Is anyone familiar with Balkan Holidays or Isram World tour companies?
They specialize in travel to Eastern Europe.

Thanks, Maria Gladd

Hi Maria,
In 1994, I took Isram's basic 2 week trip to Israel. It was a superb trip. Then, about 7 years ago, I went on a 12 day tour with them to Budapest, Prague and Vienna. At that time, Tauck did not do those three cities. I would recommend Tauck for Eastern Europe. Isram did not actually do the land trip but jobbed it out to I guess this company that you mention. I was not thrilled with the accomodations. Sueh

We did an Egypt/ Israel tour through Trafalgar a couple of years ago -
the trip of our lives. We did find out that Trafalgar subcontracts its
middle eastern tours, so you do not have Trafalgar vuses, tourguides,
etc. We had Isram tours there; not the expensive tours you see when you
get the Isram catalog, with the upscale hotels, transportation, etc. Our
tour was nice, guide, was okay, we hit the high spots. Definitely a
memorable time
