Would it be possible to book a room at the same hotel we are booked for the tour? If so, can you quote me the price for 1 night and could you book it for us?

Yes its possible the price is 90 euro for pre-accomodation.

What might I expect for costs for entrance fees to museums, historical sites?

As for what is included: In Meteora: a visit to the Meteora rocks with entrance to 2 monasteries included. In Athens: the Athens walking city tour, including Acropolis entrance.

I am interested in the group trip. For me, the age of the fellow travelers and whether there are solo travelers is very important. Could you let me know how old the fellow travelers are and whether there are also solo travelers.

We do not have an age limit for our tours as participation mainly depends on each traveler's physical condition and ability to complete the tour comfortably. Solo travelers are always welcome however, joining a group depends on the selected travel dates and the availability of other solo participants. We noticed that you selected dates in December unfortunately our guaranteed departures run from April to October.

Age range says up to 60 years old. We are healthy 72s, but would like to do this tour. Problem?

no problem at all you are more than welcome to join the tour.

I am interested in this tour but have plans for this year. Do you have the dates for this tour in 2025?

Yes very soon we will launch dates for 2025.

What hotel is recommended we check in to in Sofia?

Our accommodation in Sofia will be at the Best Western Terminus Hotel 4*.
