About Balkan Tours
The Balkans are a tremendously fascinating area of south-eastern Europe that one simply has to visit to understand why. It’s a melting pot of… well, everything. Geographically, politically, socially, culturally, historically, and gastronomically speaking, the Balkans are a perfect blend for travelers who want to spoil all their senses.
Balkan travel offers an amazing opportunity to discover the very best this fascinating region has in store. You get to witness the spectacular diversity, both cultural and natural, as you travel from one stunning location to the next. The carefully planned itineraries of these extensive holiday packages include many wonderful countries and reveal some of their most prized treasures.
Except for Albania, once sister states in former Yugoslavia and today friendly neighbors with their sights on a prosperous future, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Serbia, North Macedonia, and Montenegro are waiting to be explored. All share several common characteristics yet differ in many more.
When you join our Balkan Tour, you take a journey back in time, visiting medieval castles in Slovenia’s countryside, Roman ruins on the Dalmatian coast, and renowned remnants of the Ottoman Empire on the banks of a Bosnian river.
Any chosen Balkan trip is a sightseer’s dream, taking you to places like Lake Bled in the Alps, the charming capitals of Ljubljana and Zagreb contrasted with exuberant Belgrade and oriental Sarajevo, deep into world-famous karst caves and breath-taking national parks. From green valleys to the Adriatic Sea with its gorgeous islands and historical masterpieces like Kotor and Dubrovnik our tours will take you even further south to the offbeat Albania, which surprises with azure beaches and stunning nature.
But it’s not just about the places themselves on Balkan tours, it’s about the people, the food, it’s about tasting, observing, and feeling the marvelous mosaic called the Balkans.
As a local agency with a soft spot for everything about the Balkan peninsula, we decided to put our years-long traveling experience and expertise to good use and present Balkan through our eyes to tourists from around the world.
Besides seeing numerous unforgettable landmarks and learning a great deal about the local life, our tours of the Balkans also offer plenty of time to just relax, sit, stroll around, and take it all in. One adventure-packed day at a time for a perfect Balkan vacation.
