  Traveler•Written April 2025
  I am slightly flexible on dates, I can start the tour anywhere between the 27th August - 31st August. If there are any other participants interested in starting on those dates I am happy to join then.
- Go as LocalOperator•Written April 2025
  Would you be open to joining a 6-day or 8-day version of the Peaks of the Balkans tour? These versions are more popular, although we will still suggest the original itinerary first.
