Comments from our customers about our butterfly & moth tours

I really enjoyed my first organised butterfly (and dragonfly) tour. Thank you all very much for being such great company. I got home feeling more relaxed than I had been for a very long time. I would definitely hope to do another one next year.

I reiterate your comments regarding what, as always, was a well- organised and enjoyable tour. But then the Balkania team continue to provide an excellent service with good hotels in prime habitat, good food and excellent and helpful local guides and safe drivers. I am never disappointed, and even when there are unforeseen hitches it can add to the holiday experience. And of course without your enthusiasm, knowledge and leadership, mixed with a good sense of humour, you are a star. So thanks go again to you for making the tour such an enjoyable one.

Thank you for such a brilliant holiday infused with so very many beautiful butterfly and moth experiences. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Your enthusiasm, energy, and knowledge knew no bounds, which carried us through the 2 weeks happily too.
