There is no set fee or cost for our services. We will present you with a package price based on the your needs and preferences. This price will represent the final price for all of our services. For example whether we speak once over the phone or ten times the price of the package will not change for our time provided.
We do not organize scheduled group tours, where you spend your whole time with one group of people and every part of the tour is pre-scripted for you. We can personalize a trip so that it has some the aspects of a group tour. For example you would spend the days joining one-day group excursions of your choice but all the transport and accommodations would be on your own.
All trip fees, airport or land taxes and other taxes/fees are included in our prices so there will be no surprises once you have made a full payment to us.

This first hand knowledge allows us to ensure the quality of our services and pass on our expertise of the region to our clients.
We have been operating for five years assisting clients in the Eastern European region. The success of the company has allowed us to expand our offer and staff over the years.

Although our primary focus is on destinations in Eastern Europe, there have been several clients in the past who have wanted to combine Eastern Europe and Western Europe destinations in their vacation itinerary. For example, a popular request is combining Italy and Croatia. If we do not have first hand knowledge of a destination or direct contacts there we do not feel comfortable advising clients on that destination. However we can advise clients on the best way to travel to and from the Western European destination as well as the most efficient way to incorporate this into an itinerary. We can even help book this transport but once they are there the rest is up to them.
UPDATE: We have been working hard over the past summer and through the low season to add a select number of 'Western Europe' destinations into our portfolio, over several visits, and look forward to expanding our offerings westward for the 2012 season.
We often create trips specifically for small to larger groups, from a few couples traveling together to a coachful, based on their needs and interests. We can take care of all the arrangements for you, from airport transfers, to finding suitable accommodation, all in the same place or nearby, to booking day trips and tours.
