was very helpful and professional. Answered all my queries promptly. All documents arrived as promised and all flights, transfers, ferries and hotels were exactly what we had requested.”

“Great service from Kayleigh and Jack at Balkan Escape. They put together a wonderful multi centre holiday for me. Everything went so smoothly. The hotels they picked out were absolutely fantastic, we were over the moon.”

“The detail of planning done for our trip was carried out very well and what was described was of considerable help. One or 2 things could be better. The Vakamara Argosy was a beautiful hotel anx we had a lovely room, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We are quite happy to have 1 or 2 buffet meals but every night was too much of the sameness. Transfers to and from the hotel were very good although rather long between Dubrovnik and Kotor. In Kotor, the hotel room was excellent with a great view and balcony but unfortunately on the 3rd floor with 60 steps each time and no lift. Perhaps we should have enquired more about such things. (I am 80). Perhaps something to make travellers aware. Our perception was that restaurants in Kotor would be in easy reach of the hotel, but did not find this as it in involved a lot of walking to reach them and up/down rather difficult paths/steps. The alternative was bus/taxi into Kotor. However, with all that the weather was good, apart from 3 thunderstorms in Kotor. Both places have lovely scenery and access to water is very pleasant for boat trips. The one downside was the transfer from the Kotor hotel to the airport. The taxi did not turn up as indicated (at 8.20), and after much difficulty (with the help of the hotel receptionist) a phone call revealed that they had been at the hotel but did not see anyone outside so went away. They did not come into the hotel. A further taxi was secured and we got to the airport in good time. Tivat Airport was manic. Overcrowded and hot, with a Downpour when boarding leaving us soaking for 1 hour on the plane! Right from the initial contact with Balkan I felt confident that my enquiry then booking was handled very professionally and the documentation provided was of a high standard and very clear.”

“We've just returned from Croatia following an amazing holiday booked through Balkan Escapes. Jack was our contact and made everything so easy. We simply asked for 10 days at different locations and Jack did the rest. He gave us a selection of hotels at each location for us to choose and booked everything. We visited Dubrovnik for 3 nights staying at Hotel Lapad, then a catamaran to Hvar for 4 nights staying at the Amfora Beach Resort and another catamaran to Split for 3 nights at the Splendida Palace. Jack took care of everything sending documents through the post and via email. We had the vouchers in the order we needed them; boarding passes, transfers, hotels, catamarans...everything! The only thing we booked was a taxi to take us from our hotel in Dubrovnik to the ferry port. I would definitely recommend Balkan Escapes and will be booking with them again in the future.”

“From first contacting Balkan Escapes, the whole process was so easy. Jack was always so helpful and knowledgeable. All of our requirements were met and the package was tailored to our needs, Including all the extras (transfers, ferries etc). The accommodation that was recommended was fantastic. Overall, the service provided by this company was excellent and would definitely use again. There is nothing I would have changed with this booking and nothing that could have been improved in my opinion. Will definitely recommend to others!!”

“The two centre holiday comprising Lake Bled and Rovinj attracted my attention following a previously cancelled holiday to Bled during the covid pandemic. We provided dates when we could travel and Jack put together a wonderful trip. We had choice of hotels, both were good particularly the hotel in Rovinj which was small, friendly and positioned quietly away from the busy centre of Rovinj. Transfers from and to the airport and between resorts went smoothly. Drivers were on time and helpful. We were kept informed during the booking period, tickets and travel documents arrived promptly. I really can’t fault our experience. Balkan Escape made things so easy for us. Thank you for organising our holiday. We will certainly consider booking with you again and will recommend to family and friends.”

“Once again we have experienced the most unique set of adventures co ordinated by Jack of Balkan Escapes. Having selected 4 cities to investigate Jack organised personal drivers to ensure there was nothing to worry about in between each venue. All 4 hotels were of the highest standard within our budget. We unreservedly recommend Balkan Escape.I am happy to speak to anyone who is thinking about using Balkan Escape”

“Well organised trip”
