    Ray

    Asked on November 10th, 2025

    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.

    Age Range
    Group size
    • AjdinisOperatorWritten November 2025

      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.
