Our self-guided Balkan tours allow you to tune into your adventurous soul while exploring the corners of the peninsula’s diverse landscape. You will be free to travel at your own pace while enjoying the advantages of a pre-planned holiday.
With you providing the necessary information and our local knowledge and experience, we can customize the tours and adapt them to your preferences. As such, you will not have to worry about missing out on anything you might want to do, the locations you want to visit, or not spending enough time at each of them.
Set any worries aside — we will book all your accommodations, take care of any entrance fees, coordinate all the activities included in your itinerary, and provide you with a detailed booklet, including all the landmarks and other highlights along the way. Is there a more comfortable way to travel?
In case a vehicle is required, we can equip you with a rental car or campervan. And just like that, you can be driving across the scenic alpine valleys, along winding coastal roads, and through historic cities booming with culture.
Entrust your wishes to us through our inquiry form, and we can start working on your dream self-guided tour of the Balkans immediately.

From start to finish, The Balkan Tours exceeded all my expectations. The team’s (Urška, Ivana, Ava and Yuki) attention to detail, and some surprise stops along the way, made this trip extra special. I felt so cared for throughout the trip and the friendships I made with fellow travelers are a bonus I’ll cherish forever. Can’t wait to book my next adventure with them!

The Balkan Tours introduced me to some of the most breathtaking landscapes I’ve ever seen. Lake Bled was like a postcard come to life, and the views of the peaks in Montenegro were jaw-dropping. Every destination on the tour was picture-perfect. Plus, the small group setting meant we could pause and really soak in these incredible sights. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure.

This was my first time traveling to the Balkans, and The Balkan Tours made it so easy! They handled all the logistics flawlessly, from transportation to accommodations. Even when I had problems with finding my airport transfer, their travel agent Yuki helped me out straight away. I never had to worry about a thing. Our guide Mladen was always a step ahead, ensuring every part of our tour went smoothly. I came home with incredible memories and zero stress. I’ll definitely book with them again.

What I loved most about my tour with The Balkan Tours was how well they balanced thrilling activities with moments to relax and take in the stunning scenery. We went rafting in Montenegro’s Tara Canyon one day, and the next, we were soaking up the sun in Croatia. It felt like Ava created a perfectly curated trip tailored to my sense of adventure and need for tranquility.

The Balkan Tours offered a deeper connection to the region than I ever expected. We visited a family-owned vineyard, where we sampled homemade rakija and heard stories about the generations who had worked the land. In Dubrovnik, our local guide Ivana shared insider tips about the city’s history and hidden spots. These personal touches made the trip unforgettable—it felt like being welcomed into the heart of the Balkans.

My trip with The Balkan Tours was absolutely fantastic! The itinerary that Urška prepared was well-balanced, giving us time to explore iconic landmarks like Dubrovnik and hidden gems along the way. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the history and culture of the region, which made every stop even more enriching. The small group size was perfect, allowing us to connect with other travelers while still feeling like we had personalized attention. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to experience the heart of the Balkans!

Our trip planner certainly listened to what we wanted, made a few good suggestions and we had a fantastic trip. There were 4 of us ( 68-74 y.o.). We drove ourselves around 5 Balkan countries. Not an easy trip to plan but it all worked out! Thank you!

Excellent all round. Had a 16-day tour by the Balkan Tours, with a driver and guide (same person - Dejan), who took care of everything. It was a lot of driving, and him being an ex-history teacher really brought the historic places to life. I cannot think of a more educational and enjoyable holiday.

Everything about my experience with The Balkan Tours was exceptional! The comprehensive, well-paced 16-day itinerary they helped craft was superb, the choices of lodging were perfect, and the guide that assigned was added greatly to my experience. I took a chance in bypassing an American intermediary to deal directly with them—and I could not be more pleased and satisfied with the service and support I received from the staff at The Balkan Tours. I heartily and unqualifiedly recommend the agency!

Incredible Experience. We chose the Balkan Extended tour. Our guide Teodor was absolutely awesome He was so knowledgeable in the history of each region and country, gave great suggestions on food and restaurants to try, and was so very informative on the people and culture for every site we visited. He was so interesting with a good sense of humor. He made the trip so enjoyable. We loved the small group tour as well. The cities and sites visited were great. We visited more sites and cities than I thought we were going to. There may be times you wish you could stay more time in an city or site but really this is the ideal tour to give you more than ever imagined you could experience or learn about the Balkans. This tour got us excited about coming back to the Balkans some time and now we know where we want to go explore more. Highly recommended.

We had a 11 day tour through Croatia, Montengro and Albania through the Balkan Tours. Everything from the coordination of the tour leading up to it to our most fabulous tour guide Dejan was absolutley perfect. Dejan was so flexible in accommodating our needs and after a few days of getting to know us made alternative suggestions of our tour to suit our needs. The accommodation bookings that Marusa made were absolutely brilliant and if there was any issues at all we would have not known about it as Dejan sorted without being non the wiser. We cannot thank and recommend The Balkan Tours enough.
