Perfect! That is how I can best describe dealing with Elvis and Tour Mage. I was looking for a tour operator that could deliver a highly customized 10-day tour of the Balkans (Slovenia, Croatia as well as Bosnia and Herzegovina). After extensive research I settled on Tour Mage. Following initial discussion, Elvis provided a comprehensive proposal and once we agreed he delivered on every aspect of the proposal and MORE! It is understandable to be a little nervous when you pay a large sum of money upfront to someone you are unfamiliar with for a multi-day tour including costs for hotels, transportation, guides, and other expenses. There is no concern with Tour Mage, this is an exceptional company to deal with. We are seasoned travelers, and I can say this is the best we have ever been looked after. The individualized tours, the selection and overall quality of hotels as well as the itinerary were all excellent. For us, it was our guide Zulfo that made this journey truly special. He was with us every step of the way and managed every detail. He was far more than an excellent driver and an extremely conscientious personal assistant, he is an exceptional person and became like family. It was not easy saying good-bye. We will never forget this exceptional experience.

It' been a nice trip. It was well organised from start to end. The transport was comfortable and the hotels were good, matching the 4 stars expectations. The guide for the whole trip, who was also the driver, was nice and friendly, willing to accomodate our requests. We also had local guides for the visits to the historical towns such as Dubrovnik, Split and Kotor. We've had the best guided tours in Croatia. Spending a some more time in Croatia would not have been bad. Natural scenes and views were gorgeous. Overall very good.

Excellent & memorable tour! Elvis was extremely helpful in planning our 2 week customized tour to Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. Elvis responded promptly to all my questions at any time of day which I think is quite impressive. We had Adnan as our driver and tour coordinator. Adnan is very safe and patient. We visited several UNESCO World Heritage Sites and had local tour guides. It was very educational as we are interested in history, culture and arts. Every place we visited was special and left an indelible mark in our memory. Thank you Tour Mage!

Ljubljana to Thessaloniki Balkan Tour May 2019 • Couples Elvis of Tour Mage designed this 23-day private tour from Ljubljana, Slovenia, to Thessaloniki in Greece for my wife and me after we had informed him of our preferred travel style and specific interests ; the custom-package he came up with was amazing. He assigned his very best driver, Amer, to accompany us in his Mercedes E-Class. Amer looked after us as if we were his family. During the 5,000km trip he bent over backwards to make sure we were comfortable and had the best possible experience ; we stopped wherever we liked and made detours if there was anything of interest, even if this was not part of "the program". This type of private tour obviously comes at a higher cost than group travel ; but the benefits of flexibility, personal attention and maximum comfort more than make up for the extra marginal expense and I consider this package great value for money. I have no hesitation to recommend Elvis' Tour Mage services to anybody looking to travel to The Balkans - we will certainly use them again ! Thank you Elvis and warm greetings to Amer !
