I am a travel agent and i have a client who is interested in this tour. They will be a solo traveler and would like to have a room to themselves. Would this group be a good fit for them?

The single supplement option is not available unfortunately, as our tours operate on a shared room basis.

Is guide English and with group each day

Yes, the tour is English-speaking only and is fully guided throughout the tour, with the guide accompanying the group each day.

We are 74 & 776 yrs of age - but quite active and in good shape— this FYI.

yes we are a couple and as far as Hotel booking is concerned we are expecting a double room and if possible, a queen or a king bed would be preferable

We are an active "Senior Couple" — 73/76 yrs of Age interested in this trip of Balkans from 18/ Sept. Will this be possible?

You are both very welcome to join and book the trip departing on 18 September. We would be delighted to have you on the tour.

Can people aged 77 and 78 participate in the tour?

Provided they are comfortable with the pace of the itinerary and are able to participate independently, we would be pleased to welcome them on the tour!

The age restriction is 60. Sounds really young to me. I am 72 and my husband is 76. This is the tour we want. Can we get an exception?

The age mentioned is not a strict restriction, but rather a **guideline** based on the pace and nature of the itinerary. You are absolutely welcome to join the tour as long as you feel comfortable with the level of activity involved.

See that you have an age restriction 18-60. My friend and I are 70 & 77 years old, respectively, and are in good health. So your tour would prohibit us from participating?

The 18–60 age range shown on the tour page reflects the *typical age range of most participants*, rather than a strict requirement. Guests outside that range are absolutely welcome to join. Since you are traveling together and will be sharing a room, you are more than welcome to participate in the tour. As long as you feel comfortable with the itinerary and activity level, we would be delighted to have you both join us.
