Take on a three-week long odyssey through the Balkans, an unparalleled exploration of Southeast Europe’s vivid landscapes, storied history, and diverse culture!

The Balkans’ unique allure lies in the sheer depth and variety of experiences packed into its borders.

In three weeks, you can wander through centuries-old streets in Romania’s fortified towns, where legends like Dracula’s trace remain vivid, or relish the beauty of 16 interconnected lakes at Croatia’s Plitvice National Park.

Each day promises moments that connect you to a different facet of history – be it the haunting Skull Tower in Niš or the grandeur of Dubrovnik’s city walls. You can discover Romania’s legendary castles, the poetic beauty of Bulgaria’s rose valleys, and the delicious burek and ćevapi, traditional dishes in Bosnia’s Sarajevo.

Spanning three weeks allows for an unhurried, immersive experience. With every aspect thoughtfully planned, from accommodations to seamless cross-border travel, you can fully embrace each moment.

Witness the Balkans’ unique mosaic of culture and heritage, creating lasting memories across this spellbinding corner of Europe!

Frequently Asked Questions

No, but we can arrange them for a surcharge from the following airports:

  • Ljubljana
  • Venice
  • Zagreb
  • Belgrade
  • Sofia
  • Dubrovnik
  • Podgorica

No, our tours do not include plane tickets, and we also do not advise on them. However, we can help you choose the airport closest to the starting location of your tour or arrange a shuttle from/to the airport for an additional fee

Of course, just let us know upon booking so we can make timely arrangements.

Solo travelers who want to meet and travel with like-minded people often join us on our tours, except the private ones. Our mission is to provide you with a relaxed and sociable tour experience that allows the group to grow closer throughout the journey. Solo travelers will be roomed with another solo traveler of the same gender or can upgrade to a solo room for an additional fee.

If you provide your dietary requirements when booking your tour, we will make the necessary arrangements to the best of our ability. But please understand that vegan & gluten-free options are not as widely available in this area, especially in the more rural Balkans.

All the countries on our Balkan Tours, except Slovenia, use their local currency. We recommend you exchange small amounts of money as you go in the cities since the exchange rates are much more favorable than at the airports. Your tour leader will be happy to assist you.

The currencies in the countries on our way are: 

  • Serbian Dinar, 
  • Bosnia-Herzegovina Convertible Mark, 
  • Macedonian Denar, 
  • Albanian Lek, 
  • Euro in Slovenia and Croatia.

On scheduled tours, you are limited to taking 1 suitcase and 1 smaller bag for personal items per person.

There are no luggage restrictions on private tours, as long as you’re able to carry it for a short distance.

If you inform us before the departure date, you can join our tour later on, but it is your responsibility to catch up with us.
