The trip to the Balkans was truly eye-opening, bringing history and culture to life in a way that made every stop feel meaningful. Each place had its own story to tell, and experiencing it firsthand was both fascinating and thought-provoking. Kosovo was an unexpected gem. It’s not a destination you see on many itineraries, which makes visiting even more special.

A fantastic introduction to eight diverse and historically rich countries in the Balkans. The itinerary was well-paced, covering a lot of ground and showcasing a variety of landscapes, cultures, and historical sites. Some locations felt like they deserved more time, but given the ambition to experience so much in a single trip, the balance was well managed. Ivan was an outstanding tour leader—highly organized, knowledgeable, and adaptable to any unexpected challenges along the way.

An incredible tour through three unique countries in the Caucasus, brought to life by knowledgeable local guides. The highlights were endless—seeing Mount Ararat through Khor Virap Monastery under clear blue skies was unforgettable, and exploring the ancient Vardzia cave city in Georgia felt like stepping back in time. A well-rounded itinerary and fantastic value for money!

An absolutely amazing Peaks of the Balkans trek through remote and breathtaking landscapes! The views were spectacular, the food at the B&Bs was delicious, and the warmth of the local people made the experience even more special. It took some time to adjust to the challenging terrain, but every step was worth it. I never expected to find Alp-like views right here in the Balkans. That unexplored corner of Europe deserves to be on every trekker’s bucket list!

An unforgettable trip to Central Asia! The accommodation and food exceeded expectations, and the local country guides were excellent. There were so many highlights—hunting with a Golden Eagle in Kyrgyzstan, trekking through the stunning mountains of Tajikistan, and exploring the breathtaking cities of Uzbekistan. Some drives were long and on rough roads, but that only added to the adventure. Adventure Bound took care of all formalities to secure the visa on arrival for Turkmenistan, something I couldn't have managed on my own. Highly recommended for experienced travelers!

We all fell in love with Bulgaria and its breathtaking Rila and Pirin mountain ranges. From airport pick-up to drop-off, everything ran smoothly. Our guide ensured a seamless experience, sharing deep knowledge of both local history and the stunning mountain landscapes we explored. The variety of walks was incredible—remote alpine lakes, dense forests rich with fungi, airy ridges, and towering peaks all came together to make this an unforgettable week.
