Gems of Southeast Europe Reviews

We're gradually coming down to earth after the most wonderful trip of a lifetime. It was a busy time taking in the sights and the activities offered but somehow you manage! Our Cruise Manager did an excellent job and was always on hand to provide any information/assistance required. The guides on the coaches (and their drivers) were very courteous and ...read more provided interesting historical backgrounds of their respective regions/countries. For us the experience sailing on a 5-star cruise ship with its friendly and efficient crew was the highlight; and being entertained by the local folk groups was a real bonus and added to the warm and friendly atmosphere on board Only a few hiccups for us - on arrival at our hotel in Istanbul, we didn't receive information on how to contact our Cruise Manager, and we were unaware of the 'Welcome Cocktail Party'. We were not able to pre-book the optional tours on line. (But did manage to go on most tours of our choice). We would highly recommend this cruise and appreciate Yvonne's commitment through Global Journeys in organising everything for us.
