Balkans Tours & Trips
Walk Dubrovnik’s ancient walls, arguably Croatia’s most stunning city. How about a trip to Montenegro, where Kotor’s dramatic bay and gorgeous beaches await? In Albania, tour eerie bunkers and the Ottoman houses of Berat. Lake Ohrid in North Macedonia is where you’ll find stunning monasteries and churches. Bosnia and Herzegovina, with its emerald Neretva River and Mostar’s bridge, is a must as well.

Our trip was excellent to the Balkins. Lale our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the history the countries we visited. The accommodations were excellent and the restaurants chosen were first rate. Our guide was not only knowledgeable, he was so positive and keen to show us all the sights. The communication with TourRadar was also very good. They aimed to make sure our trip was seamless. Thankyou again to our guide Lale for making our trip unforgettable! Jon & Fran (Canada)
Small Group: Balkan Essentials in 12 daysThis was an incredible tour through the Eastern Balkans!! Uros Prokic was probably the most knowledgeable Guide guides of used all over the world.. this was a private tour and it was exceptional.. I’ve always loved history and have tried to understand the Balkans Uros gave me a lot better understanding of the conflicts in this area and why it’s been a war for thousands of years.. Uros was very thoughtful and kind the entire trip and just a complete gentleman.. I enjoyed the pace of travel how much we got to see and how accommodating your Guide was to help us with any personal thing that we needed, including buying soccer jerseys through every country!! thank you Uros❤️❤️❤️. All of the accommodations were good.. As there was a lot of conflict going on in Kosovo and Serbia and Albania, we got back safely.. The Local guy that took us from Northern Macedonia to Kosovo,Millan was also very knowledgeable and once again, if it were not without his knowledge, we could not have gone in there and out safely because there were massive protests going on because of the sentencing date was on September 16.. We had a great celebration in Tirana on our last night. It was very special because it was Uros’s birthday.🎂 and we thoroughly enjoyed the meal.. I appreciate Tour Radar using Victor Tours which is an excellent company. Five star tour.!!!! Kevin Walls

Best time to visit Balkans
- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall tours through the Balkans offer rich cultural experiences with comfortable temperatures and fewer crowds. The routes combining North Macedonia's wine regions with Kosovo's historic sites are particularly popular, letting you taste local vintages in Rahovec Valley and explore Ottoman architecture in Prizren. Our travelers often mention how much they enjoy autumn visits to monasteries like Decan, where Orthodox monks still make traditional cheeses and also organic foods. What makes these fall journeys special is the mix of historical exploration with seasonal activities - you might find yourself hiking through Valbona Valley's colorful forests one day and exploring Berat's UNESCO-listed old town the next. Several tours include unique experiences like joining the September wine festival in Rahovec or visiting local farms during harvest time.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Our winter tours through the Balkans offer unique opportunities to experience the region's rich culture away from peak crowds. Particularly popular are tours starting in Tirana that take you through five countries in just over a week. Local guides show you hidden spots like the handmade Venetian mask workshops in Shkodra, where there's a special carnival festival in February. Tours combine visits to UNESCO sites like Kotor's old town with authentic experiences - our travelers often tell us how much they enjoyed warming up with traditional dishes like corbast pasulj stew in Montenegro and also homemade raki tastings in local homes. What makes these winter journeys special is the mix of cultural immersion and historical sites, from exploring Sarajevo's Ottoman quarters to wandering through Prizren's medieval streets when they're dusted with snow.

- Spring 2027
Spring brings perfect conditions for exploring the Balkans, with mild weather ideal for combining coastal walks with mountain adventures. The routes starting in Dubrovnik and heading southeast are particularly good this time of year - you'll find Lake Ohrid's churches less crowded and Tirana's outdoor cafes coming to life. Our travelers consistently praise how these springtime tours mix activity with culture, perhaps hiking in Durmitor National Park one day and exploring Mostar's Ottoman bazaar the next. Several itineraries include special experiences like joining locals for coffee in Kosovo family homes and also visiting organic farms in the Albanian countryside. What makes spring tours stand out is the balance of outdoor exploration with cultural insights - you might find yourself hiking to waterfalls near Mount Olympus or exploring Skopje's old bazaar when spring festivals are in full swing.

- Summer 2027
Summer brings vibrant energy to our Balkan tours, with longer days perfect for combining historical sites with outdoor activities. Many travelers choose routes that include swimming opportunities, from Lake Ohrid's clear waters to Montenegro's Adriatic coast and also Greece's beaches near Mount Olympus. Our guided walks through places like Dubrovnik become evening explorations, with city walls lit up and outdoor restaurants full of life. What makes these summer journeys special is how they blend active mornings - perhaps exploring Matka Canyon by boat or hiking in Pelister National Park - with cultural experiences in the cooler evenings. Our travelers particularly enjoy summer festivals in places like Prizren, where the whole medieval city transforms into an international film venue.
