What is the age range for the tours?

We welcome travelers of all ages, but special considerations can be made for older travelers.

Are there discounts available for early booking?

Yes, there is currently a discount for early bookings, so feel free to take advantage of it.

What kind of transportation is provided during the tour?

Private transport is provided throughout the tour, including transfers and ferry rides.

I am interested in the North Macedonia; Ohrid & Struga tour, but would not take it if I had to pay the solo price of $236. I would only take it if you had other people coming which would lower the cost.

You can book this tour as a solo travler for €220 and if any guest joins you on your travel date you will only pay €143 and we will refund 77 Euros.

What do I need to prepare before the tour?

It is important to prepare your travel documents, check visa requirements, and arrange flights if needed.

What should I do if I’m traveling alone?

We offer options for solo travelers at a different pricing tier; please check with us for details.

Is the ferry to Corfu included in the tour price?

Yes, the ferry to Corfu is included in the price, and the travel time is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Are we able to add an extra day here. Some of my ladies are in their late 70's - lots of walking in one day will be too much.

We can add one more day to this tour, this way it will not be very intensive. We would suggest adding one night near Bari, allowing you to have rest in Bari and start our way to Durres with either ferry or flight the next day.

Can we add extra days to the tour?

Yes, you can add additional days to make the itinerary less intensive.

Is travel insurance recommended for this tour?

It is advisable to have travel insurance for any unexpected incidents during the tour.
