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 !
