In May I took my most worthwhile package tour ever, a trip to Bosnia and Serbia organised by Political Tours. It was a sobering, thought provoking and memorable eight days.
My fellow travelers constituted one of the most rewarding aspects of the trip; from a range of backgrounds, all were knowledgeable, interested and, pretty important, pleasant – not something you can say of all package trips!
