it says entry tickets are not included. what will be total sum for tickets in this tour?

if we want to add a night in Sofia, is it something you would be able to help us with?

Is there an additional cost for requesting a private room instead of a shared room?

Unfortunately, the private-room option is not available at the moment, so we are unable to add a private room to the booking currently.

Could you please provide more information on the itinerary, inclusions, and types of accommodations used on this tour? Additionally, will I have the opportunity to visit Orthodox churches during this tour?

This is a 10-day journey through several Balkan countries, including Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, North Macedonia, and Bulgaria. The tour offers a great mix of cultural landmarks, historic cities, and scenic coastal destinations. Travellers will enjoy guided walking tours, visits to historic old towns, scenic viewpoints, and opportunities to experience the region's rich cultural heritage. Some notable sites visited during the tour include Belgrade Fortress, the Old Bridge in Mostar, Dubrovnik's medieval centre, and Sofia's famous cathedral district. Accommodation throughout the tour is in comfortable 4-star hotels. The tour package also includes 9 breakfasts, airport arrival transfer in Belgrade on Day 1 (available between 5 AM and midnight), transportation by air-conditioned coach or minibus, guided sightseeing, experienced local guides, and complimentary hotel Wi-Fi where available.
