  • Reviewer: K. Knack located in Malibu, CA USA
    Every day I am grateful for this fabulous trip. The destinations you specialize in are of much more interest now that I know what a well-delivered service you provide.

    MIR's tour manager made my trip more deeply meaningful and made sure that everyone on the train came away with a greater appreciation for this vast country. Thank you so much for your great itinerary, for the tremendous abilities of your staff... You can be certain I will recommend your company.



  • Reviewer: The Tobys located in Rockville Center, NY USA
    …It is safe to say without the expertise of your superb cadre of guides in the country we never could have put it all together. In fact, we were totally dependent on them to benefit from the extraordinary experienced of visiting three regions of [Ukraine] within a two-week time period.

    Clearly, MIR Corporation has a well-deserved reputation for superb customer service. We support that well-deserved reputation, which is possibly rooted in the fact that your associates like their jobs and that job satisfaction has been transferred to customer and client relations….

    Honestly, we were duly impressed with each of the regional guides and the drivers who accompanied us. Their local knowledge of the unique features of their respective region was so evident, impressive, and unmatched by any we have encounters over our 40 years of visiting 140 countries.

    I want to thank you for a most stupendous trip; 5 stars plus. Loved Ukraine, the people, the sites, the precision of our tour; the fine quality of the guides and drivers - how much they care, how much they know and how much they kept our interests foremost in their hearts and their minds. It was just stupendous.

    It was so fabulous we cannot stop talking about it. Again, thank you very much. And I will certainly recommend MIR Corporation when it is appropriate for our friends & colleagues.

    It was excellent beyond all expectations.

    We don’t know where to start – a perfect itinerary which satisfied all of our needs, excellent accommodations superbly located, flawless execution of all aspects including visas, vouchers, theatre tickets, etc., and last but certainly not least, truly outstanding and professional guides and drivers.

    …We only wish that MIR provided tours everywhere, in which case we would never use another tour company again..

    MIR Office in Seattle was outstanding…We have already told several friends about MIR and how wonderful they are! You all put together a trip for us that was perfect to our budget, time frame and interests. Russia is a fabulous destination – wonderful history, magnificent sites we can’t say enough about MIR and Russia.

Itinerary

Days 1-12: Around the Balkans; start/end Dubrovnik

This circular driving itinerary begins in Croatia, heads down to Montenegro and Albania, over to Macedonia, up to Kosovo and Serbia, over to Bosnia and Herzegovina, and circles around to where it began, in Dubrovnik on the sun-washed Dalmatian Coast.

The panorama varies from white limestone cliffs bordering the blue Adriatic to the wild and rugged mountains of the Dinaric Alps that were instrumental in dividing the ethnic groups that flourished, each in its own valley. Get a feel for the historical forces that jostled the Balkan countries, sometimes sending them on colliding paths. A meeting point of ancient Greece and Rome, Christianity and Islam, the Balkans are a crucible of cultures. Along the winding route, admire four different UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the walled and red-roofed Old City of Dubrovnik, the medieval Adriatic port of Kotor, Macedonia’s Ohrid region, and the historic Ottoman Bridge area in Mostar.
