    Asked on September 18th, 2025

    Do you accept senior travelers aging up to 82 but healthy?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • Travel TalkOperator•Written September 2025

      As we generally do not have passengers within that age range, we would kindly require that travelers of 82 years join the tour with a partner or companion. This ensures both comfort and support throughout the trip.

    • J

      Jeffrey

      Traveler•Written September 2025

      Actually we have a few people together, not only one. I didn't choose the number because I don't know how many yet. It could be 2, 4 or 6. Because there is no age limit for your 14-day Balkan trip, we might join that plan. It will be next year. So if we have more than 2 people, is there a limit for the age?

    • Travel TalkOperator•Written September 2025

      If you are traveling with companions—whether in pairs or as a group of 2, 4, or 6—there is no age limit for joining the 14-day Balkan trip. You are welcome to join as long as you're comfortable with the itinerary, which includes walking and some longer drives between destinations. We'd be happy to have you on board next year!

    Asked on August 12th, 2025

    Are seniors up to 81 years old able to join this Balkans trip? We are healthy but the trip age policy seems to be 18-59.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • Travel TalkOperator•Written August 2025

      While our standard age policy is 18-59, we are happy to welcome senior travellers who are healthy and able to fully participate in the itinerary. We look forward to having you all with us and making sure you enjoy a comfortable and memorable journey through the Balkans.

    • Travel TalkOperator•Written August 2025

      The deposit amount is $150 per person. The deposit payment will be lost for cancellations until 60 days prior to the tour departure date. Within 60 days of the departure, cancellation fees increase incrementally starting from 70% of the tour fee.

      Emma

      Traveler•Written August 2025

      Can you clarify the cancellation policy? If I cancel 61 days before departure, will the deposit be returned? Also, is it possible to change the departure date instead of canceling?

    My wife is 52 years old and I am 68 years old, but I am very healthy. I run 10 kilometres every day and do anaerobic exercise. We go abroad twice a year. We have been to 52 countries and used to kayak in Antarctica. We would like to join this group. Please consider it.

      The age range advertised is rather a guideline and denotes the average age range of the tour group; we're quite flexible and welcome guests of all ages. What matters most is that you're comfortable with the itinerary and the pace of the trip!

      While our advertised age range is up to 59, we do occasionally make exceptions depending on the tour and group dynamics. We can check if we can accommodate your booking by matching you with another passenger of a similar age in a shared room.

      Can you please clarify if we are actually going inside Corvin Castle and Brukenthal Palace?

    • Travel TalkOperator•Written March 2025

      Unfortunately, access to the interior of Peles Castle is not possible due to restrictions in place. However, we will still have the opportunity to admire its stunning neo-Renaissance architecture and scenic surroundings in the Carpathian Mountains. Yes, you will be going inside Corvin Castle as part of the visit. Regarding Brukenthal Palace, it is part of the Sibiu sightseeing tour, but there is no mention of going inside.

      Will we be actually going into Bran Castle? Or are we just looking at it from outside?

    • Travel TalkOperator•Written March 2025

      Yes, you will be going inside Bran Castle (Dracula's Castle). The itinerary mentions 'Entrance Fees: Dracula Castle Bran – EUR 8.5,' which confirms that entry is included as part of the tour.

    Asked on March 10th, 2025

    Could you tell me the arrival and departure dates and best times (for the 24 May to 8 June option), so that I can confirm the dates with my employer? Also, are there any further coupons/special deals that you could add? Also, considering this would be summer time, would the hotels be air-conditioned?

      Your dates are Sat 24 May 2025 - Sun 8 Jun 2025. Unfortunately we do not have extra discounts or coupons to add to the offer already applied to your booking. All hotels may not be air-conditioned yet in May. Most hotels switch to air-conditioning in mid-June/July to August.

      Could you also let me know what arrival/departure times should I choose for my flights? I see that the airport transfer is not mentioned for the last day. Is that a missed detail?

    • Travel TalkOperator•Written March 2025

      On arrival at the hotel around 7pm, have an informal welcome meeting with your guide and fellow travellers. Check in is at 2pm therefore you can arrive any time between. At the end the tour ends around 6pm, therefore you can arrange a flight after 9PM.

      Please also confirm regarding the Sofia airport drop. Does the trip end directly at the airport?

    • Travel TalkOperator•Written March 2025

      The airport transfer is not included at the end of the tour. The tour concludes in Sofia, in front of the hotel Novotel. Therefore you will need to arrange it independently.
