    Jan

    Asked on May 27th, 2026

    Can we join you on day 2 and leave day 8 in Corfu? We are a family of 7 - 3 are 18 year olds and 4 fit adventurous parents in 50's.

    Age Range
    Group size
    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written May 2026

      Due to the age restrictions for this specific tour, we would not be able to accommodate your group outside of a private tour. Our booking window for Tailormade trips generally requires quite a large amount of lead time prior to the departure to ensure that we can get availability and sort out the logistics for a full private trip in time. We do have some other itineraries for the Balkans area that are open to all ages if you are interested in seeing some of those options. However, we do not offer anything with a similar itinerary ending in Corfu.

  • N

    Naomi

    Asked on May 17th, 2026

    Can a pre-designed trip be customized? We are looking to finish the trip in Corfu by the 18th July.

    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written May 2026

      The itinerary you referred to is a pre-designed trip, so unfortunately we are unable to fully customize the route itself. However, we may still be able to assist depending on your exact travel dates and requirements. Please note the general criteria for tailor-made inquiries: Minimum 4 travellers (Europe generally requires minimum 6 travellers), Minimum 12 weeks lead time, Minimum trip duration of 5 days / 4 nights, Trip must include a tour leader (fully escorted or locally led), Minimum traveller age is generally 5 years old.

    • N

      Naomi

      Traveler•Written May 2026

      We are two families of total 7 people, four rooms needed. We have accommodation booked at Corfu from 18th July and in Split until the 10th July and can arrive in Dubrovnik on the 10th July in the pm. Would like to be able to see the major sites between both places. Could be a custom tour from the 12th pick up from Dubrovnik.

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written May 2026

      We may be able to arrange a private tour following the same itinerary as our Essential Southern Balkans trip, operating from Days 2-7 only - with pick-up in Dubrovnik on Day 2 and drop-off in Corfu on Day 8. You also mentioned you'd be interested in upgrading to Comfort accommodation. Do you have a per person budget in mind for the trip?

    • N

      Naomi

      Traveler•Written May 2026

      We are ok with the current price at around $2200 per person - are you able to advise what the likely accommodation would be like for this amount versus if we extended the budget to $3000 per person.

    • N

      Naomi

      Traveler•Written May 2026

      We would need 4 rooms, three with 2 people and one with one. We could be open to three rooms, if a one room could accommodate 3 people and the other 2, 2 people each.

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written May 2026

      The default rooming configuration in our trips is on twin share basis so yes we would be rooming 2x3 (twin share) and one traveler will have to share accomodation with another traveler of the same gender as we do not have single supplements available for this departure.

    • N

      Naomi

      Traveler•Written May 2026

      Does the tour include the ferry to Corfu?

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written May 2026

      Unfortunately, we would not be able to assist with arranging a private tailor-made tour at this stage. As we are now quite close to departure, there isn't enough time for us to properly coordinate and quote all of the required elements to the standard we would want to provide.

    • N

      Naomi

      Traveler•Written May 2026

      Can we join the standard essential balkans tour starting on the 11th and finishing on 18th on day 2 and finish day 8? Issue is 4 of us over 35!

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written June 2026

      Our Essential Southern Balkans tour is designed specifically for travellers aged between 18 to 35. As such, we are unable to accept bookings from travellers outside this age range on this particular trip.

    Connie

    Asked on April 23rd, 2026

    Your tour Dubrovnik to Corfu fits my desired itinerary perfectly (Slovenia, Croatia, Albania, Corfu), however I do not fit into your age category. I need to finish my tour in Corfu. Do you have any suggestions?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written April 2026

      We do have a lot of great Balkan tour options that are open age, as the 18-35s category only makes up a small number of our tours. However, for this specific itinerary I'm afraid we don't have a direct open age alternative if you require your tour ends in Corfu.

  • M

    Marlene

    Asked on April 8th, 2025

    Would you be kind enough to tell me if I should take the Essential Southern Balkan tour: 1.) Can I stay over a few days in Corfu at the end of the tour and return to Tirana? If possible, how can I return to Tirana from the hydrofoil port in Albania/what is the distance? 2.) In what location does the tour meet in Dubrovnik?

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written April 2025

      You can stay a few extra days in Corfu after the trip ends. The tour begins in Dubrovnik, Croatia, and our joining point is Akademis Academia, Ulica Marka Marojice 2b, Dubrovnik, CROATIA. The trip kicks off with a Welcome Meeting at 6:00 PM on Day 1.

      Marlene

      Traveler•Written April 2025

      I would love to take this tour, but I am 83 years old. Can you supply me with an alternate tour of the same countries: Albania and Montenegro - one that straddles the coastline?

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written April 2025

      We do have a small group Montenegro Sailing trip; its 8 days and the maximum group size onboard our sailboat is 8 people. It is a great itinerary if you are looking to explore the coast but since we use a small sailboat there are no single supplements. We also have a Western Balkans Tour. It is a 12 day trip and we start in Skopje in North Macedonia and end in Dubrovnik. The maximum group size is 12 people. A single supplement is available if you preferred not to share a room on this, it is subject to availability, and applies to all nights.
