Evliya Travel’s 4-day Bosnia itinerary was absolutely perfect! Everything was seamlessly organized—smooth transport, cozy accommodations, and expertly planned tours. The guides were passionate and brought Bosnia’s rich history to life at every stop. The group vibe was amazing, and the trip balanced culture, history, and connection perfectly. If you want a hassle-free, enriching Bosnia adventure, Evliya Travel is unbeatable!

It was a wonderfully organised trip with excellent guides. Highly recommended!

I recently went on a tour with Evliya to learn and remember the Islamic history of Andalusia. It was amazing to see the beautiful places that were built by the Moors hundreds of years ago. Our guide, AbuBakr was very knowledgeable and helped us understand the history of the region. We visited the stunning Alhambra Palace in Granada, saw the Great Mosque of Cordoba and a few locations off the beaten track away from the main attractions such as the old berber villages of Alpujarra. We learned and reflected about the important things that Muslims of that era achieved in Andalusia. The accomodations were good and it was good to travel with friendly people.

An excellent tour, all the places we visited had really interesting historical significance. A couple of highlights include the step by step walkthrough on how to lay seige to a citadel (actually quite a bit harder than I expected!) and the guided tour of Alhambra. I really appreciated the emphasis on the Islamic history of the region, and the attention to detail to provide halal food options at each location. The hotels we stayed at were in prime locations, and transport to the various sites was very comfortable.

We had a really wonderful trip, filled with memories and great experiences. Evliya Travels organised the trip really well and took care of the bookings, timings and visits. The tour guides were friendly, warm and engaged well with us. I would recommend this group and would be willing to book again to go on another trip !
