    Asked on December 28th, 2024

    I am very interested in this tour and another tour - Small Group Tour; Gems of Albania, Kosovo & N. Macedonia and would like to know if there is a single supplement for solo traveler or you could pair me with another same gender (female) solo traveler. My travel date is flexible.

    Single supplement
    Tour Details
    • Choose BalkansOperatorWritten December 2024

      For the tour of Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania, we do not have others confirm yet but you can book with a single supplement. The tour now has 10% sale. For the tour of Gems of Albania, Kosovo & N. Macedonia from Tirana we have the below confirm departure. Dates: 11 May, 9 October. Price: 1,317 Euros / Person + 315 Euros for the single room.

      Bryan

      TravelerWritten December 2024

      I had not realized the Semi-Private Tour; Serbia, Bulgaria & Romania from / to Belgrade is so expensive for solo traveler supplement, it's double the price. Looks like if I were to take this tour I will have to find a friend to join me. Gems of Albania, Kosovo & N. Macedonia from Tirana looks more affordable for me with supplement, but the confirmed departure dates you recommended are not agreeable with me.

    • Choose BalkansOperatorWritten December 2024

      The single supplement fee guarantees the tour departure even for one participant. That is why the price is more expensive. It would be great if you can find someone to join you on the tour. In regards to Gems of Albania, Kosovo & N. Macedonia from Tirana, this tour is one of our best selling so if you can check at a later stage we might have more confirm departures.
