    Arthur

    Asked on May 27th, 2023

    We are interested in 10 DAYS WESTERN BALKANS DISCOVERY- CROATIA - BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA - MONTENEGRO - ALBANIA - N. MACEDONIA trip leaving 30 September 2023. Before we book this, we need to know if is it a guaranteed departure in small group, or do you need a minimum number of travellers for the tour to proceed. I see that the group size is 10 people and there are 10 places still available. We do not want to book this if it is not guaranteed to take place because not enough people book it. Also we need the name of the hotel accommodation in Zagreb and in Skopje as we would possibly need to stay an extra night at each hotel before and after tour.

    Tour Details
    • Tour MageOperator•Written May 2023

      Minimum number of travelers to guarantee the start of this tour is 2. So we can guarantee the tour to start. Hotel Park 45 in Zagreb, Hotel Sultan in Skopje. If no available room upon booking in selected hotels, we will find similar and notify you.

      Traveler•Written May 2023

      I have also just looked at hotels. There seems to be availability at Hotel Park 45 on 29 September but no availability at Hotel Sultan in Skopje for 9 and 10 October. After I book tour, we'll talk about other options on Skopje.

      Arthur

      Traveler•Written May 2023

      At the end of the tour, we need to stay in Skopje an extra 2 nights on 9 OCT and 10OCT. It would be great if we can stay in just one hotel for 3 nights in a row. Are you able to get us accommodation in a similar hotel that has availability for 8 OCT, 9OCT and 10OCT?
