“Being a working single parent of two young adults in full time education I was struggling to find the time to seek something they both would enjoy. Balkan Escape were extremely helpful with recommendations and ideas, not overwhelming me with options and patient with my timing of responses. We had a great trip, 4 nights in Split and 3 in Dubrovnik, excellent door to door service. Both hotels were very well located and welcoming staff. The information provided was clear and timely. Highly recommend and will definately use them again. Thanks Jack”

“This is the second time we have used Balkan Escape and have been very pleased with both the service before the holiday and the smoothness of the arrangements during the holiday. From an initial outline of what we wanted, Jack prepared an outline proposal and options which needed very little tweaking. We were given information about the local area and suggested trips/activities based on our initial enquiry. All the travel documents arrived in good time and the arrangements (flights, car hire, transfers, hotel bookings) all went smoothly. The whole service felt personal and professional.”

“I wanted to see Plitvice Lakes and Split and asked Balkan Escape to help. They suggested hotels and tours for me to choose between. Plitvice was a paradise - the most astounding place. We visited on 2 consecutive days and barely noticed that we walked 20km each day as the scenery was so captivating. The 'hotel' turned out to be just a room which confused me at first but I came to understand that it was fitting to the environment. Plitvice is such a rural idyll that swish corporate type hotels would not be right. The Balkan Escape choice was much more respectful to the local environment amd people. We stayed in Imperial House Rooms. The breakfast was substantial and meant we didn't eat then until dinner and visited the local bistros within walking distance. Our hotel on Split was perfect. Beautifully clean, fantastic staff and generous breakfast. The Palace was just there and the beach 15 minutes walk. We had a dental emergency and within minutes of us arriving the wonderful receptionist Dora had organised a dentist for us, an user to get there (through her account as we didn't have one) and then an user to collect us and take us to the beach. We were very grateful. Maja at the hotel suggested walks and restaurants and we followed her suggestions gratefully. All.organisation was done by Bslkan Escape and could not have been smoother. This included flights and check-ins and transport from airports to hotels and between hotels. All taxis turned up exactly on time and we're comfortable. Hotels were ready for our early check-ins. This made for a very relaxing and easy holiday.”

“First rate service from Jack at Balkan Escape. From calling back at the appointed times, to taking on board everything we wanted for our holiday, the attention to detail was exceptional. Everything was very smooth (booking, communication, paperwork, all transfers) and our accommodations were exactly as expected (stunning seaview from out Dubrovnik apartment - definitely worth the bit extra). I've already recommended Balkan Escape to several people & we would definitely use them again if we go back to the area. Many thanks Jack for our superb holiday!”

“Balkan Escape organised out two centre holiday in Croatia. The two hotels were pretty standard, although we did not eat an evening meal at either hotel. The breakfasts were plentiful and fine. The transfers were organised and worked out very well. We were kept informed of the details and timing of transfers. All of the Croation people involved were excellent. The holiday certainly met our expectations.”

“We had a fantastic holiday to Split, Brac and Hvar arranged by Balkan Escapes, everything from the airport transfers, hotels and ferry transfers ran smoothly. Cannot fault the level of service provided from all at Balkan Escapes and nothing was too much trouble when helping plan an itinary, a range of accomodation was proposed for us to choose from and any changes dealt with efficiently. It was niced to have someone look out for us when a ferry was cancelled due to windy weather an alternative was arranged and tickets emailed promptly. I would definately book with Balkan Escapes again and would not hesitate to reccomend to family and friends.”

“I contacted Jack and the team at Balkan Escape after deciding on a holiday to Croatia but struggling to find an itinerary that would suit everyone going. Jack was extremely helpful and quickly found us something suitable at a very reasonable price. The holiday involved several pre-arranged transfers which were all seamless and the hotels were brilliant. We loved the locations and would definitely recommend Balkan Escape to anyone.”

“We had a fabulous holiday with Balkan Escape. The holiday was tailored to our needs and we really liked that we were given three hotel choices at each resort. The hotels were all really good. We had a lovely rooms , two with stunning views ,one at Lake Bled and one in Piran. The transfers were always early and the drivers, polite and helpful. It was really helpful to have suggestions of activities for our time in each place. We hired bikes in Lake Bled and Piran and there is a good infrastructure for cyclists. It would have been useful to know that the popular restaurants in Ljubljana get booked up at least a week before as we could have booked them in advance. We will definitely use Balcon Escapes again, and we’ve already recommended them to our friends and family.”

“Great holiday to Croatia (Rovinj, Zadar and Split) with Balkan Escape. Especially loved the hotel in Rovinj, the Villa Tuttorotto. The staff were incredibly hospitable and gracious and our bedroom had a stunning view of the harbour. Private transfers were superb. Friendly drivers, always on time. The whole experience of giving Jack at Balkan Escape our budget and where we wanted to visit to completing the trip was easy and most enjoyable. Croatia is a beautiful country and Balkan Escape has the knowledge and experience to deliver the perfect holiday. Would totally recommend.”

“We have had a brilliant second trip to Croatia. Cannot rate the Princ heritage rooms enough the proximity to the local sights was brilliant, sitting in the square listening to the music every night and the breakfast at Bokeria kitchen and wine was amazing. We then moved on to a second trip to Dubrovnik this time we got to experience the evenings there. Food at Lady Pi Pi was lovely with great company and views of the city. Our last stop was Hotel Bozica, the perfect place to switch off and relax, saying that we did go for a walk across the island and we also managed a couple of runs in the scorching heat! The food and service there is fabulous, the staff are a credit to the hotel. We will be returning as there is a lot more that Croatia has to offer.”

“From the moment we first spoke, the Balkan Escape team listened to our wish-list and turned it into a seamless itinerary. Every activity, hotel, and connection matched (or beat!) what we’d hoped for. Each hotel was spotless, comfortable, and well located, and every transfer—whether by car, boat, or plane—ran like clockwork. We never had to worry about “what’s next?” The staff were oustanding - friendly, proactive, and genuinely eager to make our trip special. Without hesitation we would recommend Balkan Escape -in fact, we’re already talking about our next trip. Thank you for turning a wish-list itinerary into an effortless holiday!”

“3 did a three centre holiday and everything ran like clockwork. Very well organised by Balkan Escapes. Hotels all good. Transfers and ferry connections well planned. Special mention to Jack at Balkan Escapes who put the itinerary together and sorted a problem when a ferry was cancelled due to weather. Fully recommend”

“Travel, car hire and accommodation choices were very good - especially the small hotels. Advice at time of booking was comprehensive. Nothing to fault, and everything went to schedule. Car was via Enterprise, this was perfectly fine but had clearly a lack of care from previous hirers judging from the many marks all over!”
