    Asked on May 10th, 2026

    We are a family of 4 looking for an English operated Balkan tour from approximately 8/9-8/27 that can take us from Athens through all the Balkan countries+Croatia, Slovenia, (Romania and Bulgaria optional) back to Athens. I don't see such a tour available and was wondering if it's possible to customize? One of our group members requires Schengen visa the rest are US citizens which should be visa free? Is visa cost included in the package?

    • EuropamundoOperatorWritten May 2026

      At the moment, our tours are operated with predefined itineraries and unfortunately we are not able to customize private routes. However, we can offer you some excellent Balkan options that closely match the itinerary your travelers are looking for: Balkan Extravaganza covers several Balkan destinations and ends in Venice. From Athens to Zagreb starts in Athens and ends in Zagreb. Please note that neither itinerary returns back to Athens, but they do include extensive Balkan coverage. Regarding visas, these are unfortunately not included in the package and must be arranged independently by the travelers. Visa requirements will depend on each traveler's nationality and passport. US citizens are generally visa-free for most countries in the region, but the traveler requiring a Schengen visa should verify the specific entry requirements with the appropriate consulates or immigration authorities.
