I'm interested in the 9/10-21/10/2026 Balkans Explored tour. However, your tour has age limit of up to 59yo. Would you accept 2 of us, a well traveled couple aged 68 and 70? We are in good health and exercise regularly so should be able to take the physical activities as mentioned in the itinerary.

We would be happy to accept both of you on the tour, provided that you are comfortable with the tour itinerary and physical activity level, as outlined in the trip details. As you mentioned that you are both in good health and exercise regularly, it sounds very promising and we are pleased to accommodate you together on our trip !

This was an excellent trip with great people. We got to see and experience so much and I made some strong connections with fellow travellers. There was a lot to see and even though the tour was pretty long, some places were just skimmed over. More time in Montenegro would be nice and more time in Belgrade would also have been nice. Beautiful scenery and loved seeing Sarajevo and doing the length of Greece. Thessaloniki, Delphi and Meteora were amazing highlights.Show more

This was a fast-paced tour that allowed us to cover a lot of territory in the time we had available. Our tour guide (Bojan) was very knowledgeable and made this a truly memorable experience. The local tour guides in each of the cities we visited did an excellent job of giving us their more personal insights in this culturally diverse region. After completing the Balkan leg of the trip, we continued to Greece with our new tour guide (Giannis) who was very enthusiastic about sharing his experiences with his homeland. All in all, this was a great trip that my son and I thoroughly enjoyed.Show more

The tour schedule was amazing! The places we visited were breath taking! The two guides (Simon and Lidia) and the two drivers (Slave and Yvo) were the absolute best! The hotels were nice! I absolutely loved everything about this trip! But I want to give special recognition to Simon as he showed he was super passionate about his job and his region, to Lidia's kindness as she took really good care of us and to the drivers, as they were also really nice and helped elevating this experience to the next level.Show more

  Traveler•Written May 2026
  Are we travelling with the same group of people throughout or will there be people leaving and joining the tour at different locations?
- Travel TalkOperator•Written May 2026
  Currently, just a few passengers booked so far, so it will be fully confirmed 60 days prior to departure date.
- Travel TalkOperator•Written May 2026
  Airport transfer is only available on Day 1, so will not able to provide on another date, unfortunately.
- Travel TalkOperator•Written May 2026
  Check in generally starts from 2pm at most of hotels, so you can check in your room accordingly.
- Travel TalkOperator•Written May 2026
  There might be some passengers leaving a few days early if they book 11 Days tour.

  Andrew
  Traveler•Written May 2026
  So if I book this tour and you can't get 12 pax then it will be cancelled and I get full refund?
- Travel TalkOperator•Written May 2026
  If the tour is cancelled by our end, sure you will receive full refund.

  Andrew
  Traveler•Written May 2026
  Does Travel Talk give discounts for seniors?
- Travel TalkOperator•Written May 2026
  As your enquiry is made through TourRadar (the booking platform), we're unfortunately unable to offer additional senior discounts beyond the promotions already available online. If you do see any active discounts on the tour page, those would be the best available offers at the time of booking.
