    Visa
    • Go as LocalOperator•Written August 2026

      We can possibly change that, but as the tour requires a minimum of 4 guests to be confirmed, we would most likely not have others joining, so the tour would be cancelled.

    Alexis

    Asked on July 22nd, 2026

    I'm a solo traveler. Do you have single rooms available for the Aug 6th to August 12th dates?

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • Go as LocalOperator•Written July 2026

      Please note that this tour requires a minimum of four participants to be confirmed. At the moment, we don't have any other bookings for the departure on the 6th, so we are unable to confirm that date.

      The closest confirmed departure is on August 3. Alternatively, we also have a 12-day version of the tour departing on August 8.

      Alexis

      Traveler•Written July 2026

      Are those the only confirmed dates in August as of now? Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to do a full 12 day trip, but the 8th date is better for me. Could I do the 7 day trip but starting on August 8th? Also want to confirm that I would have a single/private room as a solo traveler.

    • Go as LocalOperator•Written July 2026

      Unfortunately there are no other travelers booked for the 7-day tour on the 8th either.

      What is the quote for adding 1 additional night before the tour (June 21) and 1 additional night after the tour (June 28)?

    • Go as LocalOperator•Written May 2026

      Hotels we use are 3 and 4-star hotels. We can give some general names, but it will be those or similar: SilverHill Guesthouse (Gjirokaster), Elite Hotel (Pogradec), Bushi Resort (Skopje), Monarch Boutique Hotel (Prizren), Cocja Boutique Hotel (Shkoder), Kotor or Perast for alst overnight is very dynamic and changes a lot.

    • Go as LocalOperator•Written May 2026

      160 euros for 2 extra nights pre and after accommodation.

    • Go as LocalOperator•Written May 2026

      We would need one more guest (3 in total) to join us in order to confirm the availability for the departure. The closest date then would be June 27th with a confirmed departure.

    Sam

    Asked on May 18th, 2026

    I am interested in the west balkans 7 day tour and am flexible with a start date around 12 august. The price is shown for a shared room. If there is no other single lady on the tour do I have the room to myself or how does that work?

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • Go as LocalOperator•Written May 2026

      The price is based on shared twin rooms with another traveler of the same gender. A private room option is also available. Please note that we don't have that tour booked yet for those dates, but there is time left, and others may join soon. We have a similar 12-day version starting on 8-9 August and finishing on the 19th. We also have a 6-day version of only North Macedonia, Kosovo, and Montenegro, starting on the 14th.

      Traveler•Written June 2026

      just checking if there is another female traveller willing to share a room for this tour starting 14/8. If not can you confirm the price for a single and if there is still space on this trip?

    • Go as LocalOperator•Written June 2026

      At the moment, we do not have another female traveler looking to share a room. The total cost of the tour with a private room would be €1,150.
