Is this trip at all likely to run?

Unfortunately, we don't have a group starting on 24 October, but if you wish you can join the group from 10 October.

Could you please advise on the pick-up time and location for August 8?

I need to be at Dubrovnik Airport by 3:30 AM to catch my 6:00 AM flight to Dublin. I'm not sure if any airport shuttle is available that early—could you let me know?

The Sofia to Dubrovnik: Express Cultural Expedition – Small Group Tour was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Everything was well organised, and the pace was just right for a 5-day trip. With only 9 people in the group, it felt personal and relaxed — a perfect size for this kind of journey. The hotels were clean, comfortable, and well located. A big thanks to our friendly and welcoming driver. And our guide, Igor, was absolutely outstanding — attentive, helpful, and truly committed to making sure everyone had a great time. The only suggestion I’d make is to include a guided tour in Dubrovnik. We explored it on our own, which was still enjoyable, but having it as part of the itinerary would’ve made the experience feel more complete. Overall, a wonderful tour I’d recommend to anyone looking to explore the Balkans in a short amount of time.Show more
