“There really wasn't a lot to see in the tour. Our tour guide couldn't find our hotel and called and asked me for directions really, like a tourist would be able to give local directions....after picking us up, she stopped to gas up the car. not impressed with that However, the place she took us for local food in Serbia was amazing. I wouldn't recommend the tour unless a few things were added.”

Leave Sofia at 9:00 for a small-group trip into Serbia and North Macedonia. Visit Bosilegrad, then the peaceful 12th-century St Joakim Osogovski Monastery. Guide Stefan is praised for local stories and calm border help. Lunch, air-conditioned transport, and parking are included, but expect long hours in the vehicle.
