Every traveler has their own specific interests and preferences. Some can never get enough of museums, some like to spend most of their days people-watching in cafes, and others find that the monuments most worth visiting are found in nature. And then there are those who like to spice up their life with a good dose of excitement.

We think endorphins and adrenaline are the two most important ingredients for a good time. If you agree, you’ve just found the perfect Balkan trip for you.

Our Balkan adventure will take you to five national parks, incredible cultural landmarks, and some of the most memorable adrenaline-inducing experiences of your life! By spreading out the city tours, excursions in nature, and more physical, adventurous activities, we have designed a tour that includes all the must-see sights of the Balkans, as well as thrilling activities fit for any adrenaline junkie. One thing is certain – you won’t get bored.

Our tour will be spiced up by a number of water activities like canyoning in the gorges of the Julian Alps, rafting on the emerald Soča River in Slovenia, and Tara River in Montenegro, kayaking on the Black Lake in Durmitor National Park, and the Matka Canyon along with its amazing caves. We’ll even incorporate some water sports in our Bled tour, and paddleboard to the island in the middle of Lake Bled.

We’ve designed this tour with the goal of infusing it with excitement at every step. You’ll hike in the Julian Alps, Durmitor National Park, and the region of the spectacular Lake Ohrid. You’ll zipline across canyons in Montenegro, and snorkel in the Adriatic Sea. You’ll explore the amazing Durmitor National Park on a jeep safari, and amp up the thrill in Thethi National Park where a four-wheel drive awaits us.

Even the travel from one place to another will be unforgettable as you’ll drive on some of the most epic drives in Europe, like the Morača Canyon, which is the second-deepest canyon in the world!

But don’t think that you’ll see less of the Balkans because of all the different activities listed above. The three-week period of our Balkan travels gives us enough time to experience the best Balkan adventures this region has to offer while also not missing out on the more standard, must-see tourist attractions.

You’ll visit five incredible capital cities, each with its own specific history, and character, and see how the Balkan crossroads of cultures are reflected in them. You’ll also get your fair share of relaxation on the coasts of Croatia and Montenegro, as you visit their fascinating historic harbor cities like Split, Dubrovnik, and Kotor, and sail around some of the most beautiful Croatian islands.

Now if that sounds like the time of your life, it’s because it will be. Book your tour, and let your Balkan adventure begin!

We were five girls travelling to Romania to experience Andrea Bocelli perform at the Unforgettable Music Festival in Bucharest on the 12th of September 2025. We wanted to make a tour of the Balkans following the concert and The Balkan Tours put together a very special itinerary for us. They arranged for excellent quality transfers from Romania to Bulgaria (Velico Tanovo and Sofia) to Belgrade in Serbia and onto Montenegro (Podgorica and Bay of Kato) and finally to Dubrovnik and Split in Croatia. They arranged excellent quality hotels with breakfast and great locations, and personalized tours to enjoy each city and destination in a meaningful manner. They gave quality suggestions about places to eat, and visit, and loads of other historical information about the places we were visiting. They created a tour app for us to make it easy to know all the details with important phone numbers. The Balkan Tours took good care of us, we felt safe and connected to our agent at all times, and we enjoyed our two weeks in the region. We would recommend their company to travelers looking for a personalized service and customized tours of the Beautiful Balkans. There is so much more to see, and we had too little time, we will most certainly come back and use the company again to assist us in our travel plans. A big shout out to Ava and Urska of the Balkan Tour Company!!! Cheers.

Really amazing experience. The 9-Day Essentials Tour took us to beautiful cities and countryside across the Balkans, and our guide Stefan was so kind and deeply knowledgeable about each place we went. The hotel accommodations were perfectly fine and in prime locations in the cities, each with a nice breakfast included. Communication from the company was fast and professional. I highly recommend this company, and we will work with them again when we are able to come back to the Balkans!
