  • H

    Heather

    Asked on July 5th, 2026

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

    Age Range
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten July 2026

      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.

  • L

    Louise

    Asked on June 13th, 2026

    Can people aged 77 and 78 participate in the tour?

    Age Range
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten June 2026

      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!

  • H

    Helen

    Asked on April 21st, 2026

    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?

    Age Range
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten April 2026

      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.

  • L

    Lauren

    Asked on March 14th, 2026

    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?

    Age Range
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten March 2026

      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.
